Motivation

I've recently bought the Wallpaper Engine and it bugged me that I can't do much with workshop contents. I then reverse engineered the pkg file and I've managed to develop somewhat stable tool to extract, list and repack the contents of a, so called, PKGV0001 filesystem/package structure. I'm happy to accept feedback and pull requests/issues on this tool and to keep working on it if it gains some interest.

Building

Windows

create a visual studio project with atleast c++ 17. copy the main.cpp code into the project and compile.

Linux -DOESNT WORK

Or Windows with WSL
libraries required:

• libboost
• libstdc++
  
  Building it:
  $ make linux

Usage

Bring up workshop item and locate scene.pkg
Drag and drop the file into tool directory (copy, not move)
Extract it!
It should extract to a tmp folder. Don't touch it! Edit contents or do whatever you like inside of it.
Inside are the standard files of a Wallpaper Engine project. You can paste them into a new project and edit them. Don't forget to place everything into the tmp folder after you finish!

Now simply repack it! ./we r scene.pkg
Now there's the freshly repacked file!
Copy all of the old files except scene.pkg into a freshly created project and paste in your repacked scene.pkg

MAC - DOESNT WORK

Required:

• Macport or Brew (for install libboost)
• Xcode and the Xcode Command Line Tools
• libboost

Usage

1. install Xcode and the Xcode Command Line Tools

2. install libboost : brew install boost(When you installed Brew) or sudo port install boost(When you installed Macport)

2-1. If you don't have brew : ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)" < /dev/null 2> /dev/null

2-2. If you don't have Macport : Install Macport and reboot.

3. make linux

4. ./we x scene.pkg

5. ./we r scene.pkg

That's it!

Now you've successfully modified and repacked the workshop item.
You can now, after all of this, use it as a your wallpaper.
Thanks for tuning in!
