GUI for ronnys sPCK

[Zorno]

While im lazy changing batches all the time i made a simple GUI for ronnys sPCK tool.

Nothing special but helps when playing around with the PCK files :

sPCK-Gui:

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

sPCK-Gui-Source:

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

Well it worked great for me, no problems unpacking, and repacking. Tried my hand at dds editing, not bad for a first try! Can see the results below Thanks again

Spoiler

Nice release!

But some missing functions tt1:

sPCK -xp (Extract PWI CUP Patch and Decode all files)
sPCK -cp (Create XUP Patch for sPatch)
sPCK -ap (Add / Replace Base64 encoded Files)

sPCK -ap (Add / Replace Base64 encoded Files)

i could add them but then i need the exact commandline.
like sPCK -xp <filename> <option> <dunno :>

Never used CUP files so i dunno how this works :

Zorno, just noticed something, there's no option to unpack/pack surface.pck files, thought I'd give you a heads up

Oops : looks like i forgot this one. Here it is WITH surfaces.pck :

Thanks Zorno, redownloading!

Just if someone wants to improve this GUI, here is the source :

Program made with VB.NET 2008 Pro but should work with the free Enterprise also :

Never used CUP files so i dunno how this works :

Example:

sPCK -xp ec_patch_427-430.cup

It will make a new folder "ec_patch_427-430.cup.files" where sPCK will extract all files from the CUP Patch.

Then it will converts all files to be usable in a second folder "ec_patch_427-430.cup.decoded"

Example:

sPCK -xp ec_patch_427-430.cup

It will make a new folder "ec_patch_427-430.cup.files" where sPCK will extract all files from the CUP Patch.

Then it will converts all files to be usable in a second folder "ec_patch_427-430.cup.decoded"

Hmm. Only possible with a filedialog i think because the number after ec_patch_ is not fixed. looks like i need a CUP file for testing then :

 

[Romulan]

But we can remove the number and just let only "ec_patch.cup" : no?

It will be more easier instead of a filedialog unless if you realy want to do it xD

Wanna CUP Patch? tt1:

Example from PWI:

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

For other commands lines of sPCK:

To view the content, you need to sign in or register

...

downloading. The Filedialog is not a big problem. Should be quite easy when i filter for .cup files.

OH! Forget something :scared:

Possibility to select more than one *.PCK in one time? :blush:

Its not that hard to click a radio button and the decompress button : ALso its beter to decompress one by one and watch the process because when you decompress many files, you will not know where it gets stuck when an error occurs.

and pssst.

Here is a version with CUP decompress. I dont want to integrate the compress part of that because i think 99% of the people dont create CUP patches :

If some one wants to do this, grab the source and do it. Its not that hard. All you need to do is call the StartConsolenAnwendung sub with the commandline as parameter like this:

StartConsolenAnwendung(commandline)

Here is the pack:

If that someone happened to me and I wanted to do it, I'd use Java because Visual Basic is laughable :glare:

Either way I'll probably redo it all in Java just so it looks cleaner, it bugs me how unclean it is to me

Its like PW. I do something and when i decide to do it another way i just set the old way dead and leave it there :

Java may be better true. But with VB its done in seconds : Also everyone can handle the source, i could not do this in java :

( i better not comment the laughable part : )

Well... QuickBASIC was really the first programming language I ever got into, so I do have to give it credit for really kind of pushing me into it (I had a really odd fascination that I could make the pc speaker beep and do other noises)

Honestly though, I don't really like Java that much, I only ever learned it (sort of, not that great at it) because of its ability to only have to 'compile' it once (which doesn't even really count because of how insanely easy it is to decompile)

In the end though I'm still more of a web developer and I love PHP with a passion, desktop apps I almost always do in C/Java though as well... doing them in PHP would be silly

I wrote mah first programs on a Commodore C16 in Basic and later on the C64 and C128 but i cant compare that to today :
I mostly use VB.NET because its just simple and fast programming. Also i got this for free. I never touched Java itself, just learned LSL a while ago which is similar to javascript, just for Second Life ingame programming. Maybe i try to learn Java sometime but who will know. First i want to learn actionscript for doing flash stuff and i started learning chinese some days ago.

Solved. I open multiple sPCK-GUI :

Here is a version with CUP decompress. I dont want to integrate the compress part of that because i think 99% of the people dont create CUP patches :

Not a problem for me. I'm using pwpack2008 to compress it.

rbb138, bash and few other developpers use the CUP Patch way...

So it's around 80% for me :mellow:

I should realy learn german
