Extract text from Snowdrop localization packages (LOCPACK)
To convert LOCPACK localization packages to another format, you need Snowdrop Engine or other Game software.
To convert other file formats to the "Game Localization Package" file type, you need software like Snowdrop Engine or a similar tool.
A .locpack file is a proprietary localization archive used exclusively by the Snowdrop Engine, a game engine developed by Ubisoft. These files store compiled multi-language text, UI strings, subtitles, and audio references for large-scale video games like Tom Clancy's The Division, Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and Star Wars Outlaws.
There is no official consumer software available to open or edit .locpack files. They are generated internally by Ubisoft's development toolkit. The primary disadvantage of the .locpack format is its completely closed and undocumented binary structure. Modders and translators face significant challenges because the files are unreadable in standard text editors. Modifying a file without updating its internal byte-offset tables will instantly corrupt the game data.
Users typically want to extract the contents of a .locpack file into standard formats like XML, JSON, or TXT to read or translate the in-game text. Unfortunately, standard online converters fail to process .locpack files because the binary structure is strictly proprietary and frequently updated between game releases. Often, only the original game engine or specific community-built reverse-engineering tools can accurately parse the data blocks. If our analysis detects unencrypted embedded text or an underlying readable format, basic viewing or partial data extraction may still be possible.
Convert.Guru analyzes your LOCPACK file, detects the exact format, and lets you read the text inside.
If you want to convert LOCPACK file to INI, CFG, CONF, CONFIG, JSON, XML, YAML, YML, TOML, ENV, PROPERTIES or RC, you can use Snowdrop Engine or similar software from the "Game Localization Data Storage" category. In the File menu, look for Save As… or Export….
To convert ZSHRC, CONF, RCFILE, GITCONFIG, RC, PLIST, BASHRC, CONFIG, PROFILE, INI, PREFS or CFG files to LOCPACK, try Snowdrop Engine or another comparable tool in the "Game Localization Data Storage" category.
The history of Convert.Guru began over 25 years ago in California with Tom Simondi’s file-format database. A former contributor to Space Shuttle development and a software pioneer of the 1980s, Simondi established a trusted resource for file type analysis that was even referenced by Microsoft Windows XP. Today, we use modern technology to process and convert thousands of file formats while continually improving our LOCPACK converter.
