The code for the Zip Compiler website
- Select a game in the top left
- Either click browse or drag drop zips and files onto the site.

- Profit! (download the compiled zip and extract over the game folders)
This is a pretty rough project to do some fairly basic things so there is bound to be bugs. Please be vocal over on the issue tracker.
I've been playing and tweaking the Creatures games for a very long time, modifying them, Jedi Knight, Doom, and Half Life are a big reason I started programing to begin with. The creatures games themselves I've been on and off with playing them, and everytime the installation process is quite a task. I wanted to simplify it, not only for myself, but also for the amazing community that has been alive and well for a very long time.
It is generally frowned upon repackaging other's work especially in the creatures community, as such it wouldn't be right to make this into a tool that lets you just check off the patches you want. That also means you shouldn't use this to make mega patches beyond personal use. For me, I plan on making mega patches, storing them in the cloud, and using them each time I plan on playing the game again. Just to reduce the time it takes to get up and running. All while still checking Mad's excellent guide to recommended fixes and addons for additions or changes.
