Hi all! I'm really dumb at compressing files into RPA archive, could you help me with that? I need to pack all files in one directory. Preferably you can explain me this algorithm in detail and understandable, I will be sincerely thankful to all of you for your help.

Mix and match whichever bits you prefer. Tweak as needed. Then next time you use the [Build Distributions] menu from the launcher, the files will be put wherever you've told them to be.

## To archive files, classify them as 'archive'.

thx so much, have a nice dayIt's part of the [Build Distributions] process done automatically, from the RenPy launcher.
You just need to include a couple of extra lines in theoptions.rpyfile.

At the very simplest level, all you would need to do is un-comment (remove the#) at the start those 2 final lines. In this case, any file ending in.pngor.jpgwould be put in thearchive.rpafile instead.

Which is more or less the same thing, except I put images in animages.rpaarchive, scripts inscripts.rpa, etc. etc. by declaring 3 separate.rpafiles instead of the default one calledarchive.rpa.
The final line is just to tell RenPy not to bother building a 32bit version of the game. Partly because it used to generate erroneous antivirus errors and partly because anyone still using running Windows 95 or Windows XP 32bit need more incentives to update to a modern operation system.
