IOP Manager

IOP Manager opens the client’s .iop packs (zip-based archives with encrypted entries) and shows what is inside.

Sources

• The packs of the opened game folder.
• Packs from your PC: Open or drop them on the page. Any file name or extension works; files that are not packs are refused.

What you can do

• Browse: folders on the right, a breadcrumb, and a search over the whole pack (* and ? work). Ctrl and Shift select several entries.
• Preview: text (with an encoding choice: Auto, Korean CP949, Big5, GBK, Thai, Shift-JIS, Western 1252, UTF-8, UTF-16), pictures (.dds, .tga and others) and hex. Details shows size, CRC, date and flags.
• Extract: one file downloads as itself, several files or folders as one zip (folders kept).
• Pack info: sizes, old copies, unused space, the password that opened the pack and a Verify that reads every entry like the client does.
• Edit: add, replace, rename and delete entries. A file with the same path as an entry replaces it (the newest copy wins, like in the client). .ini files with comment 1 are XOR-scrambled the way the client expects.
• Optimize: leave old copies and unused space out of the downloaded pack.
• Download pack builds a new pack file with your changes. Revert drops them.

Limits

• The pack in your game folder is never changed. Put the downloaded pack into the client yourself (game closed, backup kept).
• Encrypted entries cannot be read or added until the pack’s password is known; add it on the Game Folder page.
• Packs you open here are only for IOP Manager; the other tools read the game folder’s packs.
• Changes live in the tab until you download them. Closing or reloading the tab drops them.
