Multiple VPK Support #56

Open RoyAwesome opened 9 years ago

RoyAwesome commented 9 years ago

Worldsmith can only open one VPK at a time. Dota has multiple VPKs that it draws from and worldsmith should be able to open and index all of them

This will allow for more fancy editors, as it will be able to load the flash textures

Maybe we ought to open a "master-vpk" (that we make up) - and have the others be a child to that, for easy navigation in the project view.

SinZ163 commented 9 years ago

The two main vpk's inside s2dota really should appear as one in the project view, as they shouldn't really be split up in the first place, (game/dota/pak01 and game/dota_imported/pak01)

AntonAderum commented 9 years ago

Yeah. Can we find dota_english.txt in any of them? so we can replace the default heores "key" to their proper name? In the object browser that is.

SinZ163 commented 9 years ago

dota_english isn't in a vpk, its located at game/dota_imported/resource/dota_english.txt

RoyAwesome commented 9 years ago

Does that mean we need to index the dota filesystem too?

It might be worth writing a 'Dota Filesystem' that can load multiple VPKs and read from the disk, placing everything in the Dota 2 folder in the Project view.

RoyAwesome commented 9 years ago

It might be worth moving the VPK reading stuff out of DotaData and creating a VPK Service to handle the VPK operations

SinZ163 commented 9 years ago

Abstracting out the file system might be a good option, so we can simulate how the source(2) engine accesses files might be a good idea. Maybe with an option to force exclude addon though.
