Hi everyone!

I have managed to update my old website and so I have uploaded two of my latest creations.

The second tool is called DevTools::DataPacker.
It is a simple to use data packer utilizing PB's built in packer library.
I use this little tool to pack the data files of my games.

Some features of the software: small size, portability, multi-language support, drag & drop support, pack files separately, archive creation, set compression level

Supported compression methods: Zip, BriefLZ, LZMA, TAR, TAR/Bzip2, TAR/Gzip, 7z

This tool is freeware and can be downloaded from my website.

or you may go directly to its website: http://www.cyberstorm.hu/_en/core/softw ... acker.html

It is available as an installer and as a zip file. There are separate installers for x64 and x86 versions. The zip files contains the x64 as well as the x86 versions as well.


Here is a screenshot:




DevTools::DataPacker v1.2 - 23.07.2022

Hi neuronic,

nice tool and Help viewer too!

I have tryed with my current project : 2342 files/99 folders
LZMA level 9 : 65497
TAR/Bzip2 level 9 : 69951
TAR/Gzip level 9 : 71647
ZIP level 9 : 73911
BRIEFLZ level 9 : 76747
TAR level 9 : 107643

One question :
If a file cannot be compressed, is it added to the archive ?

The ability to give the archive a full name (not only the folder) would be nice.

Hi Denis,

Thanks for trying my software!

One question :
If a file cannot be compressed, is it added to the archive ?

Yes, it is. The program uses PB's internal commands and functions, in this case AddPackFile(), to add the files to the archive. According to PB's help "If the file can't be compressed, it will be stored as is in the packfile."

The ability to give the archive a full name (not only the folder) would be nice.

Nice idea. I have added this to my todo list.

I am also very happy that the help system works.
