Data File Package?

BlitzMax Forums/BlitzMax Programming/Data File Package?

Retimer(Posted 2007) [#1]
I have a Blitzmax application that contains around 125 data files, including sounds, graphics, maps, data tables, etc.

I've seen this done many times, where all files are loaded from a single data file, instead of having a couple hundred data files. I probobly don't need a full example (Although it would be nice), but a heads up on how I could achieve this with blitzmax. I need this for a million reasons.

Any tips are extremely appreciated.

Zip them up and use GMan's ZipEngine module to access the files.
