Simple Packer/Unpacker GUI

[tommah]

Hey all,

Worked on a simple GUI for Gibbed and Kane's tools in an effort to be more user friendly/easier for newcomers.

Included is everything you need to Pack and Unpack Big files, Bin Files, and Txt files. Just extract and test it out. I was initially looking for a quicker way to pack a txt file into a bin file with just a click then open the game to test without needing a few windows open, but then it just grew. Its great for quick and easy unpacking, editing, and packing without evening needing the DR directories open.

I only tested it with DR3 but it was able to pack and unpack big/bin files and pack folders into .big files. but I'm the only one who has tried it and it wasn't for DR2 or OTR cause I don't have those installed anymore.

Let me know what you think. It also have a backup file feature that I may or may not develop more.

*Update v1.2*

SPOILER: Click to show

-Changed "unpack" to "open" and added support for opening txt files for editing.
-Fixed bug that didn't kill process when gui closed.
-Added Taskbar support.

*I in no way take credit for the actual tools, they were made by much sexier men*

Allright, there is something i don't understand.
When i pack the *_big folder the program seems to crash, but it doesn't
After that the program says "*_big Packed successfully".
But the *.big file isn't anywhere, what should i do?

my guess is it is either still packing the Big file, as I just threw in checks to make sure it was the right file type, or it was actually packed. Depending on the Big file you are working with determines the amount of time needed to pack. This is just a tool gui for the tools (that are included) so any additional error that the tools provide are not included with the gui.
