Re: RezMerger size limitation .r --> .rsrc

Hi Guys,

I wouls like to know if there is some kind of size limitation concerning rsrc file generated thanks a .r file ?

I have a zip file included in my .r, so it generates a rsrc file with a zip resource.

using this in the .r file:

Read 'UVIr' (128, "resource") "resource.zip";

Until today, everything worked  fine.

Problem is since I've have added some stuff in the zip file, I got an eofErr from RezMerger tool.
If I remove some stuff from the zip file, it works fine. :(

However no error from Rez itself.

My zip file is now about 28 MB.

Any ideas ?

28 megabytes is astonishingly large for a Resource Manager resource. The Resource file format was determined in 1982, when we thought that allocating a 24-bit offset from the beginning of the resource file to the start of each resource was generous, possibly wasteful. ResMerger is failing because you can't have any more resources past 16Mb due to the 24-bit offset.

Why on earth are you putting a zipped resource into a resource file, and not just copying it directly into the Resources directory of the bundle?
