Yes you can.  You can unpack the assets and use them in your Project.  You will need to create a new .rez file when distributing the assets because you can't rely on everyone owning the game to have the expansion pack installed. 

It's been about 10 years since I've done it.  Someone else will have to explain how.  Off the top of my head, I think WinRez is the best tool for unpacking assets.   Unlike LithRez, it has Windows style UI which makes it easier.  That is, if I remember right.  lol.

As windebieste said,

it's basically the same game with *extras* so of course you can load DEdit stuff with it.

Yes you can.
The object.lto and cshell.dll are quite necessary if you want to make map specific for Primal Hunt.
With them unrez, you can access some new libraries of object in DEdit.
You can do that with every mod, quite useful if you want to use special items created in the mod.

You may have to rewrite the batch file. 

Or, if you can find WinRez download that.  It's all windows based and does the same thing without messing around with DOS commands.

WinRez download.

Remember though, winrez has major problems with windows 7/8/10.


Unless they patched it? (or is that company still around?)

Are you hinting at their "trials"?  :laugh:

What OS? last time i checked, it installs fine, it loads up fine, but the second you pack a rez it just bombs and causes the explorer.exe to fail miserably.

you'll be no doubt, using *lithrez* very soon.

Very odd, perhaps it works under 10 then.

Very good if it does, saves time packing rez files that way.

Are people still using winrez_cancer.rez? This program is completely useless and will give your computer AIDS. The game tools provide the means to extract content using the unrez.bat
