Thank you for your answer, by the way!

Problem is that I can't "open" it with XCR.exe (which works fine with campaign.xcr, and other xcr files). An "items.xml" is displayed as before, but clicking onto it triggers a "RichEdit error", perhaps because it tries to un-crypt it? Hence I can't export the xml file.

But as it isn't crypted in v.25, and thanksfully to the xcr archive's format, I may access data if I rename "items.xcr" into "items.xml". I get a scrambled first line with "nul" characters and an odd "C:/.../Warlords Batlecry III/...exe" string (that is surely not related to my install, because it's on E:/...). But after this, I read a fine xml file, the same I used to have through the XCR.exe.

So far, modifiying the xml file in a text/xml editor and renaming it back as a xcr file, lead to a game crash. I can't afford to hex-edit those 200 items, as I already translated half of them in v1.03.23... I'll try and clean the first line (to start with a true xml file) and follow your suggestion to create a new xcr archive.
