Well, I know the zip files are treated like a directory but i'm trying to have everything in a zip files and has to go through zip file to be read. i'm try something to stop hackers and such(like stop them from changing the game. like in Mohaa and bf1942.) where they have wall hacks to see through walls. I want to make it so that they have to be in a zip file to take the size sequence of the bit arangment(like tell me the bit for every other 5KB) so if any one tried to tamper with it an error would come up. I guess I might be going a little far.... I just don't like hearing people are cheating and complaining over and over..

Or you can pasword a zipfile and let Torque open it using the password.

Why not just use MD5 checksums if you want to be paranoid about tampering?

Except that you'd have to store the password somewhere and then it could be used to open the zip file.Why not just use MD5 checksums if you want to be paranoid about tampering?

So, things would work the same way they do in directories.
