Levelpackers?
Does anyone know a good levelpacker that loads from disk and unpacks on the fly in a single complete application. (packer, loadersource etc.)
Native c64 or cross-platform, either is ok.
Sorry to start a new topic on this. It's just that I'm too lazy/incompetent to build my own loader-exomizer/pucrunch combo in a reasonable amount of time...
btw.
Speaking of loaders. Does anyone have the dreamload source with example d64's?
And/or some docs in, like, sesamestreet style for Krill's loader. :) |

uload3 by magervalp does all that in combination with exomizer's exoraw |

Thanks for the swift reaction! Checking it out...
In a somewhat unsettling moment of clearmindedness I did some thorough searching through the CSDB and found levelcrusher by MMS/Taboo. Extremely simple, extremely short and effective enough for my purposes.
However. It uses the kernal load-routines. (slow!)
So, if Uload turns out to be too heavy I can use that one.
But thanks anyway because I'm sure there is a lot more loading to do in the future... :) |

You can use Krills loadersystem to load levelcrushed files. If it feels complicated you can play around with an earlier version first. |

When using uload3 (very cool solution BTW) with recent exomizer just change scripts to execute exomizer instead of exoraw. Exoraw is not a standalone binary since last few releases. Instead use exomizer raw command. |

Checking all your tips out, people. Thanks...
@hollowman
Always good to know that some GOOD coder did the work for you before you start it yourself... :) |

Weird. The exo2beta7 Makefile (which I use to install on Mac OS X) still builds exoraw, but there are no precompiled binaries. |

data in -> exoraw -> raw exomized stream out. No header, no load address handling, no packing backwards, etc - just raw compression. It's the same as running exomizer in raw mode. Rarely optimal, but if all you're doing is read a stream, it's the simplest.
