[hlds] VPK tool crashing

2014-05-01 Thread Alexander Corn
Has anyone else been experiencing issues with the VPK tool (vpk.exe shipped
with the game in /steamapps/common/Team Fortress 2/bin)? It crashes
immediately when I try to use it to either create or extract a VPK, and
it's been doing this for at least a few months.

When extracting, it prints extracting [first file] and then crashes.

The same thing happens on both my Windows 7 desktop and my Windows 8
laptop, so I'm pretty sure it's not an issue on my end.

I'd really like for this to be fixed since I offer my community members
signed VPKs so they can use mods on my servers, which run sv_pure.

Yes, and it happens on my Ubuntu Linux server box as well. I filed a bug 
on the source-1-games bug tracker about it about a month ago: 
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Source-1-Games/issues/1709


I'm not sure when exactly it broke, but I created a VPK of the Vs. 
Saxton Hale server content on March 2nd on the same box, so it broke 
sometime between then and now.

vpk crashes for me, too, on OS X, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7, upon 
extracting.

I had an old server that hadn't been touched or updated since December, and its 
VPK tool still worked.

vpk.exe seems to depend on two dlls -- the old exe appears to work fine with 
the new dlls, but I packed up the old versions of all three files:

(Sorry, windows only)

But Valve will definitely have to fix this.
