XMCC - Small Package Archiver : Final Barrier :P

[Leonheart]

Heya! I'm back with pain....

After some time missing resource, digging material from unknown world to fix my space ship (e.g. no internet funds ). -- This is still my hologram.

I make small packer with cross platform GUI and the reader library.

Like usual the info is here:
 http://xaviorsoft.freebasic.net/fbproduct/

But if you in rush, here the direct download:

Windows :
  - Packer GUI : http://xaviorsoft.freebasic.net/fbproduct/bendrat_win.zip
  - Reader Lib  : http://xaviorsoft.freebasic.net/fbproduct/xmccr_win.zip

Linux :
  - Packer GUI : http://xaviorsoft.freebasic.net/fbproduct/bendrat_linux.tar.gz
  - Reader Lib  : http://xaviorsoft.freebasic.net/fbproduct/xmccr_linux.tar.gz

Beloved DOS
  - Packer GUI : How do I do? Did u have a nice idea? (Yeah, but the makexmcc is not documented yet, its make me inpain).
  - Reader Lib  : http://xaviorsoft.freebasic.net/fbproduct/xmccr_dos.zip

The most good feature is:

  * Can use lower case access and slash path / or \. So its wasn't problem doing filename in mess beetween Linux, Windows and DOS.
  * High mode and complex scramble encryption by password. No pattern can be predicted until now ;P.
  * Support TOC encryption. By doing this file information is encrypted, but data can still in raw. Making fast load, but hacker is hard parse/extract the file data manually. Yeah!! Good for gaming resource.
  * Of course the Archiver GUI making things is easy alot . Whehee...
  * Cross platform. (Who cares).

The minus feature:
   * The compression code is still slow . Because its not fully optimized since thts the only code i can find/port. Btw, the decompression code is significantly optimized and bring fast enough speed to decompress. The slowest decompression I can count may take 3-6MB/sec from compressed size, usually can have until 24MB/sec for common data.

Also, you may like using Armory-BMP too. Its for load bitmap from memory/pointer. Suitable for xmcc archiver. Yay...

This sounds interesting. Downloading.

Cool. I was looking for something like this, as the last similar routine I used in Barren had a memory leak or something. Well, it was rather unreliable.

Anyway, will definitely use this when I get to packing my next game project. Than, on the other hand, might take a while. :/
