This is not possible: the engine can locate each individual files inside pk4/zip and load it independently. But if you put pk4 inside pk4, then it is no longer possible. The only way to load anything inside pk4 is to completely unpack the whole nested archive. So either it is unpacked by mapper, or whole mission is repacked on player's machine every time he starts mission. If such asset packs are popular and each is a separate bunch of files, then maybe it's time to use strict naming conventions. For instance, prefix all files with "apvolta_" to show that this is Volta asset pack. |

Another option is to store each asset pack separately in the mission archive. For instance, you send 3 pk4 files instead of 1, then e.g. nbohr1more unpacks each of them and puts each in a separate "xyz.pk4_dir" directory. The script on TDM server merges all the files in single directory and packs into single pk4. I don't think this is very good idea, because if there are any name collisions, then released pk4 will work differently from your local version. And if you use good naming conventions, then separating asset packs is not a problem anyway. |
