Meta Files

There are two files you need to create for a new archive. Create these files on your desktop. 

content.xml
setup2.xml

Inside of these files you will need to add the following code and replace 'REPLACEME' with exact characters that you would like to replace them with. 'dlc_' is required. Ie. mytextures.

Setting Up An Archive

Generally speaking when you're working with the creation of a new dlcpack you will need to have the following structure according to this page: 

- dlc.rpf
    - content.xml
    - setup2.xml
    - x64
        - textures
            - myCustomFile.rpf
                - myYTDFile.ytd

Here's an example of folder structure:

  • You can use CTRL + ALT + O in OpenIV to open a new folder.
  • Open a New Folder and then right-click the white-space on the right-side of OpenIV and create a new RPF file.
  • This RPF file must be called 'dlc'.
  • Inside this rpf mimic the above folder structure.
  • Once this is complete the addon is ready for your server.

DLC Pack Installation

The name of your DLC Pack is the name of your folder for the dlc pack.
