More detailed operation statistics.
Discard VPK directory files who's header doesn't match engine requirements.
Separated manifest properly between language and context (you can now package for each language and context from a single workspace).
Cast to proper types.
Set the archive offset only instead of the entire block. The entry could still have its own flags. The only thing needed for saving data is sharing the same offset and size.
Access checksum objects directly vs pointer reference. Structure size equals a 64 bit pointer (fits into a single register).
Allocated memory was never deallocated (my mistake).
Fixed bug where the compressed buffer size equals the source buffer size getting packed into the VPK chunk. In all occurrences this resulted in corrupted data upon export.
The reason for data being corrupt upon export is because the engine checks the equality of the compressed and decompressed size fields in the directory file, if they are equal, the engine doesn't attempt to decompress the block. So we end up with a still compressed block on the disk (technically not corrupt in the context of the compression lib, but useless as-is on the disk).
If a compressed file doesn't get lower in size we are better out storing it rather than compressing it.
Added a new condition in lzham::lzham_lib_compress_memory which checks source and destination buffer size equality.
Initial proper implementation pending cleanup.
The new system builds a manifest file when a VPK is unpacked. The manifest files contains data such as the entry flags and texture flags. It also contains a field determining whether the file should be compressed or not.
When a user repacks a pack, the system attempts to load this manifest file and does a lookup to the object to retrieve the flags (most of these flags are unknown, but they are used by the engine and are necessary for stuff like cubemaps and texture files to work correctly. Cubemaps won't work with proper flags, and textures (decals, particle system components, etc..) will look washed out without them.
I think some also determine whether a file within the VPK should be cached or not, so simply marking everything as 0x101 will probably end up in more CPU time and higher filesystem cache usage (depot/ is only 0x1, I don't think anything there is getting cached ever without the 0x100 flag).
User could also repack a VPK while excluding anything that is not in the manifest file. So you could unpack all VPK's into a single directory (each VPK has its own manifest file tied to its level name), and rebuild all the VPK's with only the files that where originally in them.
fs_pack_vpk command usage: <locale> <context> <level_name> <manifest_only>
locale determines the pak language (default english), context determines whether is a server/client vpk, level_name determines the BSP name of the pak, manifest_only determines whether the pack system should only include files within the manifest (leaving this arg out will build all files into the vpk).
The VPK workspace path is determined with ConVar 'fs_packedstore_workspace'.
VPK's could now be repacked with compression and multiple files. The output is identical to the input as far as currently tested (mp_rr_canyonlands_staging).
GetFileName returned null string if file is not within a path, now returns the input file name.
RemoveFileName returned file name if file is not within a path, now returns null string.
Added StringReplaceC (string replace with copy instead of modifying the reference object).
running "script_client" from main menu would cause an access violation when attempting to access m_hVM from the CSquirrelVM instance for the client vm, which has not been created by this point
The 'fs_pack_vpk' allows compressing specific files into a VPK (compressed). This implementation has better compression ratio's then currently available VPK tools with compression (at the cost of speed).
The implementation is early, a directory iterator with a files for flags is planned soon to fully rebuild VPK's on-demand. A dedicated standalone program is also planned.
The output dir and archive formats should match 1:1 with the original game
The crash only happened when the game executable had the ASLR flag set, because only then the pointer value overflowed the int32 type due to my bad cast
