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"
  • [/color]


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

The guide is here. It is slightly outdated by the new release, but it should be enough to get ya started.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.

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. :)
