Quick guide

General information

SlimPK2 supports 3 modes to work with a .pk2 file archive:

  • Index - Will create a special index of files, to get access to path variables (Less efficient but easy to use)
  • BlockIndex - Will create an index "as-is" without special classes for files/directories.
  • FreeBrowse - Will not create any index at all. You can now use PK2Archive.GetNavigator() to navigate through the archive. (fastest)

How to

You can initialize a new PK2 archive using the following code:

var PK2 = new PK2Archive("myPath", PK2Config.GetDefault());

Feel free to check out the PK2Config.cs class. This class alows you to provide more parameters such as "key", "mode" and "base key".

Using the navigator

As explained above, the PK2Navigator class (PK2Archive.GetNavigator()) allows you to freely browse the PK2 archive. That means, that only the root block is being loaded at the beginning to grant a default location. You can not access any PK2 index at all! The Navigator class has many functions that allow you to browse through the PK2.

Create new files

Use PK2Entry.Create() to create new items within the PK2.

Delete/rename files

The following example can also be used to delete/rename directories! PK2Archive.GetFile("path").Delete(); PK2Archive.GetDirectory("path").Rename("new name");

Known bugs

I did not test everything. It could be that it's not possible to create items in the root directory at the moment. If you find any other bugs feel free to create a pull request. I don't give you ANY support!
