How to make a pak file

[kylearalar]

I just want to know that how to make a pak file

[saarkie]

Yeh so do I. Im sure more people would contribute to simutrans if they could learn about how to create pak files and wat not. It feels like the people who know how to do it dnt have the time.

You could read the wiki:

Give it a go, and if you get stuck on a particular part of it, then post a help request with a specific question and then I've found people will always be willing to help out.

Yeh i checked that out, its not really that detailed like a step by step process. i remember somewhere someone asked if someone could expand that.

There's not very much to the process.  As the article says, you need
(1) an png image of 8 rotations - how you create the images is up to you
(2) a dat file, with a reference section on the site

At the risk of repeating myself, give it a go, and then let us know when you need help.  People are much more likely to offer help if they see that someone has at least made an effort themselves.
