About using zip files?
by KevinYuen · in Torque 2D Beginner · 04/08/2013 (1:42 am) · 2 replies
I try to compressed whole "modules" folder into zip file, but failed. :(
the code:
ModuleDatabase.scanModules( "modules" );
{
....
Platform::dumpDirectories( pathBuffer, directories, rootOnly ? 1 : -1 )
....
}
dumpDirectories use FindFirstFileA directly. Does that mean the "modules" folder must out of zip file?
what should I do? thank you :)

As an example. you can easily zip up script files, png files, audio files, etc.
However, you cannot place .taml files in a zip file.
This makes modules and assets (asset.taml) files incredibly tricky to use.
There is a way to implement this but it will require some source code modifications on a scale that is hard to predict.
I will keep this post updated as I investigate the situation when I have the time to do so.
Sorry about the delayed response, Kevin!
