Exploring a .rwp file ?

Post by MisterWho »

There was a repaint for the RSC Class 86 in Porterbrook colours uploaded yesterday. I don't have that particular DLC but I do have the WCML 86, and wondered if the repaint could be applied to that. That got me thinking about how I could actually apply the repaint, so my question is - how do you explore a .rwp file ?

My current version of WinZip will quite happily open a .rpk file and treat it as most other archive file types. However, it won't open a .rwp file, saying that the archive has been corrupted. Is there any way to either explore a .rwp file that has not yet been installed by the RW2 packager, or to install the contents of that file to a temporary location so that it can be explored there ?

Thanks in advance for any help,

WinRAR will let you explore .rwp files.

As will 7Zip - which is free and unlimited.

Lots of steam and early diesels from 1959 to 1963.

Thanks for that too. 7-Zip isn't my favourite archive manager, but I have used it before when it did something that other managers couldn't. Looks like I'll have to reinstall it just for .rwp files ...
