Slumped can't read ZDoom.pk3's files

[Gez]

Something I noticed recently. It's very odd. It lists the lumps correctly, identifies them correctly, displays their size correctly... But doesn't display them in the preview window at all. It doesn't do that for gzdoom.pk3, which isn't that old (equivalent to r1523).

I think I've found the explanation when trying to extract the content with WinRAR (it's the old 3.51 version that was available as a freebie some time ago):

Code: Select all

!   zdoom.pk3: Unknown method in actors\actor.txt
!   zdoom.pk3: Unknown method in actors\doom\doomdecorations.txt
!   zdoom.pk3: Unknown method in graphics\bfglite2.png
!   zdoom.pk3: Unknown method in mapinfo\chex.txt
!   zdoom.pk3: Unknown method in mapinfo\doom1.txt
!   zdoom.pk3: Unknown method in mapinfo\doom2.txt

Slumped (and WinRAR, but who cares about that one) probably uses an obsolete version of the zip library which doesn't contain whatever method is used to compress these files. Does anybody have an idea how to update it?

[Kinsie]

The newest builds of ZDoom/GZDoom use a more recent compression method. I use 7zip to look up stuff in the PK3.

This change was already reverted in the most recent versions for precisely this reason.

Concerning WinRAR, I have to say only one thing: Dump it! There's far better and more compatible alternatives out there that properly support LZMA compression in Zips.

[Gez]

Oh, I have 7-zip as well. And Uni-Extract. But they wouldn't have let me diagnose why Slumped doesn't work anymore, would they?

And it was reverted? It still does it to my own build of r1551.
