If all you are looking for is a .vpp builder then all you need is this:

Vpp Builder

If you need a few more tools then I suggest you get this file instead:

Descent Manager VPVIEW32 V2.0

One is beta, the one I posted. They are both basically the same but with different dates that they were released. The beta version that I posted should be the newer one and it should contain about the same thing as the one D2K uploaded.

There is a reason why I left both version. One might not work for some while the other might.

Interesting thing I found in the descent web site:

Hmmm. I think the only thing that was modified over the years was the .exe name. I just compared the two versions here with another version I picked up years ago called DMToolkit-Installer.exe.


When the installer is activated all three show the same programs with the same data:

Descent Manager RFLAUNCH32 = Version 1.0 Beta 01 (Build 01)
Descent Manager VBMVIEW32 = Version 1.0 Beta 01b (Build 02)
Descent Manager VPPBUILDER32 = Version 1.0 Beta 02 (Buid 06)
Descent Manager VPVIEW32 = Version 2.0 Beta 05 (Build 108)

Check it out. Pretty sure that one must go.

VPView can't edit packfiles, it can only view and extract.

hmm, i'm not sure about that Hapa. That version I uploaded a while back was because I couldn't find the proper file I first started looking for the RF toolkit so I downloaded from that website (that old oooold decent website i dunno if its even up anymore) and uploaded here as-is.

You mean http://www.descent-network.com? It's still there, not updated since 2002 tho.

You can take a look at my version DMToolkit-Installer. I got this long, long ago to modify Summoner files, hehe.

Modification Dates:
DMToolkit-Installer = Sunday, September 01, 2002
rfkit01 = Tuesday, November 12, 2002
Descent Manager VPVIEW32 V2.0 = Saturday, March 25, 2006

All three .exe install the exact same applications.

Quoting myself

Descent Manager RFLAUNCH32 = Version 1.0 Beta 01 (Build 01)
Descent Manager VBMVIEW32 = Version 1.0 Beta 01b (Build 02)
Descent Manager VPPBUILDER32 = Version 1.0 Beta 02 (Buid 06)
Descent Manager VPVIEW32 = Version 2.0 Beta 05 (Build 108)


But what do I care, it's a small file. lol
