About:

GCFScape v1.8.6 - GCFScape and all the files you need to run it (except the .NET Framework).

Download:

• Installer (525 KB)
• Archive (334 KB)

Runtimes: (Required)

.NET Framework - GCFScape is written in C++ .NET (using Visual C++ 2010 SP1) and as such requires the .NET Framework 4.0 (or later) and the Visual C++ 2010 SP1 runtime to run.

Download:

If you don't already have the .Net Framework installed, or are unsure what to do, download the .Net Framework 4.*:

• Microsoft .NET Framework

If you already have the .Net Framework installed, and just want to update your C++ runtimes, download the appropriate Visual C++ runtime:

• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Runtime (x86)
• Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 SP1 Runtime (x64)

Is there any way to use it on Linux? Debian?

I have downloaded GCFscape and .net foundation thing and tried to extract the "Dark messiah" GCFs but it came up with error
"the handle is invalid" even just trying to use GCFscape brings up the error. what does it mean and is there a way around this.
PS I am not a PC expert so something simple please.

I really need to know quickly PLEASE reply to me I'm desperate!

Oh God PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!

hi

I recently downloaded fallout 3 from steam and im having a problem with playing the game. Ive been told that the solution to this problem is to extract either the nfc or gfc files and making them standalone will fix the problem. Can i do this with GCF scape and if so, how do i do it?

Hello, when i try to open GCFscape, it says "This application has fail to start because the configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix the problem"
Please give the configuration i am meant to use.

Last time i formatted my pc i installed Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and i have been using both Gcfscape and Vtfedit successfully, however now all of a sudden both programs crash on startup, for example, when i start Gcfscape i get this message:

"Description:

I have checked dotNET and Visual C++ and both are up to date, i removed the read only but nothing happened, i tried running in compability mode for vista and xp without any luck.

What the hell is going on?

Hello there NEM, my name is Opti and I am a long time user of GCFScape and it's tools.

I recently got an error in GCF that will not allow me to extract any skins from the Half-Life 2 game or GarrysMod, only Day Of Defeat. I am reinstalling Half-Life 2 and Garry's Mod and Day Of Defeat and what not, but the error still exists.

The VTF files show up as gray, which I am assuming is meaning they are missing. I have Half-Life 2 and Garry's Mod installed and still the error persists.

I tried looking up the error on forums and sites and still nothing. I have reinstalled GCF and the error still occurs.

Here

Sorry for the huge image, but I just need to show you what I am talking about :[

This happens with a Myriad of other things as well. It shows some of the VMF files are there but not VTF even after I load up both Half Life and Garry's Mod. It really bugs me :[

Any help?

When I try to load any file that is in gray text it says this:

"Error writing C:\Documents and Settings\Tony\Local Settings\Temp\v_superphyscannon_sheet.vtf (Error: Unexpected end of GCF stream (0 B of 349744 B). Has the GCF file been completely acquired?)" For the VTF and:

"Error writing C:\Documents and Settings\Tony\Local Settings\Temp\v_superphyscannon_sheet.vmt (Error: Unexpected end of GCF stream (0 B of 273 B). Has the GCF file been completely acquired?)" For the VMT.

Can anyone help me out with this?

The Grey colour indicates in fact that the files are missing. Since I've recently heard more often of such problems, I'd like to take a look myself, so could you please tell me which GCF-File you are opening?
Thanks

Try half-life 2 content.gcf
Been a problem since the Mac update.

On clan server (Windows 2003 R2)

d1_eli_01.bsp and a few others are grey.
If you run validate it says they are incomplete.

root\hl2\maps\d1_eli_01.bsp

I have deleted HL2 and re-downloaded. Makes no difference.

On home PC Win7 x64 the files are not grey and do validate / extract. However when I uploaded to Synergy server and select map it states "Server version differs"

Hope that helps.

Okay, I took a look. When you redownload the GCF, you don't get all the files. I noticed that VALVe moved the missing files into half-life 2 2007 base content.gcf. You will find what you are looking for in there :)

I assume you had HL2 installed there before the update. The files were left over, it's the same for me (my GCF is complete, but when I redownload, some files are missing).
Hope that helped,
DomIII

Thats great thanks. Not what I expected at all. Would be nice if it cleaned up after itself :-)

Very stange that GCFScape still shows the names in the original location. Some catalog in the GCF I presume.

Thanks again I'll get my Synergy server updated tonight and see if eli_01 has been fixed. The old one used to make Synergy crash :-(

Indeed, it's the GCF's fault. Afaik, it contains a table of files which are inside.


yw and good luck!

Okay. So I believe it is because of the stupid Mac update (No offense to Mac users, it just sucks) but I figured out it will not load up my "Source Materials" content folder but will however load up my "Source 2007 Shared Materials" folder and load up everything in that. I got a little upset at first, but no worry now.

If anyone is having the same problem as I am with the GCF files not being able to download and what not, please use:

SOURCE 2007 SHARED MATERIALS" and I believe it will work. Thank you for your help though.

I have a problem. I installed every requirement properly, but this program won't run. it crashes whenever I try to open it. any idea why?

This program doesn't work with the new VPK2 format introduced in yesterdays (10/3/2012) update to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. Is there any plan to update it?

Seems to work fine to me...

moi aussi même problème et c'est bien le GCFScape v1.8.3
pour moi c'est la meme chose ça ne marche par
Yat-il eu une nouvelle mise à jour de Counter-Strike Global Offensive ??


me too same problem and it's the GCFScape v1.8.3for me it is the same thing it works byThere was a new update of Counter-Strike Global Offensive ??

i just tried opening the latest files and it worked...which file are you opening? remember that you need to open the _dir vpk file!

j'ai essayé ouvrir la courante version de cs go et ca marche...quelle fichier est-ce que tu essaye à ouvrir? on doit sélectionner la vpk avec _dir en nom.

(pardonnez moi, je ne parle la langue francaise pas très bien, et je pense que google translate est trop stupide)

Doesn't work with new Valve GCF format, just updated half-life 2 deathmatch.gcf and says Incomplete for all files, extraxts them as 0 bytes files. Any update coming soon?

When I go to File>Open then to Steam>Steamapps I don't see "Team Fortress 2 Content" anywhere but I have TF2!

I hope people still read these comments. Using the latest version of GCFscape, but .vmt files no longer appear when opening the new .vpk files. I can't see vmt's in TF2, HL2, or any other steampipe game it seems. Is this something that can be fixed?

Going through the files such as tf2_textures_dir with a text editor, I can see the files still exist in there as plaintext. What's going on?

Hi, folks. Extremely new to what you do here. Is this where I would post for some help with a downloaded game that is a .vpk file? I downloaded the GCFScape v1.8.5 full, but have NO idea what to do from this point.

I just want the game because it is based in a local small(ish) town - might be fun. I'd appreciate any help that you can offer a willing student. Thanks!

ty sir may i have another

Hey Nemesis, So I wanted to make a CS:GO SFM Animation. I tried to extract the pak.dir(something).vpk. I keep getting this error every single time I try to extract something using GCFScape:
