Zlib compression does not seem to work in 0.80+ versions of TIC-80

[KatPurpy]

If I make possibly more than 64k of JavaScript then loading such cartridge will result in TIC-80 totally ignoring code and saying "the code is empty!"

What is more weird that CART2PRJ utility will also ignore code resulting in project cart's code part being empty but PRJ2CART will embed code into the cartridge

What is even more weird that loading project directly (for example by dragging project file on TIC-80 icon) makes the game load just fine

Here are the test carts I used to check if the bug wasn't game specific, they contain a lot of pain: tic80_compression_issue.zip

Reproduced, it's weird.
Thanks.

Also I would like to note that exporting on TIC-80 (latest commit) that was fed big project file will result in native TIC-80 with the default hello world cartridge

Ahh, all is ok, you have to use prj2cart instead cart2prj.
You load .js as .tic file and convert it to .tic file and got cart with garbage :)

What OS are you exporting? just tested export win game.exe and all is ok.

Windows 64 bit, TIC-80 compiled with MinGW

It seems to be the main problem was that I mixed up previous version utils with current TIC-80...

But now i am having other problem. Latest TIC-80 exports hello world if it was started using project file. The version I was using did not have such bug (0.90.1400)

The problem was with non-ASCII chars in the path, I fixed it here a42e9f3.
Please, try to export win game.exe now.
Thanks.

The bug seems to be gone. Thanks.
