Usually you gonna have more reliable result if you copy the mod folder (the one you drag into the "DROP_MOD_FOLDER_HERE-SFV" bat file) into the u4pak folder first.

To make a mod a PAK file:

1.)  Copy u4pak.exe into the root of a specific mod's folder (which should include the StreetFighterV/Content/Chara.. folders).

2.)  Hold SHIFT > Right Click any empty space in that folder > Open Command Prompt (or Open PowerShell, something similar ie; a command prompt).

3.)  Type cmd, hit Enter.

4.)  Type u4pak.exe pack name_of_mod.pak StreetFighterV, hit Enter.

You should now have a PAK version of the mod in that same root folder.

I don't use Win10 so I am not sure, but it maybe caused by Windows Defender (the built-in antivrus program from Windows) blocks the u4pak program as it probably classifies the u4pak as malware (it's false alarm).

u4pak.exe pack nameoffolder.pak StreetFighterV

isnt working

i pasted the upak exe in the right place and the street fighter v folder has the content folder inside of it

Sometimes the u4pak program doesn't work properly with the mod folder with long path, so make sure the path is not too long such as "C:\u4pak" (no quote ofc) and usually it's better if you copy/move the mod folder you want to pak into the u4pak folder (the example earlier). So in your case, the path is gonna be like this: "C:\u4pak\[mod folder] (any name is okay)\StreetFighterV\.." (again, no quote).

Not familiar with PowerShell as I never use it, but have you tried using the regular command prompt (cmd) instead?

Oh, don't know that as I still use Windows 7 and in here CMD and Power Shell are separate. Anyway, I can't think of other things atm that can help you so I am sorry, maybe someone with Win10 can help you later.

I was just running through the process I noted above, and got an error when I typed the:
u4pak.exe pack KrizmKazm-Poison-C1.pak StreetFighterV

So I first typed cmd, then Hit Enter.  THEN, typed:
u4pak.exe pack KrizmKazm-Poison-C1.pak StreetFighterV

and it worked.  Try that if you're still having trouble.  I also updated my instructions above with this info.

Hello,

I have someone making a mod for me and they are having an issue where they repack the uasset file into a pak file but once its finished the pak file is Zero KB. Anyone know what that reason would be? Please let me know, thank you.

It's either the name is too long or the name contains some unique character (such as the "&' sign).
