Are there any good free algorithms for making one big file for all your files (like ID''s .pak format)?

I found a very easy to use library for compressing data..it''s fast, and free.

you would have to write your own file handling code, but I think the hardest part (compression) is done for you...

G''day!

There are a number of libraries that will let you use zip files like that. And zip files are very easy to maintain.

zlib is one, a search on Google would probably turn up a few others.

pk3 files are just renamed zip files. i added support for them yesterday using zziplib, and the process was very easy.
