In another thread it was suggested that a script was needed to repack and fix pk3's which are broken (http://forums.alientrap.local/viewtopic.php?p=22241#22241). This thread is intended as an attempt to put this into practice. If you have any suggestions, code or otherwise, just reply and I can edit them into this script here.

Currently all this does is extract and recompress a map, all the other functions need to be stuck in the middle.

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

# usage [scriptname] [file]

if test -f $1       # test that file exists
   then echo $1 found      # confirmation of file existence
else
   echo no file to optimise, exiting nicely.   # warn that file doesn't exist and exit
   exit
fi

unzip -oq $1 -d repack_$1   # Extract the file
echo $1 extracted to repack_$1

# Compress
cd repack_$1/

7za a -tzip -mfb258 -mpass15 ../$1

# Clear up the junk
rm -rf *
cd ../
rmdir repack_$1/
