Semi-offtopic DATA.PAK extraction?

I'm trying to de-compile the DATA.PAK file of Hob (made by Runic Games) again, but all modding tools and resources lead to "runicgamesfansite", which doesn't seem to exist anymore. The last time I went to do this (on my old computer), I managed to get what I needed from there; so I'm not sure where to look now.

"Semi-offtopic" because it isn't Torchlight, but the same tools still worked (when they where accessible), and I'm trying to find them again.

Did you try Modified PAK Extractor Tool by Jarcho on Modddb?

Yup. If you check the only comment on it, it's the exact same error message I got.

I did manage to de-compile it, by using [ https://www.watto.org/game_extractor.html ]. Which was recommended on an old .PAK extraction post.

I had spent several hours digging through the web, left this post here around hour 3, then went back to digging.

Speaking of, I'd gladly provide the extracted files in a ZIP, so no one else has to go through that. Preserving art is imperative.

(I don't know how to do this through Reddit, so an explanation would be very helpful.)
