PCKPacker
=========

**Inherits:** :ref:`Reference<class_Reference>` **<** :ref:`Object<class_Object>`

Creates packages that can be loaded into a running project.

.. rst-class:: classref-introduction-group

Description
-----------

The **PCKPacker** is used to create packages that can be loaded into a running project using :ref:`ProjectSettings.load_resource_pack<class_ProjectSettings_method_load_resource_pack>`.

::

    var packer = PCKPacker.new()
    packer.pck_start("test.pck")
    packer.add_file("res://text.txt", "text.txt")
    packer.flush()

The above **PCKPacker** creates package ``test.pck``, then adds a file named ``text.txt`` at the root of the package.

Method Descriptions
-------------------

.. _class_PCKPacker_method_add_file:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **add_file** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` pck_path, :ref:`String<class_String>` source_path **)**

Adds the ``source_path`` file to the current PCK package at the ``pck_path`` internal path (should start with ``res://``).

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_PCKPacker_method_flush:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **flush** **(** :ref:`bool<class_bool>` verbose=false **)**

Writes the files specified using all :ref:`add_file<class_PCKPacker_method_add_file>` calls since the last flush. If ``verbose`` is ``true``, a list of files added will be printed to the console for easier debugging.

.. rst-class:: classref-item-separator

----

.. _class_PCKPacker_method_pck_start:

.. rst-class:: classref-method

:ref:`Error<enum_@GlobalScope_Error>` **pck_start** **(** :ref:`String<class_String>` pck_name, :ref:`int<class_int>` alignment=0 **)**

Creates a new PCK file with the name ``pck_name``. The ``.pck`` file extension isn't added automatically, so it should be part of ``pck_name`` (even though it's not required).

.. |virtual| replace:: :abbr:`virtual (This method should typically be overridden by the user to have any effect.)`
.. |const| replace:: :abbr:`const (This method has no side effects. It doesn't modify any of the instance's member variables.)`
.. |vararg| replace:: :abbr:`vararg (This method accepts any number of arguments after the ones described here.)`
.. |static| replace:: :abbr:`static (This method doesn't need an instance to be called, so it can be called directly using the class name.)`
