spacker

A CLI tool to bundle all files found in an fxmanifest.lua file into a zip file, for easy distribution.

Installation

• Download the latest release from the Releases section
• Add the spacker binary path to your PATH enviromental variable

Usage

• Invoke the program like: spacker resource/fxmanifest.lua, or just spacker if the manifest file is in the current directory.

Adding files to the archive, without including them in the Cfx runtime

• Spacker exposes a custom directive called spacker_keep, which will add the files to the archive.
• Example:

 fx_version 'cerulean'

 game 'gta5'

 name 'awesome-resource'

--snip--
 spacker_keep { --this won't affect your cfx runtime, but will include the files in the archive
     "typedefs/types.lua",
 }

Building from source

• You have to have the Rust toolchain installed
• In the spacker directory, run cargo build --release
