Hi all,
I have started to learn BGT. I had  some nolige of programming in the passt, so the tutorial wasn't mutch of a problem. How ever, I think that pack_file object isn't explained quite good. That's why I ask the following questions.
1. How to use sounds or any file other then text files in the pack?
2. What's the advantage of using a pack then simply putting encrypted sounds in a folder?
3. would be apritiated, but is not required, some code example of an application that uses packs.
Kind regards,
Aleksandar

1 To use sounds from a pack, use the set_sound_storage function. Use either the pack name, or * if you're including the pack in your executable.
2. I'm not really sure... If you want to include everything in a single executable, you'd include a pack containing the data files, but otherwise, I'm not sure that it provides much benefit. Actually, there is one advantage to using individual encrypted files, rather than a pack: if you need to add, change, or remove files, you'd have to modify the pack.
