A command line utility for working with quake 1 and 2 .pak files.

Why 'pakka', well pak files, and I have kids and Makka Pakka is their favourite In the Night Garden Character.

I am a novice C programmer. This code is the result of a learning exercise. Given that C programs can be very brittle, and behave in unexpected ways, I would strongly suggest you do not use this software :) If you are feeling very brave and do choose to use this software and find a problem, please let me know!

$ git clone https://github.com/ajbonner/pakka.git
$ make

Little endian 32/64 bit UNIXes should be able to build and run this no problem. I have built on OSX 10.11 (El Capitan) using Clang (Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)) and Ubuntu Linux 14.04 (Trusty) using GCC (gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04) 4.8.4).

Pakka has 5 major modes:

• Extract ./pakka -xf <pakfile.pak>
• Create ./pakka -cf <pakfile.pak> <list of paths/files to add>
• Add to pak ./pakka -af <pakfile.pak>
• Delete from pak ./pakka -df <pakfile.pak>
• List pak contents ./pakka -lf <pakfile.pak>

1. Fork it!
2. Create your feature branch: git checkout -b my-new-feature
3. Commit your changes: git commit -am 'Add some feature'
4. Push to the branch: git push origin my-new-feature
5. Submit a pull request :D

Created as an excuse to re-learn some C circa December '15-January '16

John Carmack for not only creating quake, but then open sourcing it and its successor games. He is the reason I am a programmer today.

I am unsure who the correct author is but I followed this documentation on the Quake PAK File Format in building this utility.
