Only difference is that mine actually groups files based on what it found in the file name. Also, if I add new/modified files to the right folder and the client was already converted to new format, running the program again will put it into the proper .res file (new or overwriting the old).
For example, I've got files with names like mvr_chr.res, part_o3d.res, item_o3d.res, etc. Keeps it organized better and you don't have to guess what's in each one.
Along with my custom format, also made a custom merge for myself that is the same as the old (even reads resource.txt), but uses my new format.
