as for as I know, the is a ERA II mod named "New Rampart Interface". This mod is form a Chinese forum, so there must be a way you can change it from a Chinese mod to a usable English mod, right? Anyone?

Can you extract them from the file? Then you can rename them to English.

Dude, rename the defs, not the mod, to anything you can with your keyboard, even numbers will do. Then def tool will open them.

what I am trying to say with the "new rampart interface"(actually it is another rampart) mod is that is a mod that makes a rampart interface better, by using a "*.pac" file (and a erm..). And   it is originally a Chinese mods, and it files are originally created by a Chinese, right? So, if I have a  "def" or a "pac" or a "vid",etc.. from the Chinese I should be able some how to open it and insert it into the game, right? Yet, "defpreview" can't open it, MMarchive can't open another? then, is there a way I can use these file?

Put the def OUT of the chinese folder (desktop for example), then name it to 123.def, not zip or else.

I think there is some problems with the directory name. As the error code suggests. Maybe when the Chinese author created it, he used a Chinese version of "def editor" and those "move up" "move down" "shoot up" "hex- attack up" ect.. are all in Chinese? Is that's why I can't open it?
