How To Correctly Rebuild a VPP_PC File

Hello again! I am trying to repack the "common.vpp_pc" file with the Gibbed Tools Rebuild .exe via a batch file and the program is returning a file that is about a 4th the size of the original. The game then proceeds to crash if I try to load it up. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to correctly rebuild it. Thank you again for your time! :)
 
Why would you do that? Any file you put in patch.vpp_pc will always override other archives. Patch.vpp_pc is the only archive you should ever need to modify ever.
Here's my batch file as an example you can use:
Gibbed.SaintsRow2.BuildPackage.exe "patch.vpp_pc" "modified" "extracted\patch"

PART I: Gibbed.SaintsRow2.BuildPackage.exe
The tools are in the root with the batch file so I don't need to specify the path

PART II: "patch.vpp_pc"
The name you would like to call your packed archive. This will create it in the current folder

PART II: "modified"
The subfolder containing your modded files

PART III: "extracted\patch"
The path to the subfolder containing the extracted contents of the original patch.vpp_pc
 
Oh, I wanted to do that because I realized that the xtbl files containing character info were in there (I was and still am searching for the file containing the player character's textures and just happened to stumble upon the xtbls) and I wanted to see if I could make them spawn with different clothing. Thank you for the help though! I really appreciate it! :)
 
Just keep in mind that any file from any vpp can go into patch. It's a great way to keep everything tidy and organized. It's also fast to build and test since it's so small.

Let me know if you still have any other problems.
