• Load overload: bool decodeNames added
  • false is a performance increase for programs that do not need to display decoded names to the user
  • true is a performance loss but allows for displaying decoded names to the user
• File Method: GetFileBytes(string dataDirectory, int dataId, long offset, int length) added
  • Returns the collection of bytes that represents a file in the data.xxx storage system. (handy for doing hash calculations on the files byte[])

• Save overload: bool encodeNames added
• Updated functionality of method: UpdateFileEntry()
  • Originally intended to accept decoded fileName as part of string filePath
  • Updated to accept encoded fileName as part of string filePath
• Added proper encoding to method: GetFileBytes()

• Core.Import/UpdateFileEntry methods switched from OnTotal* events to OnCurrent*
• Core.UpdateFileEntry() overload added with argument (ref List blankIndex) to update files while tracking orphaned space
• Restructured code in Import/UpdateFileEntry methods
• Core.Create() method now reports a totalProgress/totalStatus
• Core.Load() method now reports a TotalStatus message and CurrentProgress values
• Core.Load() reportInterval (int) argument added, controls amount of bytes to process before reporting position to caller (progress reporting)
• Core.Load() overloads for data.000 and data.blk merged
• Structures.EventArgs.CurrentEventArgs changed to long from int
• IndexEntry class moved from DataCore namepsace to DataCore.Structures
• BlankIndexEntry and IndexEntry merged
• Core.Save() now reports progress via OnTotal/OnCurrent events
• Core.Save() changed from bool to void (bool always returned true)
• Core.Save() (all overloads) code optimized
• Core.Save() overload added to properly save .blk index as a .000 would be
• Added new Core.GetEntriesByDataId() overload to search BlankIndex
• Added Core.GetClosestEntry(ref List index, int dataId, int minSize, int maxSize) method to get the closest matching IndexEntry from the data.blk

Originally Posted by Rappler007 Great tool! I am currently working on a program to use the DataCore and I found some bugs: First and most annoying: while the core runs any function the program doesn't respond. This leads into problem #2: the progress-Events won't be called. (This means, that the window can not get focus back - if lost - the button inside the program cant be clicked/focused/whatever else you can do with buttons, any ToolTips won't appear, and progressbars - controlled by the progress-Events - won't change - until the core finished working on his function and is ready again - for example dumping files) Firstly, you must understand: The DataCore is not multi-threaded by nature this is assumed to be handled inside of your programs code. I suggest using the TASK API. Example: Task.Run(() => { core.Load(); }); P.S. Running the function inside a task is the same as using a backgroundworker or thread. If you attempt to directly report event information to a control create on the program thread you will get a "Cross-Thread Operation" exception. So when you write your reporting events do it like so: Example: core.ErrorOccured += (o,x) => { this.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(delegate {errorLabel.Text = x.Error; }))}; this.Invoke can only be used from the base thread the program is started on! The third bug is that the core.Save-Method always throws a IO.PathNotFound-Exception even if the given path exists. I guess I left the naming convention here for the path argument a bit ambiguous. The argument: buildPath expects the whole path like (C:/Rappelz/data.000) Dumping, exporting files and building the data.001-8 Files work fine. (I havn't worked with deleting and updating enough to say anything about these functions but as far as I am they are working fine too :) ) Again big THANKS for the great work! (I apologize for any grammar/spelling mistakes, but I am not a native speaker)

• Secondary Save() overload removed
• Primary Save() arguments clarified
  • Arguments: (ref List<IndexEntry> index, string buildDirectory, bool isBlankIndex, bool encodeNames)
  • buildDirectory example: C:\Rappelz\
  • isBlankIndex = true will save a data.blk (blk [blank] functionality not implemented yet)
• Internal bool NamesHashed added to Core.cs (tracks if caller loads data.000 with names hashed/unhashed (not for callers use)
• GetEntry(ref List<IndexEntry> index, string inName) now accepts Hashed/Unhashed names
• GetEntry(ref List<IndexEntry> index, string inName) summary text updated accordingly
• GetFileEntry removed
• New methods to generate file hashes (MD5/SHA512) added
  • GetFileMD5(ref List<IndexEntry> index, string dataDirectory, string fileName)
  • GetFileMD5(string dataDirectory, int dataId, long offset, int length, string fileExt)
  • GetFileSHA512(ref List<IndexEntry> index, string dataDirectory, string fileName)
  • GetFileSHA512(string dataDirectory, int dataId, long offset, int length, string fileExt)
