fixed while condition in encode_matches_count so it doesn't get stuck…

… when count is negative

I found that this could happen due to the while (count--) at line 687.

Do you have any example file for this situation?
As I remember, I've fixed this case already.

And... your fix is not corresponding to your description.

I’m not 100% sure about the cause, but method 2 packing definitely fails for most of my files. I’m on cell phone now so I don’t have access to the files. But I will upload later.

The while at 687 exits when count==0, and then subtracts 1 from count, leaving count=-1.

The code loops back to the while at 654. I believe that line doesn’t work as intended when count<0.

If you're using some of 'Release' versions then it will contain a bug, because I didn't upload a new versions yet.
Have you tried to compile my code?

[dalton-tulou]

I compiled from source using visual studio

[lab313ru]

Confirmed.

Thank you! I have great respect for all the work which must have been invested in reverse-engineering RNC.

[lab313ru]

Thank you!:)

Also, you may look at my other reversed project: https://github.com/lab313ru/AmigaImploder

It is Amiga's Imploder - another popular cruncher.
