A TAR archive is any .big or .viv file. Think of these files as a different kind of zip file

oh ok...but heres what i did lol..i altered the ai file now i want to put it back in the game...i tried zipping up the new ai file with Winrar but that didnt work either...so is there a TAR archive already on my pc or somethingthat i'm supposed to stick that altered file into?

hey Hercules...it ake it that your'e a professional at this sort of thing ...so is there an easy way for an amateur like me to attempt something like this? ...it seemed pretty easy as far as changing the data stuff inside the file though lol.

Well, the .big or .viv file that you extract your edited file, is the one you import it back in.

they keep asking me to specify a new or existing TAR archive...then when i use browse and open my ai.ini file they say its not a EA TAR archive...do i have to rename the files or something for it to work?
