Question: Extracting RIFT UI

[sidsixseven]

I'm new to RIFT but not new to writing addons for games. Is there any way to extract the developer's lua files for the official RIFT UI. I would like to make a number of modifications to the auction house and the chat system.

Obviously, it would help to be able to extract the existing files so I could hook into the existing UI properly without having to try and reverse engineer everything.

I've written addons for both WAR & WOW and this was readily available by extracting the files from the data file. I see that RIFT uses a .pak file and was wondering if this was extractable.
