If a ZIP archive is truncated or damaged, Offzip can sometimes recover individual compressed streams that standard tools reject.

You extracted a text file using Offzip, edited the text to change a character's name, and now want to put it back into data.pak. If a ZIP archive is truncated or damaged,

1. Check the original offset: Assume the original file was extracted from offset 0x1000.

2. Compress and Inject: You want to compress your edited file (edited.txt) and put it exactly back at offset 0x1000 inside data.pak.

packzip -o 0x1000 edited.txt data.pak

3. Handling Size Differences: If your new text is smaller than the original, Packzip will write the new compressed stream and pad the remaining space with null bytes (00) if specified, but usually, it just writes the stream. If your new text is larger, it will overwrite the data immediately following the offset. In complex modding, you must ensure the new compressed data is equal to or smaller than the original, or rebuild the entire archive structure.

The most confusing aspect for beginners is the offset parameter.

Let's say you extracted a file from offset 0x1000 using Offzip, modified the text inside, and now want to put it back.

packzip modified.dat original_game.pak 0x1000

offzip <input_file> <output_directory> <file_offset>
