Hi all,
First i will apologize for my poor grammar it is not my strength.
Now the idea, a program that scans headers or headless files of hundreds of formats audio, textures etc... more libraries could be added later, it would just be a bare bone skeleton that is not a compressor but can pull programs any program you desire to compress that file section only, like a msc freearc hybrid.
Like so...
-----------------------msc part---------------freearc part---------------
Scanning file..... found header/headless mp3 compressing with *mp3 packer*
Scanning file..... found header/headless dxt compressing with *dxt packer*
Scanning file..... found header/headless bink compressing with *bink packer*
etc....
The external compressors would be interchangeable like with freearc but could go deeper than just extensions like msc, which would make it ridiculously flexible and easy to compress any file.
Of course pzlib/reflate/precomp would be applied first or maybe on the fly.
If Freearc/Fazip already does this i apologize and just disregard this thread altogether but if not...
Any thoughts... be gentle please its just a thought i would like to share and it is my first posting
