To-Do

• Possibly other features as time allows or possible bug fixes.
• Possibly finish implemention Python package for extract/repack instead of UnrealPakTool

Why UnrealPakTool\path\fix\UnrealPak\ ?

Simply to separate safe to delete files from the toolset. Folder UnrealPakTool\Engine\ can be saftely deleted as the script will recreate using fresh files each run. No need to purge though, the files get refreshed each run. This also allows me to package a full release package easier since I can delete the data that was created during my test runs. The path fix also serves the purpose of the tools harcoded directory change ..\..\..\ where it searches for the Engine\ path keeping everything within the mod tool path.
