[Feature]: Read Archive from a buffer of bytes #7
Description
Prerequisites
- I have searched existing issues to ensure this isn't a duplicate
- I have read the Contributing Guidelines
- I have checked the project roadmap and documentation
Problem Statement
Unable to read an mpq file from a buffer of bytes directly (Vec etc)
Proposed Solution
implement a load function for Archive struct that can work directly with a buffer, instead of relying on a provided path to read from filesystem.
Alternatives Considered
There is a similar function in a related crate, which could serve as a good example. However that crate lacks several features needed for my use-case.
Feature Type
API improvement
Priority
High - Blocking my use case
Affected Components
- MPQ archives
- DBC/DB2 databases
- BLP textures
- M2 models
- WMO world objects
- ADT terrain
- WDT/WDL world data
- CLI interface
- FFI/C bindings
- Documentation
- Build system
- Cross-cutting/multiple components
Use Cases
I need to be able to read a file directly from Buffers, as there is no support for std::fs::File in wasm32 env.
