[no bug]Password Protected Zip Files

Post by dehseth »

fileSystem->addFileArchive function does not work with password protected file. If I create a zip file without password it works, but if I put a password it does not load my .x exports. I am using win-rar to create zip files.

Also .x export file has a texture file in the same folder, but it does not loaded if I use zip file. If I load it from any folder my mesh loaded with it's texture, but if I use a zip file it just won't.

You must use AES encrypted files. Unless there's a very specific error, you should get a message on the console. You can also query the file list from the the archive.

WinZIP ofcourse :)

Tried to compress my folder using winZIP and under encryption I found Normal/AES128/AES256 and felt sooo ashamed :D Now it's working nicely <3

Yeah, the old WinZip encryption has not been implemented. Doesn't really help, as the encryption is easily broken even by cell phone CPUs. The AES encryption is standardized and supported by several tools. I guess I should add some note about this in the API.

Yeah you should put a note, because it causes brain damage of don't knowing that you do zipping wrong/using wrong tool :D
