Beta Zip Loading #180
Beta Zip Loading #180
Conversation
Manifest can now load zip files. AssetPackLoader saves each file in the zip as a blob and loads normally. - only tested so far with png, jpeg, mp3, ogg, fnt, and xml so far - only works if blob is supported

Cool, will this work on a Flash target too? |
|
Nope, but that's an easy change! I'll commit one with Flash support tomorrow. |
Added flash support. FlashAssetPackLoader loads the zip file using a URLLoader. Each file in the zip is loaded in the same way as a regular file except it uses bytes instead of a URLRequest - tested with png, jpg, mp3, xml, and fnt
Added tar loading to flash and html5. Works similar to zip loading except it uses format.tar.Reader - note: I'm not sure why loading a tar entry in HtmlAssetPackLoader doesn't work as an inline function

@aduros Any thoughts on whether this should be merged in or not? |
|
This is a little under-tested. I'd call it "Beta" quality level. It works in our limited tests, but we never pushed it to 100% because for our target devices it didn't wind up improving load times (unpacking took longer than downloading). It's an open question if that's preferable to having no ZIP/TAR support. |

Yeah, Keith and I talked about this offline when he was working on it. Since it didn't show a improvement, I'd rather avoid the maintenance cost of merging it. It's possible that it could be optimized and retested later, but I don't think anyone's looking at it for now. |
