Member since: 2005-03-16 Posts: 93 | After saving a file with compression, I receive the error "Error Trying to Open a Packed Filter" when reopening that file in SimPE. Any ideas? | |

Member since: 2005-03-16 Posts: 93 | In this particular instance, I did not receive any errors during the save (just on load), although I have gotten similar Index Out of Bounds errors when saving certain TXTR files in the past. I am running a CVS developer version. Did the compression routines change recently? Here's the error: ------------------------ Message: Error while processing a Packed File Filter.

How is it different from a sims2pack file (aside from the obvious fact you can compress it). | |

Member since: 2006-04-28 Posts: 3154 | That format was supposed to be a community Version of sims2pack, with enhanced Features (like compression). But it was discared at some Point. The compression was not changed for a while. | |

Member since: 2005-03-16 Posts: 93 | That's unfortunate. I have 14.1 megs of package files over 6 files. Bundling them together would have been really convenient. Too bad the standard was abandoned. Compression is killing me though. The only thing I've successfully been able to compress are clothing TXTR files :( I have a 5 meg behavior file that I know will compress down to almost nothing - but alas, SimPE blows chunks on it w/ the above error. | |

Member since: 2006-04-28 Posts: 3154 | You could try if disabeling "Extra->Display Filenames" helps. Maybe it is not the compression, but the speed decompression used when decoding ResourceNames. | |

Maybe it is not the compression, but the speed decompression used when decoding ResourceNames. Ah. That's it! That did the trick. So what's going on with the speed decompression and why does it conflict with Display Filenames? EDIT: I spoke to soon. Unchecking that allows me to get a table listing of all the files, but now when I select an individual behavior I get the following: --------------------------- Message: Error while loading a Packed File.
