PZ .pack file manager

[cdaragorn]

I've built a tool to easily unpack and manage all the textures in Zomboid's .pack files.

 

First, I am fully aware of Minic90's program for doing this, and have tried it out. I built my own in part because I really enjoy making small tools like this and in part because I found his had some problems I really wanted to fix.

 

This tool has the same basic features his does.

 

Features:

 

1. Unpack - unpack the texture maps into a separate folder.

2. Pack - pack the unpacked texture maps back into a .pack file.

3. Split - split the unpacked texture maps into their individual textures for easier editing.

4. Merge - merge the split textures back into a texture map.

 

It does not support splitting or merging the .dds files found in Character.pack. I don't think I can ever support that because of the extra data a .dds file contains, but I'm open to feedback from anyone that might know of a way.

 

The project is available on GitHub: https://github.com/cdaragorn/ProjectZomboidPackManager

 

You can download a Windows build here: https://github.com/cdaragorn/ProjectZomboidPackManager/releases

 

The project is built in Qt, so you should be able to build it in any OS you want pretty easily.

 

Please let me know what you think. I'm also interested in any ideas for more features you think would be useful with it. Thanks!
