Description

There are already conventions in place for resource packaging in FS2:
  • zipped folders with .pack, .save, etc. extension
  • Info (ScriptedInfo) metadata

However, the Snowberry resource package formats also need to be understood by the file system.

For full fledged package management, though, the file system needs to know which packages are in use and which ones are not.

Also see the Resource package proposal.

The basic operating principles of FS2 packages are now in place:
  • package metadata stored in container file's metadata
  • symlinks to loaded packages under /packs
  • package assets and asset symlinks
  • observing availability of packages and assets
  • DS hooks for load/unload
  • file indexing that takes packages into account
