Afr0	If you are going to port this, note that longs are 64 bits in C#, and have thusly been replaced with ints in this code. In C++, you'd normally use long instead. Also note that this class is designed to inflate the compressed data in memory. You could also write the inflated data directly to a file, though this is not recommended for realtime use!

Phoenix	In C++ you'd have to use some preprocessor macros to get exactly 64 bits (if possible), or long longs to get at least 64 bits in the integer. I'm not sure how useful this is for the rest of us who aren't interested in remaking The Sims Online, but it looks like some decent working code.

JL235	It's MS only, but there is also __int64.

Afr0	No, no! Longs are 32 bits in C++, and are stored as 32 bits in XA files and Wav files. So you should treat them as 32 bits. Oh and XA files are used in all Maxis games from Sim City 3000 onwards. I believe there is even an early version of *.xa used in Sim City 2000, but I've never actually opened any of those data files.

Phoenix	sigh We already had this discussion in the chat a while ago. In C++, things aren't that simple. There are no guarantees that an int is 32 bits, or even that a char is 8 bits.

cthug	You could use SDL types (Uint32, Uint8 etc)

Afr0	I'm not sure if the original code is designed to be compiled as C or C++, but it seems to be using the Microsoft specific types like LONG, BYTE and DWORD. These are, IIRC, defined in Windows.h, and should be confined to 'general' standards like LONG = 32 bits and BYTE is 8 bits. See the link in the original post for reference.
