You can use extracted content in UT2004, UT3 or UDK, there are a lot of topics on this forum describing how to do this. But if you want to modify other game - there is no way.

So its impossible to make a program that chances a files format into upk.?
Like winrar do.
It can convert a files format into zip or rar.
Isnt it possible that you could do the same just that its converting the files format into upk.

UPK is much more complex than zip or rar. Unreal package is a very complex solid architecture, this is not a set of separate formats (like in other games). Internal skeletal mesh organizations is completely different from psk format. Most people are thinking that I'm simply saving some structure found in the upk. But simply compare file sizes - psk and psa are a few times larger than the package they was extracted from.

I can write my own zip or rar (if I want), but upk composing program will require a few times more time to create. I see no reason to do this.

Because some people do not wish to use the extracted content in UE based games, like myself i only intend to use the content in 3d animation packages.

uhm....where? tried searching for "extracted content" but found nothing.  I'm COMPLETELY new to modding, just wanna know how to edit the audio and subtitles of unreal engine games.  Nothing i've found is not greek to me and unrealed is all kinds of confusing....
