Filelists of an added .zip package?

HopeDagger · Post by **HopeDagger** » Fri Aug 05, 2005 12:20 am

After adding a ZIP package via the addZipeFileArchive() function, is there any way to get a listing of the filenames of its contents? The IFileList interface isn't showing them, so I'm curious if this can be done.

Thanks!

I'm a bit surprised that nobody replied -- I thought that doing something like loading in everything in a PAK/ZIP package would be commonplace. :P

If this method doesn't seem to be much known, then what is everybody else using for loading in their resources? Hardcoded lists of files? :/

If you mean putting 6 lines of code for every object in the scene, then yes that's what I do. I dont know how to use the zip package thing.

Ah, I see. That's tedious if you have a lot of objects. :)

Yes I have. That's what I mentioned in my original post.

Anyways, I managed to solve this problem in an alternative way. So thanks in any case for the help. :)

can you please post how you did it so other people can benefit from it?

i might have another solution:
use a file reader to read a list of files to load from a single text file

I would have, but it wouldn't have benefitted anybody else, since the solution was specific to the way that my project works. Sorry. :/
