Works for me thanks Does it matter if you have compressed textures and compress them again with this packer?

it's the lossless compression algorithm which also gets used for normal zip files. i think dds compression isn't very efficient (it was made to be cheap to process) so it even can make them a bit smaller in many cases.

so, is there any way to use lower compression ratio(or no compression, just packing)?(to make it unpack faster?)

yes, there is an alternative version of the compress function in the zlib dll which also allows to set the compression level. the standard one seems to be a good compromise between speed and compression though. is it too slow for you?

if you don't want compression you don't have to use the zlib dll at all.

ok, thanks i got it.

its

int compress2(byte *dest, long *destlen, const byte *source, long sourcelen, int level);

(same uncompression method used.)

level: must be between 0-9 or -1 (it returns -2 , if something other than 1-9 or -1 entered)

1 low compression-high speed , 9 high comp.-low speed, 0 no compression(just store), -1 default

i think the level -1 is same as the normal compress method that ventilator used.



Thank you for thar super simple packer.

Another question. Are you just using the dll. I mean this dll isn't compiled with GameStudio plugin-sdk, but can call and use functions directly from Litec? Didn't realize it was possible although I think I saw the same with Newton?

yes, it's the official zlib dll. c-dlls can be used directly in lite-c.

Thank You

Why bumping an old thread??
NOTE FOR EVERYONE ELSE: This thread is 2 years old and outdated.

And BTW, turkkanka, you already have the Pro edition, so you don't need this.

well thanks for the bump because i needed this, lets hope it still works
