In Response to Fulgen
We thought about switching over to the ZIP format for C4Groups, but wouldn't it be better just to drop packed groups?
+ We already have the code for handling unpacked groups.
+ Resource loading over network would be more efficient because only changed files would need to be loaded.
+ We cannot pack subfolders in a zip group without losing random access, so we would have to add an implementation just for that parent group.
+ For the sake of compatibility, we could modify C4Group in order to unpack packed groups permanently.
+ Pretty all developers unpack their files to develop and pack them to publish them in order to keep the engine from going crazy.
