how to compress file? (zlib compression) [FTS 15]

FTS 15 uses zlib compression for data. I decompressed that, edited and I have to compress it back. How to do this?

Ok it's just compressed without any format or additional field so you can compress it with packzip or with the following script:

Code: Select all

comtype zlib_compress
get SIZE asize
get NAME filename
string NAME + ".compressed"
clog NAME 0 SIZE SIZE

I dragged edited file on packzip.exe and nothings happens. What I am doing wrong?

packzip must be used from command-line because it needs two arguments: input and output file.
Output file must not exist or it will be overwritten instead of being recreated.

I suggest to use the script.
