Packing Client Data

by Daniel Harris · in Torque Game Engine · 08/20/2002 (10:11 am) · 3 replies

Looking through the docs, I have not been able to find an answer to this. Is there already a way in torque to extract on the fly a "bundle" of files?

I am looking at a way to have the same thing as WAD files were in Doom/Doom2, where everything for a mission is packed together in 1 file.

Also, is there a way to precompile scripts and have the client read those without having the original script file there? I am currently using the latest Release (not HEAD) off cvs.

    Torque has zip file support.

    For scripts you just need to leave the compiled versions and just (re)move the actual scripts, and that will work. The only file that I know of that is never compiled is the main.cs file that's located in the same directory as the executable file. I do not know if there is a way to enforce a compile on the main.cs file.

    I hope that helps you out.

    Thanks. Is there any docs on the zip file support? I am probably missing it when I look through the docs.
