Converting an old custom ruleset

[Insanity]

Looking at converting an old ruleset I had worked on a few years ago, I think prior to FGII. Back then I had used the example 3.5 ruleset to see how things worked at such. I would like the same for the 4E ruleset, but can't find it. I ran the d20unpak.exe, but the folder "examples" did not appear.

Help?

Did you update FG2 to the latest version (which has the 4e rules)?

Yes, up to date with 2.7.4

There should be a 4e PAK file in the root folder of FG2.

Correct, in the Program Files. I extracted it, but did not get scripts files or such, and when I attempted to load campaign with the files extracted, got error messages.

What are you using to decompress the PAK file?

Using 7Zip, I got scripts and everything in it's own folder...

Using the FGPEMUtility.exe app

Try switching to winzip or winrar and see if that works.
I don't really know how old the FGPEMUtility program is.

Winrar did the trick. I assumed .pak would work fine with the FGPEM app, apparently not.

Thanks.

I am sure more questions about the new scripts and such will follow as I progress in my conversion.
