This is prerelease v0.10 of QuakeFS. This version implements proper
reverse-canonicalisation, so you see a nice hierarchy of directories
and files instead of a single directory full of ghastly pathnames.
Reading of files is now also supported, and is virtually identical in
speed to that of the local filing-system on which the PACK is stored.
You can check out the `sounds' directory for a laugh. :-)
To use it, run !QuakeFS, and set the filetype of your PACK file to
`QuakePAK' (or 0x070). Then double-click on the PACK, and it should open
up. You can now read all files inside the PACK as normal, but you cannot
write to the PACK file yet.
If you want to use the debug version of QuakeFS, run the file `QuakeFSdbg'
inside the !QuakeFS directory, and load !SysLog (by Jon Ribbens). Now press
F12 and enter the command
*SysLog QuakeFS 256
to ensure you see all the nitty gritty logging. If something goes wrong,
post *both* the !SysLog.Logs.Old.QuakeFS *and* the !SysLog.Logs.QuakeFS
files to me (archived, please!) so I can examine them.
Future improvements include:
* auto-filetyping of files based on extension
* writing of files and directories
* auto-compaction
* workspace storage in a dynamic area.
Once this is all working of course, you might even see a beta of our 3D
Quake level editing software...
