That's over-simplification. There is more to it than meets the eye...
KFS files are ordinary ZIP files - just with a different file extension.
So, create a ZIP file (using any application capable to do so).
When done, change the file extension to KFS.
Also, make sure that file name begins with "mod_" (without the quotes) - otherwise the game will not recognize it.
When done, put your KFS file anywhere in the game directory; \sessions\base\, \data\, etc. The game will scan the subdirectories for KFS files, so it will find them no matter where you put them. However, I recommend creating a directory just for the mods though (so you won't have trouble with find them later) - say \data\mods\ - you will see that several mods recommend putting the files there.

Compiler/decompiler would be nice for the .act, .chat, .hero, .loc, .lu, .qst files.
Are these tools available somewhere?
Thank you!
