Fast UZ compressor, drop-in replacement UCC.exe for compress/decompress unreal .uz files

[Que]

perhaps in new version we could have ability to throw *.* or *.unr at uz.exe
makes sense as no0ne will be compressing 1 file at a time

perhaps you could include in readme Secktor2111 example for bulk processing for time being.

[Buggie]

I do not think so.
1. Workaround exists. So it is not a problem at all.
2. Such things must be handled by command interpreter, not by tool itself. Initially bad design in DOS.
I prefer follow Unix way in this question.

[sektor2111]

A member was writing that batch stuff for compressing UZ files but using UCC - of course, I don't like the way with SPACES, here being shown clearly what SPACE is for... - separating command from its switches... anyway, I think that toy can be converted for UZ processing and message "Please, be patient" can be a bit changed as long as this UZ is faster than lightning...

Does that mean that a *nix version will be available soon?

[Buggie]

No. This mean one tool for one task.
But i find solution from MS - add special link to setargv.obj file:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c- ... ew=vs-2019

I hope this not break work in old Windows like WinXP.

About Linux version - maybe later if I able setup VM with GCC and add support to it.

Buggie is the UZ Boss...

[Barbie]

Sadly I got a SIGSEGV. Is it because I run it on a 32 bit system? (I know that it is outdated )

[Buggie]

Attach MapPatcherClt.u file for reproduce.

[Barbie]

It happened with every file I tried, also when I used root account. I added MapPatcherClt.u anyway.
Where should the compressed file go to? Current directory or source file directory?

"source file directory".
Source path + ".uz".

My (rented) server returns "Download package 'Terrain' failed: Server refused to send 'Terrain'".
Could someone compress 'terrain.umx' for me please? 'UZ.exe' crashes immediately the moment I run it.
