Introducing: UniPack

With university having started again recently I have had less time to dedicate to upgrading and working on the various projects that we offer. However, every now and then I get time to work on something and usually it results in something beneficial.

Lately I have been dedicating most of my free time to getting a .pak reader/writer up and running within Unity. Having struggled to find information about the structure and so forth of a .pak file I eventually came across some resources which helped me with the reader and writer part.

I expanded the code to be able to accept either a folder or a packed file. This makes it easier to develop with, since you won't be needing to repack the folder every time you make a change to a file within it.

I am currently in the final bug squashing and document writing stages of a first release. This can take up to three weeks to be completed but hopefully it will be out the door before then.

Regards,
Garth
