Looking at this again, I remind something I thought would be cool: I
have
a game which uses two kinds of packfiles: one for game data, one for
save
game files. I want a password for the game data ones, and I want another
one (actually I would dynamically generate it :)) for save game files.
The
problem is that I load data from the first type when loading saved game
from the second type. And this causes problems because the password
system
is global to all packfiles. I could easily get around it, and that is
what
I did, but I think it would be cleaner to get this done in the lib. If I
recall well, it would just be a matter of adding a password field in the
packfile structure. Maybe some other caveats, though, I did not look far
enough to know.
Any comments ?
