just a quick script I threw together, it will batch convert bsp files to bzip2 for fast download, thought I'd share as i know how annoying it can be bzipping multiple files for fast downloads.

easily editable, feel free to cut/paste/edit/improve. its a really simple script in a language im not brilliant at.

just requires 7zip (its the only one i know that bzips)

open up the file (in notepad++ preferably) and set the path to your 7z exe

set bzipper="full path to the exe"

run it, enter the full directory you want and it'll take care of the rest. this can be edited to do model files as well or any other content that you'd like bzipping

as i said, just thought id share, its simple but can be timesaving

1. get bzip2.exe and put it in the same directory as all the files (http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/bzip2.htm)
2. bzip2.exe -k * (dont use -k if you dont want to have the originla files after zipping)
3. done

Zephyrus method is way more simple, how come I never thought of that lol!

Thanks for the script Rizla, I learned some stuff from it

Here's a copy of what I use. It uses a batch file similar to what Zephyrus said. Just place files inside the files folder, then run the batch file "zip_files".

@Echo Off
:Start
If [%1==[ Goto :EOF
PushD %~pd1
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" u -tbzip2 %~nx1.bz2 %1
Shift
PopD
Goto Start

^I just make this into a .bat file and then just drag and drop all the files I wish to bzip2 onto the .bat file.

I'm not sure about bzip2.exe, but the 7z one by default uses all available threads and is capable of capping the CPU. I wouldn't recommend running it in a server environment unless you restrict the number of threads.

On 7zip 9+ you can restrict the threads using -mt# where # is the number of threads

Hey did you steal this from me?
I made one last year but its over at the FreakFortress2 sub-forum.
Looks a bit like mine.

[Rizla]

no, wrote it myself from scrath in about 10 minutes, trouble is with things like this is that theres only one way to do it really

I've been using this for a few years now.
