0000666: Backport support for Loading Directories as PK3s from ZDoom

Notes
(0002564) StrikerMan780 (reporter) 2012-02-03 06:16	I hope the description is enough...

(0002565) Blzut3 (administrator) 2012-02-03 14:42	Torr stopped syncing with the SVN versions of ZDoom when this code was introduced so I doubt this is going to happen before 98e. Just run the directory through 7za (use -mx=0 to prevent wasting time with compression and -x!.svn to remove the .svn directories).

(0002567) Torr Samaho (administrator) 2012-02-04 15:09	Blzut3 is right, that is very unlikely to happen before 98e. Can you elaborate why it is necessary for your project?

(0002569) StrikerMan780 (reporter) 2012-02-05 09:06	It's all a directory with the structure of a PK3, and my project is massive (250mb+), and zipping takes a considerable amount of time, making quick testing impractical. ZDoom as it is, loads directories as PK3s fine.

(0002571) Blzut3 (administrator) 2012-02-05 18:07	Instead of an archive tool, you could also get zipdir from ZDoom (maybe Torr can supply a Windows binary?) which should allow you to just update the files that changed. That said, in my experience, using 7za with no compression (or -mx=1) is fast enough for large projects especially on subsequent runs.

(0002578) StrikerMan780 (reporter) 2012-02-06 06:12	Thanks.

(0002594) Torr Samaho (administrator) 2012-02-12 17:42	Can you report back if this works sufficiently well for you?

(0002596) StrikerMan780 (reporter) 2012-02-12 21:16	I think I have a decent system in place now. Thanks.

(0002597) Torr Samaho (administrator) 2012-02-12 21:18	I'm glad to hear that! I'll close this issue now and will backport the stuff from ZDoom once I resume upgrading Skulltag's ZDoom base.
