PACKAGING GAME TEXTURE FILES TO USE WITH IRRLICHT

Irrlicht natively supports .zip files. They do offer compression, but honestly, why wouldn't you want to compress game data?

you also can store files without compression to a zip archive...

I wouldn't want to compress the data because I thought that the compression makes the game slower. Away, I'm searching an script to do this

why would putting all the files into one file prevent them from being deleted? if the user can delete, say, 10 files, they can certainly delete 1 file

do you just want to protect the files from being stolen?

Because I want to avoid errors in the game, and also I wouldn't want that the user copy the game files!

1st: you should not ask the same question more than one time (http://irrlicht.sourceforge.net/phpBB2/ ... hp?t=30039)

2nd: you should use the search function first

but for your question: this is an endless discussion here, if you had a search on the forum you found many threads about protecting recources...

hey man, it's not my problem if you cannot figure it out.

these kinds of questions are silly and should be put to sleep right away.

but there's hope, JP is just around the corner, he'll help ya.
