New addonmaker tool : PBO Patcher released
DPS from Nashe Orujie (Our Weapons) has informed us that a new Addonmaker Tool named PBO Patcher v0.9 beta and made by [HA]Voyager have been released. It will save a LOT of time for them as they’ll not have to recreate a PBO file everytime they modify something!
For more info you can check this BI forums thread.
Why use PBO patcher?
1) PBO Patcher works more reliably and correctly then other utilities
2) High speed of pbo packing/unpacking is much faster then that of similar utilities.
3) PBO Patcher packs pbo without compression, which positively affects performance of OFP.
4) Friendly in use
5) Support of OFP Resistance pbo format
Originally PBO Patcher meant to be used as an alternative to more popular utilities working with files of pbo format. Often, to test their projects, add-on makers have to create several times pbo files from their project’s folders, replace old versions of files in pbo archives with newer versions, add new files to pbo archive and so on.
It is quite tedious process, when it is necessary constantly to extract, compress, rebuild, copy files. This utility has been made for optimisation of such process. For instance, if we want to patch some file, we only need to select the folder with new versions of files, mark the file, which needs to be patched and update, will happen with one mouse click.
However gradually the PBO Patcher turned from ordinary pbo patcher into quite useful PBO Manager, and this is why we decided to release it to the public.
