This "tutorial" is strange.

And you also need svredit ofcourse to do the export (not extract) & import...

1. Push the start menu of windows and just type CMD in your search field and CMD (command line) will start.

2. In CMD window, type
cd C:\svredit
if C:\svredit is the folder where you put your svredit installation.

3. Put the bg.pac you want to export to pac files in that folder.
Type
export bg.pac

4. Follow 3-7 above.

5. Put the bg.pac you want to import an arena TO in the svredit_files folder as is described in the readme.

6. Type
import_arena ... (read readme file)

I can't to figure out with a point 7. When I replace C8 BPE with a C8.PAC, X Packer give me an error.

Well it's rare i do that and don't have problem what it say?

@Nike i consider way easier to put CMD in the svredit folder don't need to do your steps, but you're right i forget to said that you need Svredit. :wall: and that's fixed now. Hope you're happy now! :toast:

I edited bg.pac.18 from SvR 2011 (The Bash Arena). Yes, I did the same - exported the C8.PAC from bg.pac.18 and edited. But then somehting wrong. I open again bg.pac.18. and trying to inject C8.Pac. But see this.

Spoiler: click to toggle:

It's really strange what if you try with the newest version of X-Packer importing (not inject) and tell if work.

[Napster]

I have tried 6 and 8.2 versions, but the result the same - "inject".
