Can't load a file from a package

[SpiderPig]

Can't get this to work.  Am I doing something wrong or is it a bug?  I'm sure it worked like this in the past.  The font can't be found in the package.

#include "Engine.h"
using namespace UltraEngine;


int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    auto package = LoadPackage("Data.zip");
    if (package == nullptr) { Notify("No Package Found"); }

    auto font = LoadFont("Fonts\\ZippedArial.ttf");
    Notify("No Font Found");

    return 0;
}

Data.zip

Also application seems to crash if package has same file as in usual folder which nakes harder to test game distribution with packing flies

It's a bug.

I am not sure right now if ZIP should even be used, or if ziplib should be swapped for libzip...

[Josh]

I think I am going to rewrite this using this lib:
https://github.com/zlib-ng/minizip-ng

[SpiderPig]

While on the topic - will it handle zip files bigger than 4GB?

[Josh]

Yes, that is the only reason.

[Josh]

Both LibZip and minizip-ng have errors when running cmake to create projects for them.

I found a pre-generated project for libzip here:
https://github.com/kiyolee/libzip-win-build

Apparently, this also supports the newer zip encryption system.

[Josh]

I replaced ziplib with libzip  in the next build.

• Packages are now read-only.
• Package file names are now case-insensitive.
• >4 gb files should be supported.
• AES encryption should be supported, although I have not tried it yet.

I just updated the standalone and the code in the 1st post still doesn't work.  It still says "No Font Found"

[Josh]

Standalone has not been updated yet. Are you able to use the Steam version?

[SpiderPig]

Oh okay, I can.  I thought the standalone was always updated first.

[Josh]

It has been usually, but lately it is taking a lot of time to update and the uploads have failed a few times.

[SpiderPig]

Okay.  You might need Elon's StarLink

[Dreikblack]

Still not working after latest update

[Josh]

Ah, I see. Right now you can just add a call to FileType() and it will trigger a rebuild of the archive directory structure. I will have a build up this morning that doesn't require this:

#include "UltraEngine.h"

using namespace UltraEngine;

int main(int argc, const char* argv[])
{
    auto package = LoadPackage("Data.zip");
    if (package == nullptr) { Notify("No Package Found"); }

    package->FileType("");
    auto font = LoadFont("Fonts\\ZippedArial.ttf");
    if (not font) Notify("No Font Found");

    return 0;
}

This is working now.
