Title: Improved borpak utility
Post by: Plombo on October 12, 2009, 06:39:50 pm: Borpak, in the Downloads section, has the potential to be a good utility, a replacement for both packer and paxplode. But a strange bug prevents the packfile-building half from working under Windows, and an unrelated bug prevents the PAK builder from working under Linux >:(

To make this version, I modified the sources to fix both bugs. Also, the extractor part now extracts files with lowercase filenames so that your filenames aren't yelling at you :laughing:

Also included are batch files, paxplode.bat and packer.bat, that provide interfaces to borpak for an easy transition to my program from the mainstream programs.

Comments, feedback, etc. are welcome.

EDIT: Fixed a semantic error.
EDIT 2: Revamped entire post for clarity.

Sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant that the "borpak" utility didn't work. Paxplode and packer work fine, but borpak is supposed to replace both of them. In other versions of borpak, the "paxplode" half works but the "packer" half doesn't.

Post by: Plombo on November 17, 2009, 08:55:13 pm: Revamped the first post.

Also, is there any way that this can get into LavaLit's downloads section? The original borpak is there, and I don't want anyone else to have to figure out the hard way that only half of it works.

Could you clarify what you mean by "upload it here"? It's already attached to my first post; do I need to do something else before notifying a moderator?

EDIT: Never mind, I just noticed the "upload file" button on my status panel.

Thanks! I'm glad you appreciate my work.

Technically it's a Windows-based command line app, not a DOS one, but I know what you actually mean. I might make a GUI frontend to the command line program if I get around to it.

Post by: DJGameFreakTheIguana on March 26, 2010, 09:31:34 pm: Hey, how do you work this thing anyway? I have a data folder open, but none of the batch files do anything? BTW, I have the one from the download section.

It's included in the Neo Edit Pack (http://lavalit.com:8080/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item317); the easiest way is to use makepack.bat in it, which now acts as a frontend for this program. (Makepack.bat in the old edit pack had a similar function, but used the now-obsolete "packer" utility as its backend.) The version here is mostly for people like me who use the interactive command prompt on a regular basis.

Post by: Mrgrill247 on July 01, 2010, 03:20:49 pm: When I double click on "paxplode", it open and close quickly on my os of Windows 7 Home edition. What am I doing wrong?
Title: Re: Improved borpak utility
Post by: Plombo on July 01, 2010, 03:22:57 pm: Drag the PAK file onto it. If you double-click it, it won't know what it's supposed to extract.

Post by: Mrgrill247 on July 01, 2010, 04:22:25 pm: Thanks. This is really an improvement over the old version.

Now what will I use to make a side-scrolling beat-em-up of my own?
