[BETA] Pack-O-Daemon! A helper for your Doom's directory pk3 mod.
Posted: Tue Sep 12, 2023 2:04 am

It's a small tool that helps you to pack your directory based doom project in a single zip.
It makes your life easier with the structure of your files, and best of all, in a nice looking GUI.
Literally just clicks away before playing your project.
What it does?
- Zippes directories containing doom data into pk3 packages.
- Versionifies the packages inmediatly.
- Zippes all the created pk3 files for your project in one single zip file.
- It can skip the zipping process for some of the project parts, for faster builds.
- If the project part contains acs library files, this program will compile them all before zipping.
- Runs your project, with the given settings and outputs the game result once you close the game.
- Also logs the progress made on the build process if you need to check for errors. (Such as ACS Compilation errors.)
- New string replacer system!, now add dynamic data after each versioning!
- For the people who likes to work in their local directory using the file explorer.
- Allows you to use third party programs directly. (Audacity, Photoshop, Notepad++, Sublime Text, you name it)
- Smack some git repository in there to save your progress in your project.
- You like Slade, but you're kind of alergic to the text editor, or, yo find tedious to re-compile every acs file, everytime you make a change.
Get the pack-o-daemon.exe, and place it on your root folder. (where the doom project resides)
The directory structure should be somethin' like this:
/my-doom-project
-- pack-o-daemon.exe
-- /src
----- whatever-files-you-got.txt
- Run it, that will create the project.json file where you can change the settings for the pack-o-demon.
- Open pack-o-daemon.exe again, and everything should be set for the typical use.
- If you change something from the project.ini file, and you have the executable running, restart it.
