PAK Files
PAK is one of the most complex file formats that SS3D has. As mentioned in our filetype overview post, PAK stands for Pack, and the purpose of this filetype is to contain the majority of each client’s actual assets, such as models, textures, animations, etc. An easy way to conceptualize them is as a ZIP file, but without any compression and without being nearly as resilient to issues. Interacting with PAK files in any way requires using SS3D’s FileStorage library, the clients, tools, and SS3D itself all depend on this library to access PAK files.
