Title: New VPMage: 0.8
Post by: WMCoolmon on December 19, 2004, 03:13:37 am

While writing the VPMage guide, I realized there were a number of bugs that could easily be fixed. Thus I present VPMage 0.8.

Features (All new ones since version 0.? in red):

• Wickedly optimized building routines
• Ability to extract, edit, update, and delete files
• Ability to easily merge VPs
• Directories with fs2_open compatible structure can be easily added.

• Numerous bugs corrected
• Extraction of directories now supported
• Adding files works correctly (Filelist preview didn't update)
• Adding files sequence has been improved (Files are automatically added to the currently selected folder)
• Directories can now be directly added from the interface
• A VP can be loaded using command-line arguments, eg 'VPMage.exe "root_fs2.vp"'
• When browsing for VP filles, files are added automatically when you click "Open"

If the list is minorly confusing it's cause it's 1 AM here. :p

The guide is here (http://dynamic4.gamespy.com/~freespace/fsdoc/index.php?pagename=UsingVPMage). It is slightly outdated by the new release, but it should be enough to get ya started. :)

Can we multi select files to delete at all? That's very tedious doing it one at a time to eliminate all the animated glowmaps from the ZPack.

Is this the VP builder?

Sorry, nope. Microsoft doesn't seem to have added multiselect functionality to the default Tree view control. I'm looking for a way to do it, but haven't found anything yet.

You should still be able to select directories and delete them, but that won't work for the glowmaps unfortunately... :doubt:

The only solution might be to switch over to MFC (No.) or wxWidgets (Which I haven't been able to get an app working in yet.)

Otherwise, I'll have to switch to a system like VPView, with folders on the left and files on the right - not too hard but I'll have to redesign the interface.


And yes this is the VP Builder. :)
