Ok, had a hard drive issue awhile back but now need my files :)

I've lost my custom textures (original files) but have them in my packed map :)

Is there anyway I can get them out of the packed map so that I can use them again?

Thanks

I know this is an old thread, but I am having the same problem and would like to know how you fixed it. Thanks in advance.

Un-repack it if you repacked it (basically the same process as repacking but minus the "-compress" parameter). Then open it in GCFscape. If this somehow doesn't work, let us know where it went wrong.

GCFscape worked without a hitch! Thanks for the help. I repacked the map, but I tried to open it in VIDE first. I got the same error I was getting initially and I started panicking for a second, but everything worked just fine when I opened it in GCFscape.
