If you want to use the par file in Kenzan (or other older PS3 Yakuza games), you must use --alternative-mode flag when creating it, as stated in the "Usage" section of the README.

ParTool doesn't currently handle Kenzan perfectly (which is understandable, it's not a common game to modify). For Kenzan, files in PARs usually need to honour their original compression status. In pj_title_sel_taiken_scenario.par, 0list.csl is originally uncompressed, and the other file is compressed. The original order of files in the PAR often has to be maintained for Kenzan, too.

For now, try the latest release in this branch of PARC Archive Importer, which we use in the translation project.

@aposteriorist thank you ,it's working by using your tool! your are right,i should inject new file instead of create a new par. i tried partool's add command,but not work,maybe i get something wrong.Have a nice day ,bro!
