| Hi all, I'd like to be able to bundle all media in a .pak file (or something similar) or embed the media in the actual EXE ala BlitzMax. Does anyone have any experience with this, could it be possible with a GLFW project? Ta! -Chris |

| Does anyone have the know how to easily implement something like this? http://icculus.org/physfs/ I'm not interested in encryption or anything, just being able to bundle the data directory into a zip file and potentially allow users to specify alternative zip files should they want, via the command line. In a directory I have... n2.exe n2.zip alt.zip c:\directory\n2.exe will load resources from n2.zip c:\directory\n2.exe --data-file=alt.zip will load resources from alt.zip |

| Thanks Adam, from what I understand having messed around with it ages ago, UPX just compresses a file, i didn't think it could used to bundle files together? Is there any particular reason why you'd go with libtar over anything else? |
