The 3dgsPurePacker release v1.00 of 12/22/2006 is ready for a free download from the homepage www.projekt-3d.de of my friend KMS.

The 3dgsPurePacker.zip (approx. 138 kb) contains 3 files:
- 3dgsPurePacker.exe
- 3dgsPurePacker_English.chm
- 3dgsPurePacker_German.chm

You'll find it in section Downloads - Tools
(therefore the old link to the beta-version above doesn't work anymore).

Unpack the 3 files in an empty directory (e.g. C:\3dgsPurePacker).
The 3dgsPurePacker.exe can be started directly and needn't to be installed.
In Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg it starts in German, for the rest in English.

Example: Packing Testlevel
After selection of the game start file the program will pack the game directory and its subdirectories in a single exe file (e.g. Testlevel.exe)



Example: Unpacking Testlevel
When starting this packed self-extracting Testlevel.exe, a subdirectory with the name Testlevel will be created under C:\Windows\Temp, the game files will be unpacked into this and the game will be started.
During unpacking a user info will be displayed.



The unpacked game is not encoded.
Per default the temporary directory Testlevel will be removed again after the end of the game.

For further information take a look in the chm help file by pressing F1 or open it with the Windows Explorer and print it out.

I hope I've written a useful tool to pack game files.
Let me hear your opinion.

I wish all members of the Conitec forum a Merry Christmas.

Hey...thanks Tracker! I appreciate very much that you finished it to this final release with the manual...though it was already great und simple to use in beta state

I wish you a merry christmas too

hello,

would it be possible for your 3dgsPurePacker to execute lnk and bat files as well? would be awesome! i need it to execute a bat file, because i want to start different files in a specific order.

Nice tool. I like it. Especially since Nacasi cant be used anymore.

@broozar
Unfortunately, my 3dgsPurePacker supports only EXE files and no BAT or LNK files.
But perhaps I could extend it by a parameter line in the 3dgsPurePacker.exe.
I mean a empty text field, into this one could write some parameters with blanks separate.
This parameter line could be wrapped up and submitted to the EXE file at the start.

However, I don't know whether and when I manage to revise my 3dgsPurePacker.
I am just writing a novel named Project 257 which shall serve as a basis for my own game.

@Damocles
This was the reason why I wrote my 3dgsPurePacker for my friend KMS.

hm, thanks for your answer. don't worry. i'll find a way for my files, there's no need to disassemblem the project again. i'd need some other features as well, like unpacking into another folder than the temp one, and hiding files, which your toll wasn't made for. thanks anyways.
