zipping resources HELP

[austech360]

I need help with zipping resources. I am the scripter of an RP server. and as you may know, in roleplay servers. there are MILLIONS of files. and hundreds of resources. How do I zip the contents of the folders. without having the path.

So.

zip.zip

contents of resource

instead, what I get is.

zip.zip

folder

contents of resource.

Anyone know how to do this on windows or linux?

Enter your folder, select all files, use Add to file..., then select the option ZIP, and press OK.

(This only applies if you have WinRAR)

Or...

Windows should be able to zip files by itself: select all the files/folders IN your resource folder, right click > Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder

...do what what Aibo said

I cant just do something like zip -R */* or something?

It will zip the files that you don't want to zip. For instance, you may have images in a folder with photoshop document which you don't have to zip, it will just make the .zip larger.

Currently, I'm working on that feature in MTASE but I can't say when it'll come out since I want to fix as many bugs as possible before I release it. So, I don't want to suggest to wait for the new MTASE release.

well, dont keep unrelated/unneeded files in resource folder.

Well, .psd files are better to be kept in the same folder as the images created from them for easy access. This is what I usually do. I might actually make a little tool to .zip the resources before I release the new MTASE.

EDIT:

I created a little tool for zipping resources. Here it is: viewtopic.php?f=108&t=37236

I hope it works (because it works for me) and it is what you're after. Enjoy
