I’m playing in a car game and was modding a 3d model and textures there (I unpacked pak file). Was wondering how to pack the folder (not just a file) back to pak file. “-create” didn’t work.

You can add a dummy file in the response pak list file or in the command line.  
For example:“F:\your\_project\_path\content\dir\_want\_to\_keep\*._" are what you want to put into the pak file, and also you want keep the “dir\_want\_to\_keep”.  
You can write command like this "your\_unrealPak\_tool\_path F:\your\_project\_path\content\dir\_want\_to\_keep\*._ F:\your\_project\_path\content\dummy.uasset”. In this way, you can make packages’s path start with “dir\_want\_to\_keep” in the pak file.
