I AM WILLING TO PROVIDE SOME KIND OF INCENTIVE FOR THIS PROJECT.

Problem:

Rewrite
https://github.com/DarkstarProject/darkstar/blob/master/src/common/zlib.cpp
and
https://github.com/DarkstarProject/darkstar/blob/master/src/common/zlib.h

To work in an architecture and platform-independent way, preferably with some documentation on what it is really doing and how it is accomplished. Code currently only works properly on x86 platforms despite efforts to replicate it to at minimum work on x86_64. Final code should compile with any C++11 and/or C99 compliant compiler.

Pm or post if you think you have what it takes!
So thankful for help. So thankful

Bascially, you have to stop relying on what you think is constant data, but actually is platform-dependant. Is your incentive fg or something more substantial?

Try to answer best I can

I want it written architecture-independent
that means it needs to compile on x86, x86_64, ARM, MIPS, or whatever else you throw at it

it *says* its zlib but if you look at it its not actually a zlib function
I did not write the code...it appears to be reverse-engineered from the ffxi client
if I understood what it was actually doing then I would at least have a starting point.

but as it stands it is just a black box function that has been in the code since long before I even started working on the project
