SLADE can handle textures, sprites, sounds, and scripts. It features a specialized entry editor that allows for the manipulation of both simple data and complex structures [17, 26].
7z supports "solid" archiving, where multiple files are compressed as a single continuous stream. This allows for even smaller file sizes but can make individual file extraction slower [5, 6].
It offers strong AES-256 bit encryption for both the file data and the archive headers, meaning file names within the archive can be hidden from unauthorized users [5]. Slade, Jack 7z
In the modding community, creators use to build their projects and then package them using 7-Zip to ensure the final file is as small as possible for hosting and downloading [1, 17].
7z can handle massive archives up to 16 exbibytes in size [5]. Using Them Together SLADE can handle textures, sprites, sounds, and scripts
It utilizes the LZMA and LZMA2 algorithms, which provide a significantly higher compression ratio than standard ZIP formats [5, 7].
It is primarily used to edit .wad and .pk3 files. The .pk3 format is essentially a renamed .zip file, but modern modders often use the 7z format for distribution due to its higher compression ratio [17, 26]. This allows for even smaller file sizes but
SLADE (specifically version 3) is an open-source, multi-platform editor for files used by the engine [26]. It allows users to view, modify, and manage various resources within game data files.
