Indexed Packed file
Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2006 3:28 am
This zip holds some source code for an indexed packed file include.
I have no idea of whether this is going to be useful to anyone, and to be honest I have no idea of how well it performs. I found it as a 3.94 "unfinished business" whilst sorting out code I will be transfering or licencing to my new company. I converted it to 4 and made some very brief tests, which appeared to work.
However it is very alpha-ish and I am not intending to develop it further or support it.
The code allows the creation of a file containing packed data files. These data files can be extracted by index or by a lookup code (that is, there is no need for a NextPackFile approach).
The code may be useful for people wishing to store graphics, multimedia, etc for an app, but not load the lot at one time, or step through the pack list.
Hope it is useful to someone.
