S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 – Merging Multiple LocalizationDB_P Files & Extracting Issues – Need Help!

[Idingerma93]

Hello everyone,

I have a question regarding the LocalizationDB_P files in S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2. Many mods rely on these files, but I would like to merge multiple LocalizationDB_P files from different mods, so that all objects display the correct names instead of placeholders like "Item_pp19" or similar codes.

My problem is:

• When I try to extract LocalizationDB_P.pak using UnrealPak Tool, I only get empty folders.
• Other mod .pak files extract without any issues.
• I don’t understand why this happens specifically with localization files.

My questions:

Is there anyone who can explain how to merge multiple LocalizationDB_P files correctly?
Why do these .pak files extract empty folders when using UnrealPak Tool, and is there a way to access their content?

I’d really appreciate any help, as YouTube and ChatGPT have only provided limited solutions so far. Thanks in advance!
