1. OVERVIEW
I know, for uploading hubs/adventures, and the required stuff, you people zip it up. And, if file size is not appropriate, then split it up. Using this way, the installation is very hard. You may forgot any stuff and also, other people will also have installation problems (like where to put content etc etc.). We can't attach all files in other file hosting websites. Anyhow, we have to follow follow with rule (2) of WAE Fair Use Statements.
So for removing this problem, I and Cyndanera have created some tools that can pack your files and also encrypt them.
2. FEATURES
- EASY TO USE: Compiled with BlitzMax, these tools are easy to use. While they accept input from a text file. Text file creation is easier than creating and creating .zip files.
- COMPRESSION: Cyandera added compression support, so no need to worry about filesizes.
- ENCRYPTION: Cydanera also added a nice encryption support to the tools, so any user outside of the forum cannot access it.
- SPLIT ARCHIVES: The feature that can be of your help! If specified, your pack file will be splitted into .zip files of size 781 KB (the size of the last file will usually be short) so it can be attached in the forum. .zip files will have (PAK) in their filenames, as your zip utility will not be able to open them. People will just download them to Downloads Inbox directory (no need to unzip them) and launch my unpacker, then here you go.
- ADDING EXTRA FILES: You can also add external files to the pack, as long as they are in your main editor folder.
- AUTO LAUNCH WG.EXE: If creator has specified to auto-launch the wg.exe file (don't worry, its very very easy), your wg.exe file will start once installation is complete. (and with more sounds )
Here is the download. There is a .7z file inside this archive, use 7-zip to extract it to the main editor folder.
4. FUTURE PLANS
- Will be including adventures list maker that will make the task of making adventure list easier
- Releasing packer that can pack only current directory
