Hey everyone,


Its been a long time since I have posted anything on this forum, but yeah, just was wondering idea or possible concepts to streaming data (models, textures, etc) into GDK for the purpose of being able to stuff your media in a .pak file or related and loading them at runtime without having to extract a file to disk then load it and delete it

There's a free source code that works with passworded rar file. unrar... Works the same as pak files plus stops people prying into them due to the password protection. Handy for storing and compressing images, models, etc... Works only with winrar 2.90 and below though.

Another way around this is to create memblocks out of all your object, images, audio and save them into one file. That way you can extract the data directly into a memblock and work with it from there.



All wrapped up into one file. If you also write the size or position of each memblock then you can randomly access each memblock individually when needed.
