Native RPF Unpacker

Extract dlc.rpf and nested RPF content locally into a folder ready to become a FiveM vehicle resource.

Unpacker runs a local extractor to unpack dlc.rpf into a folder that can be prepared as a FiveM resource, without opening OpenIV.

Extract an archive

  1. Open Unpacker.
  2. Click Browse under Select dlc.rpf File.
  3. Inspect the automatically suggested output. It uses the RPF parent folder name with a _resource suffix.
  4. Choose a different Output Resource Folder if required.
  5. Click Extract Resource and wait for completion.

After success, the output is added to the active workspace and the application returns to Scanner. Click Scan Workspace to discover the result.

Limitations

  • Extraction does not guarantee that the result already has valid FiveM manifest, metadata, or paths. Inspect the generated structure.
  • Encrypted or unsupported RPF archives cannot be opened.
  • The feature does not bypass Asset Escrow or publisher protection.
  • Use an empty output directory so old files are not mixed into the result.
  • Extractor.exe not found means an application converter component is missing or quarantined. Reinstall from the official installer.

After extraction

Locate the relevant stream and metadata files, create or review fxmanifest.lua, and confirm every data_file path. Scan and test the result on a development server. Use Export for final packaging only after determining which extracted files are actually required.
