i used "arc.groups", but in vain , bpk always won't skip them and show errors !thanks!

You have to write every single bik/bk2 file down into arc.groups (remove *.bpk, *.bk2 from arc.groups) except for the two mentionel files.

To do this the fast way, make a batch file in game folder and execute to save all *.bk2 files into a text file

dir /s /b *.bk2 > _List.txt

Copy the contens of the text file to arc.groups $binkpack

PS: If you open the text file, maybe you have to remove driveletter:\gamefolder before (just press ctrl+h in notepad and replace driveletter:\gamefolder with nothing (just leave "replace with" blank)).
PPS: If the game use *.bik files instead of *.bk2, replace *.bk2 with *.bik in your batch.
