__NOTOC__
The '''Resource Packer''' is a plugin that ships with the C4 Engine, and it is used to create pack files in the engine's proprietary <code>.pak</code> format. For information about how pack files work, see [[Pack Files and Virtual Directories]].

== Creating a Pack File ==

The console command <code>pack ''name''</code> is used to create a pack file, where ''name'' is the name of a top-level subfolder inside the <code>Data</code> folder.

Once a pack file has been created, the folder from which it was made can be deleted, and the Resource Manager will then fetch resources from the pack file. (The pack file takes precedence over the folder from which it was created.) The original files from which a pack file was created cannot be recovered from the pack file, so they should be saved in a separate location for future use. Pack files are generally created when it is time to ship a final product.
