| Description | It would be easier for creators if the engine could support pk4dir directories, the way other Quake engines do for their own pk version. Just as you can place a zip file ending in .pk4 for the engine to read its data, you should be able to place a directory ending in .pk4dir for its contents to be loaded the exact same way.
This helps developers working on data mods, for instance by not having to zip their changes from a Git repository for each test. In fact this is also the only way to allow data to be ran and updated directly from a cloned Github / Gitlab repo. I know you can already have the data you work with unpacked in your test FM (eg: darkmod/fms/myfm/def/myent.def) but in this case the mod is mixed with the FM used to test it and has to be manually separated: For any generic mod (content not meant to be map specific) you'd want it to work as either darkmod/mymod.pk4dir/def/myent.def or darkmod/fms/myfm/mymod.pk4dir/def/myent.def depending on case. |
