Here is an example: `.\plpaker.exe unpack .\core.pak`

*Always use absolute or relative paths*

```bash
usage: plpaker [] []

commands:
list [] # Parse pak file and write pakinfo.json

unpack [] # Unpack pak file into the folder
pack [] # Pack new pak file based on pakinfo.json

compress # Compress a file
decompress # Decompress a file

patch # Repack pak file with files to be replaced

options:
-c | --compress # Unpack/Pack compressed files
-d | --decompress # Unpack/Pack decompressed files

If no options are specified, all options are active, otherwise only the set ones.

parameters:
-s | --start # Start index: -s=38
-e | --end # End index: -e=1602
-f | --filter # Name filter: -f=gold

All parameters work on unpack and pack commands.
```

## Disclaimer

YOU USE MODS AT YOUR OWN RISK!

By installing Mods for Pioneers of Pagonia, you are changing the official game files and modifying your game experience from the original intended product developed and published by Envision Entertainment GmbH. Keep in mind that they won't be able to provide any official technical support for your game. Changing the files of your game can create bugs, cause instability of the game client or even damage your save file. This means that if anything goes wrong after applying Mods (like black screens or game crashes) the EE support team will not be able to help you until you reset all the changes.
