Is it possible to use archives to organize large number of game files, what i want is to access files stored in the archive file and use them in the game, but i am not sure this can be done. I saw the rar plugin but i doesn't think this will help me, did someone tried this, is there an easy way to do this?

Currently, there's only one that I can remember the name of: Smart Packer Pro

I'm fairly sure that there was another one at one point thuogh.

I've used the RAR plugin to extract game content to a temp folder on loading, then delete it. It works fine for me except when loading animations. (video files can't be deleted when the program's running, so I switched to animated GIF files and all's good.)
