Maybe WRITE DIRBLOCK and READ DIRBLOCK could help?

I love Star Trek.
Especially the Episodes with Starships in.

And your post sounded a bit sharp...
Try being a bit more friendly perhaps?
It sounded like you were treating me like i was thick...

No, it was spur of the moment idea. I'd just found out about the comands, so I didn't know how to use them. I think maybe WRITE FILEBLOCK could also help?

Other than WRITE FILEBLOCK and WRITE DIRBLOCK there are no other commands for writing to a PAK, I think.

What are you trying to do, it just looks like you want to create files in a PAK file? Then those commands should work.

this commands don't write to a pak file, as a pak-file is a file in zip-format.
they only write your byte-datas into a mainfile -> could be read out by anyone

I don't think David89 meant to sound sharp, the capital letters were to show commands. Many people do this, but for this reason I usually put a command 'like this' or like this not LIKE THIS as it can look sarcastic
