Hello everyone, i'm trying to mod Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb [2003] and Buffy The Vampire Slayer [2002]
both games share the same engine, and use similar file format,
and i need help with replacing 3 things:

1. PAK files - Is there a way to create a new pak file after extracting it's contents, and mofidying them?
Indiana Jones uses the same PAK file type as Buffy The Vampire Slayer XBOX [2002]
I know how to extract those files, but is there a script to create a brand new PAK file that can be replaced with the original one after modding?

2. MTX texture format - I need to replace just a couple of textures, mainly HUD, Fonts, and some logos.
Scripts to extract those textures mostly work, but some specific textures appear corrupted, and i can't seem to replace them, even though some long time ago, another user managed to mod and replace some textures for Indiana Jones, and i'm using the same scripts.

3. RPE files - Those files contain almost all the dialogue from the game, there is a tool to extract them, does anyone know a way how to recreate that RPE file once extracted?

Each file format was already researched by various users here on forums, and on xentax.
If anyone can help me with modding these games, just send me a message.
And if anyone's interested what's this mod is all about, links below:

Using various tools, and tips from related topics, i've managed to mix those 2 games a little bit.
