Bundling: just curious.

[daglob]

In a different thread, DeTourneme mentions a hero file/skin/mesh bundle function in the games. I've thought this would be great, and wondered why no one had come up with it. Just to satisfy my curiosity, could someone tell me about it or point me at some info?

In CTool2, click on Help-->Contents on the top menu. This brings up a page that provides useful information about the Character Tool. In the menu on the left side, the link for Bundles is at the bottom I tried playing with the function a bit and I'm not sure that it works, at least for exporting. The only thing I am able to include in the export is the hero file. I thought I had seen a bundle ages ago, but can't remember where. Let us know if you have any luck.

A long time ago, I actually spent some time taking to Irrational about a feature like this (literally on the phone with Jon Chey about it).
I could have sworn I got it to work in Ctool2 once, but haven't tried in years.

I also started doing my own installers of bundles (I called them EZHero Paks and even got permission from some artists to include their meshes/skins) but it was around the time I dropped out FF, so I never really pursued it much.
