I don't understand what you are asking but I think you've missed the pretty nice "ModsDoc.pdf" on the "modtools" folder that literally explains how to use all the mod tools. That's the best guide you could ever get provided by the very same developer with their own tools!

For the music is as simple as unpack, replace maintaining the same filenames, repack. All with a simple command line. Super straight-forward.

Give it a try!

...I keep abandoning ship every time I attempt to understand the instructions, which are insane to me. A more simple guide on the Dead Cells Steam Guides would be nice instead.

Could we get an example of the command line to unpak the res.pak? I keep getting error messages. pleez k thx

Can we just get one made for dummies like me?

working on it...

use these so u dont have to mess with the command line stuff https://gitlab.com/alaah/dead-cells-barebones

instructions are good, follow exactly
and it gets simpler from there

For the love of me, I didn't manage to do this. I get error after error, the game guide says "do this" but doesn't tell me where I do it...

How do I use it?
-?: Display this help
-Expand -outdir <output directory> -refpak <input pak path> [-s]: Expands a given PAK to a file tree

Create a pak from a directory with only what has changed or been added from the ref pak (typically for mods)

When I open PAKTool.exe I get an error message, so I can't "use it". I Googled it yet didn't find a solution, and I don't know how to use command prompt

I feel so stupid! The instructions are good, I just- please help T-T

Ok! I'm THIS close to doing a music mod :)
For reference, I used the gitlab link to solve my problem. Thanks nevermelt!!!

I have a problem, I might solve it with time but in case I don't:
Here is where I downloaded the files from gitlab, for reference-
E:\Jogos\Steam\SteamApps\common\Dead Cells\dead-cells-barebones-master
I edited the config.bat so it targets the correct folder (I can send what I wrote there for you to see if I did anything wrong); I went to PAK folder (you said to leave PAKV alone, so I did) and it was empty! So, I went to PAKV, copied the music folder and pasted on the PAK folder. Then, I added two audios to the music folder located on PAK; I named them PrisonIntro and PrisonLoop (I overwrote the music that was there) (the audios are saved in .ogg, like everything else). I then compiled the pak using compile-pak.bat.

I tried playing the game using the Dummy mod, but there was no music. I copied the res.pak from the barebones folder (the compiled res.pak I just mentioned) and pasted on the Dummy mod on E:\Jogos\Steam\SteamApps\workshop\content\588650\1405810340, overwritten what was there.

When I play a new game with Dummy mode active, it plays normal but no music, at all.

What did I do wrong?
(normal game and custom game (without Dummy mod) are working fine)

I think you just missed one step. Here, from the ModTools.pdf, hope this helps:


Navigate to <Steam installation Directory>\steamapps\workshop\content\588650\1405810340 (by default C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\588650\1405810340)

Replace the res.pak in the directory by your own mod pak you created.

After you do that, it should work on the Dummy mod,

I did that step, it didn't work though. BTW, you say mod pak "you created", but I created nothing. I copied the res.pak from the Dead Cells folder and pasted it on the barebones-master folder, and then used the config.bat
Am I supposed to remove the res.pak from the barebones-master folder and use config.bat again?

Ok, I did what I said I would do. First I extracted the vanilla for a clear save/mod. Then I copied the music folder from PAKV to PAK, replaced the two audios with audio of my own. Then I compiled the pak, and then compiled cdb for good measure and compiled all for good riddance. But there was no res.pak for me to move to the Dummy mod's folder!

It puts it there automaticly if you use that utility I linked to. Gimmy a day to reread this thread and refresh myself of the process and get back to you.
