Rusted PackFile Manager vs TTGames Explorer Rebirth

Rusted PackFile Manager (RPFM) opens, inspects, edits and saves PackFiles for Total War games from Empire onward, including Pharaoh, Warhammer 3, Troy, Three Kingdoms, Attila and Rome 2. Its pack editor handles multiple archives and supports bulk file additions, extraction, renaming, duplication and deletion. Editors cover database tables, localisation, scripts, animations, models and other listed game formats. The DB editor offers schema-aware lookups, sorting, filtering and TSV import and export; localisation data can also be exchanged through TSV. Global search and replace spans packs, vanilla data and parent mods, and diagnostics flag issues including invalid references, missing localisation, portrait variants and animation gaps. Per-game MyMod workspaces include asset folders, templates, import and export, and one-click installation to a game's data folder. Translation tools connect mod translations with the Total War Translation Hub. A headless server provides a documented WebSocket protocol and an MCP endpoint with more than 150 tools, prompts and resources. RPFM is free under the MIT License; listed platforms are API, Linux, self-hosted and Windows.

TTGames Explorer Rebirth is a free, open-source utility for exploring and extracting assets from TTGames LEGO video games. It browses and extracts .dat, .fpk, .pac, and .pak archives, with batch extraction for multiple assets. Supported text files such as .txt, .xml, and .csv open in a color-coded viewer. The tool can preview textures including .dds and .tex and export them as PNG. Audio formats including .adp, .cbx, .mp3, and .ogg can be played and converted. It also handles .ft2 fonts, .tsh texture sets, shaders, and models, with previews for shaders and models. TTGames compression and encryption methods include LZ2K, Deflate, and RC4; Deflate support excludes .an4 files. The project is distributed under the MIT License.
