It's a step by step "how to" how can you extract any files from Elex 2 *.PAK files

Elex 2 – extract *.PAK files
Tools: -Lianzifu
https://forum.worldofplayers.de/forum/threads/1511649-release-Risen-3-string-table-un-packer-(lianzifu)
-quickbms

I created a ZIP with lianzifu and quickbms and all configs (Elex2ExtractTools.zips)

Step 1. -open CMD prompt and go to Elex2’s data\packed directory
E:\>cd e:\Games\ELEX2\data\packed
Step 2. List .Pak files with filter ’*str*’
e:\Games\ELEX2\data\packed>quickbms_4gb_files.exe -l -f "*str*" risen.bms c_1_na.pak e:\Games\ELEX2\data\packed\bms_extract2

Step 5. Check Extracted *.str - It’s binary file
Step 6. Extract *.str with lianzifu
e:\Games\ELEX2\data\packed>lianzifu.exe --read-map "e:\Games\ELEX2\data\packed\lianzifu-unpack.elex2.csv" --read-ini "
e:\Games\ELEX2\data\packed\ini\loc.ini" --read-bin "e:\Games\ELEX2\data\packed\bms_extract\localization\en.str" --save-csv --exit 1> "%~dpn0.log"
2>&1
Step 7. Check Extracted *.str in ELEX2\data\packed\data\raw\strings
e:\Games\ELEX2\data\packed>dir e:\Games\ELEX2\data\packed\data\raw\strings
