Extracting and Packing ARC Files

Due to the versatility of .arc files in this game, it is important to be able to edit them at will. There are two parts to this: extracting them and repacking them.

Tools Needed
The best tool for this is Lunaboy's RARC Tools, specifically ArcPack / ArcExtract. ARCTools is not recommended, and is only included for completeness.

Extracting .arc Files
Dragging an .arc file into ArcExtract.exe will cause the internal directories and files to be extracted into the same directory as the .arc file.

If you want to have an .arc file in its own folder:
 * 1) Create a new folder with the desired name
 * 2) Copy .arc file (and ArcExtract.exe) into that folder
 * 3) Extract using ArcExtract.exe as normal
 * 4) Delete the original .arc file (and ArcExtract.exe)

Repacking .arc Files
To repack a folder into an .arc file, a folder can be dragged into ArcPack.exe, and an .arc file with the same name as the folder should appear in the same directory as the folder.

Useful .bat files
For extracting .arc files into their own folder: mkdir "%~n1" copy %1 ".\%~n1" copy "ArcExtract.exe" ".\%~n1" cd ".\"%~n1"ArcExtract.exe "%~nx1" del ArcExtract.exe del "%~nx1"
