http://lion-ts.com/
Protect your content under any 3DGS edition!
CR Pack is the Custom Resource Packer; it enables the creation of game resources, compressing and encrypting them for all the 3D GameStudio A6.4+ users. Please note, CR Pack is not compatible with A7.
- CR Pack is not just an ordinary external executables packer, like many others on the market; it is a native 3D GameStudio plugin. - CR Pack does not decompress the resources into a temporary folder, but decompresses them straight into the engine’s file memory system, avoiding the possible hacks.
CR Pack has these features:
- Offers the possibility to hide the resources for any 3D GameStudio edition.
- Reduces the size of the published game with a typical 40% - 60%.
- Offers full control over the resource files.
- Allows new methods of using the compressed resources; replaceable artwork packages, skinnable user interfaces or hidden resources are just a few of the available possibilities.
CR Pack contains:
- 3D GameStudio plugin which runs with your copy of 3DGS.
- More than 25 functions to work with compressed resources.
- Windows Explorer add-on which allows the integration of the compressed resources into Windows’ shell.
- Powerful compressed resources editor - CRED.
- A big set of demo projects made with 3DGS and CR Pack: games, an image viewer with a slideshow function, a skinnable CD player and so on.
- Detailed documentation.
- tutorial for beginners.
