How to extract and pack Dragon Nest

How to Extract Dragon Nest:

Step 1: Download DNExtract.zip and extract it into a folder of your choice.

Step 2: Copy pasta your Resource00, Resource01, Resource02, and Resource03 files into this folder. You can find these files in "C:\Nexon\DragonNest" assuming you installed Dragon Nest to the default folder.

Step 3: Run quickbms.exe. When you do a command window should pop-up, then a window for you to select a file. In this first window select the file dragonnest.bms.

Step 4: A new window should open asking for another file, this time select Resource00.pak. After hitting open the last window will pop up asking for the filename, this one doesn't matter really. Just put whatever you want.

Step 5: After a while it will extract all the files in Resource00 to new folders inside whatever folder you have all of this stuff in.

Step 6: Rinse and repeat for the rest of the Resource files and you're done.

How to pack Dragon Nest:

Step 1: Download DNPack.zip and extract it into a folder of your choice.

Step 2: Copy and Paste the files you wish to edit into where they would normally go in the resource folder, if the folder is missing, make a new folder with that name. Remember, you don't need to include all of the files into the subfolder, only the ones you want to edit.

Step 3:Edit Pack-all so that it includes the sub folders you wish to pack, but remember you need to include each sub folder seperately.

Step 4: Run Pack-All and put the file that is created into the "Nexon/Dragon Nest" folder with the other .pak files (Resource00.pak, Resource01.pak, Resource02.pak, Resource03.pak)

Step 5: Run Dragon Nest and test out your changes.

How am i missing Resource01.pak & Resource02.pak? -.-

Oh @HoLyNeSs I think it's easier to use the Packing program that was found on the Chinese website. All you have to do copy and paste all the files into the resource folder, and hit the execute button (in weird symbols since I dont have Chinese on my laptop)
