[For Devs] PK2 Writer .NET

[lemoniscool]

This is not a ready-to-use program this release is intended for devolopers

Hi!

Ive been working on a way to implement the PK2API functions for importing into PK2's made by Drew Benton (pushedx) into C# and/or VB.net programs and finally i managed to do so! Below you will find a dll that includes those functions and a Class for VB.net or C# you can use in your projects.

Credeits:
- PK2Writer API: Drew Benton (pushedx)
- API Conversion to DLL: LemoniscooL
- VB.Net / C# Class: LemoniscooL

Features:
- Open PK2 files with any blowfish key
- Import files to the pk2

Known bugs:
- none

Available Functions:

- Initialize
Sets up GfxFileManager.DLL for PK2 operations. This function must be called first.

- Deinitialize
Cleans up GfxFileManager.DLL. This function must be called before the program exits and after Close if a PK2 file was opened.

- Open
Opens a PK2 file for writing. Use:
"169841" - For official sro, mysro
"\x32\x30\x30\x39\xC4\xEA" - for zszc, swsro

- Close
Closes an opened PK2 file. This function must be called before the program exits and before Deinitialize is called.

- ImportFile
Imports a file to the PK2.
'entryFilename' should be the full path the file should have in the PK2 (including filename).

Example:
Please note: in C# you have to escape the backslashes (that means use \\ instead of \)

PK2Writer.Initialize("D:\Silkroad\GFXFileManager.dll")
PK2Writer.Open("D:\Silkroad\Media.pk2", "169841", 6)

PK2Writer.ImportFile("\sv.t", "D:\Silkroad\Patch\sv.t")

PK2Writer.Close()
PK2Writer.Deinitialize()

Downloads:
PK2Writer.dll & Classes: PK2Writer.rar

in case you mean overwriting files inside a pk2 then the answere is yes it can
it can both import files that do not exist already inside the pk2 and also overwrite the file inside the pk2 if it exists already
