I''m in need of an INI compressor...

The general place to discuss MOD''ing Freelancer!

I''m in need of an INI compressor...

because freelancer doesnt seem to be able to handle the size of the decompressed mbases.ini, which equals ~1,5MB.
either that or BINI is erroneous.

because if i decompress the file and replace the original with the decompressed one - even if do not edit anything at all!! - i get the message "you have to be friendlier with the faction" when i try to access the job board.

seeing that the compressed file got about 600k, im simply guessing that a compressor could help here.

or is there any way in exchanging specific text in the INIs just like FLMM does (which obviously doesnt work with compressed INIs)?

or to outhouse specific passages of an INI and write it into another?
(i read somewhere that you can add a line in an INI file which loads another INI or something like that...)

but i think the easiest way would be a compressor...

I would love to have an ini compressor too, the loading screen between systems seems to stay way longer in my modded installation than in my unmodded.
I wish I could do it, but my programming skills are to low level yet

i wrote to HCl, perhaps he could write one... *havingfaith*

ooook, this was my mistake.
though i already did download v1.1 of BINI i actually forgot to use it to uncompress the files (resp. forgot to copy it into the BiniQDU folder )

problem is solved now.

@craith
you could write HCl and make this proposal, i havent noticed lags due to mods yet, but maybe you can settle this

I wrote an e-mail to HCl, maybe he has the time to do us this favour.

I got an answer from HCl, there is already an ini compressor out there, it can be found here
