File packer

| I need to pack & encrypt some data into an external file. Searching the forums, M Packer seems to be the only free option available (other than using zip, which I'd prefer not use). However, the link to download M Packer no longer works. Does anybody have a copy of it they could either send me (info(at)kudosgames.com) or make available for download? M Packer is free so I'm assuming it is ok to do this. Does anyone know of any other alternatives? |

| Molebox, but its not free. Worth the price, though. |

| BBCruncher? http://home.arcor.de/al90/eng/rechts.htm#cruncher |

| Thanks, but I don't think that one works with Max. I've decided to have a go at doing my own now anyway :-) |
| ||
| Actually... BBCruncher comes with BlitzMax routines(actually, it's the cruncher/decruncher source), so please check before reply. (What you need to do is just remove FlushMem command from source, and it's compatible with current version of BMax). And I use incbin for most resource, please note MPacker isn't updated to the 1.2x version of BMax, so it doesn't work on current version of BMax. |

| Ah, thanks for that - I've had a quick look but the german is making my brain hurt right now ;-) I have done my own basic file packer (no encryption or compression yet though) but one problem I have found is that it doesn't work with LoadImageFont - it seems that LoadImageFont does not like loading from a Stream (possible bug?) - does BBCruuncher suffer from this problem as well? BTW, I'm actually doing this to replace some incbins since I can't use incbin in this instance. |
