Merging multiple cpk files into one:

in this tutorial we are going to merge multiple cpk files into one file in case you want to arrange your customized files or you need to free up extra slots, in this example, we are going to merge the four face cpk files into one cpk that contains all four faces.

9. Replace the old cpk with the new one:

the new CPK file you created contains all 4 CPK files, now copy or move the new file into the download folder of the game to replace the old CPK file

you can now use the other extra cpk files to add other things.
