Hi Gman,

Thanks for the reply and taking time to entertain noobs like me.
Well I am making a 3d game based on our local tv game show using irrlitch and
your bm mod. For the timeframe, I could still wait for some months since asset
protection will be on my project finishing touches.

Lastly since we are using bm, we are cutoff from other contributions
made by good people of irrlitch like abu's extensions. I definitely like
to also be able to play avi in irr. Is there anyway to link on those extensions?

greetings i have thought about this before but not taken the time to implement. there would need to be an IReadFile implemented for BMAX streams. once this happens then any BMAX stream including incbin and zipengine password files would be possible.

if i can manage some time i may take a look into this. what is your timeframe?

Hi Gman,

Can I use your zipengine to something like protecting my art assets by zipping it with a password,
then loading it thru loadscene..

example.

Local fileBuffer:TRamStream = Null
fileBuffer = Null
If (zrObject.OpenZip("data.zip")) Then
fileBuffer = zrObject.ExtractFile("ascene.irr", False, "gman")
zrObject.CloseZip()
End If

'now the problem is how do I load it here
'this will not even compile, of course
scenemgr.loadScene( fileBuffer )

' and if we succeed , how about all the child mesh in the iir file
' that is also inside the zip data
