Just wanted to inform that optional files as components work great with ASIS. I set the same component numbers in both DSG and ASIS and it looks better than tasks actually :)

Using components as additional items with only one game will require waiting for the next LIS update. I will update this weekend. Only the CIU has been updated so far for the latest DSG changes.

Hi Cesar82,
I recently created a form in Inno Setup that works with any DPI using a custom scaling function. I’m sharing this with you because I noticed you’re experiencing issues with the correct scaling of "DiskSpanGUI" across different DPI settings, and I believe my solution could help.
Below, you'll find a simple form that demonstrates the difference between default scaling and custom scaling. Please give it a try, and let me know if it works for you!

I've already tested something with custom scale but it doesn't work. It just makes DSG slower than if I use ScaleX and ScaleY to create all the forms.

It's not that.
The problem is that the DSG was the size of the screen and when applying the 150% scale, for example, it highlights the HEIGHT size of the monitor and is not drawn larger than the monitor's resolution.
The same happens with your script, see the attached video.

ThresholdPercent DiskspanGUI
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hi everybody ( especially Cesar :) ). How can we provide this ThresholdPercent feature in ultraarc for DiskSpan_GUI? Since the game file sizes are very large, it also takes up a lot of space while defragmenting appdata. Errors occur during installation as a result of insufficient RAM usage and disk. If we can activate this feature, we can get better performance and fewer installation errors in Win7 and low RAM usage.

DiskSpan GUI:
It is a tool developed to work together with CLS-DiskSpan.dll (by Razor12911) to create compressions using external compressors preconfigured in an ".ini" file.
It now supports 32-bit and 64-bit compressors again and can also work on 32-bit systems.

INFORMATION:
- With DiskSpan GUI it is possible to configure a collection of games with specific methods predefined for each game.
- You can create collections of up to 254 games and include up to 254 compressed files for each game.
- It is also possible to predefine several methods for each compressed file.
- Allows loading configurations with the best compression methods for a given game from a database created from information shared by users.
- It also allows the use of file inclusion and exclusion lists for each compressed file or for each game.
- It is also possible to use the "SPLIT" mode which splits the file after compression and before decompression it will be merged again.
This SPLIT mode is useful because it allows you to create masked compressions that are not supported by CLS-DiskSpan.dll.
But it is important to note that you will need extra free temporary disk space (the size of the largest compressed file) to merge the parts during installation.

SETTINGS:
To configure DiskSpan GUI, run "_Developer MODE.bat" file or hold "CTRL" key while running DiskSpan_GUI.exe and only release "CTRL" after DiskSpan GUI window appears.
After making the settings, click on the save button and wait for it to finish.
P.S: Do not run multiple instances in configuration mode because closing the last one will overwrite the settings.

NOTES:
- Added compact version to allow people who had problems with the interface cropping in the normal version when using resolutions below FULL HD or using Windows display scales above 100% to take advantage of this tool.
- The list of supported installers is in #post3.
- Read the changelog to stay on top of the latest changes.
- The scripts need to be updated to support use al resources of the DiskSpan GUI 2.0.2.1+ so we will maintain DiskSpan GUI 2.0.1.9 and DiskSpan GUI 2.0.2.0 for some time.
- Included along with DiskSpan GUI a simplified script example (ISDone modified script example).
. * With the example script ISDone users who want to include DiskSpan GUI support in their installers can more easily understand the necessary changes.
- You can delete the unused folder ("Win32" or "Win64") from within the "Resources" folder to reduce the size for sharing your conversion.
- In #post2 you will find separate versions of the DiskSpan GUI (32-bits) or (64-bits) for those who don't want additional files that they won't use.
- If you rename the file "DiskSpan_GUI.exe/DiskSpan_GUI (compact).exe" to "DiskSpan_GUI (x86).exe/DiskSpan_GUI (compact) (x86).exe" or "DiskSpan_GUI (x64).exe/DiskSpan_GUI (compact) (x64).exe" it will run in the mode specified by the name.

hello cesar!
hello everyone...
There is a compression to reduce GTA5 to 90-100GB, with fast extraction, I used the Tool with Srep+lzma2 but I have 110GB of 142GB, I would like to get to 90-100GB with the same speed

I used:

KaktoR 09-10-2024 12:18
Code:
bpk+xtool:mzlib:mpreflate:dd3+LZMA-MT

Overall input size: 112.81 GB
Overall output size: 66.36 GB (Ratio 58.83%)
Overall conversion time: 03:28:36
I think without bpk it is a bit faster but size is also bigger then.

hello in dsg what happens when you check GOG? and of course on a GOG game is it important to do so?

DSG only includes information in Records.ini about the type of installer that was chosen during compression.
So when you install using installers that support the feature, such as CIU, the installer will read this information and depending on the type you can configure, for example, registry entries with the value "check: IsGogGame" so if you chose GOG during compression, the installer will add the keys to the registry. This option is intended for installers for multiple modes.
EXAMPLE: steam+gog in the same installer, allowing only to include registry keys if you chose gog during compression.

Hello, as is often the case, I forget to copy the 'conversion_log' file to put it aside if I need to redo it with new parameters or to copy it here on the site for information. So is it possible that the 'conversion_log.log' file instead bears the name of the game like 'Conversion_namegame_log.log' which would mean that it would not be automatically deleted? unless this option exists but I haven't seen

I can do the same name as the conversion.
The name of the game if it is a collection will have more than one name, so the LOG will be with the name of the conversion (DSG Title) and not the game.

DiskSpan GUI v2.0.2.2
 
1 Attachment(s)
Updated DiskSpan GUI to v2.0.2.2 in the first post.
Code:
- Added support to new XTool "gdeflate" codec using "mgdeflate".
- Added precompressor OdleRec patched version (poo2reck, poo2recm, poo2recs).
- Added new compressor option SREP 4.90g-wip (srep_3.92, srep_3.93, srep_3.93a, srep_4.90g).
- Added option in developer mode to set a path with temporary files as decompressors to be included in Setup_DLL for processing purposes after installation.
- Updated 7-Zip compressor from v24.07 to v24.09 (2024-11-29).
- Updated LZMA SDK compressor from v24.07 to v24.09 (2024-11-29).
- Updated "dsgcall.dll" library with useful functions to create custom callbefore/callafter executables.
- Updated DiskSpan GUI database to version 1.0.9.6 (Thanks to KaktoR, this is possibly the last database update made by KaktoR).
  >> Now with 460 game presets and 34 collection presets (64-bits).
  >> Now with 37 game presets and 8 collection presets (32-bits).
- Fixed some minor bugs.
INFO: This is possibly the last database update made by KaktoR.

EDIT:
- Added attachment Oodle_Libs.7z with oodle library 2.9.12 (lib2) from "Indiana Jones and the Great Circle" and oodle library 2.9.2 (lib3) from "DA:Veilguard".
Code:
Replace Oodle_Libs.7z inside DSG folder:
"..\Resources\Win64\ADDONS\Libraries\Oodle\Oodle_Libs"

Use cmdline parâmetter like:
xtool:m<oodlecodec>:core_2.9.12:lib_2:dd3...
xtool:m<oodlecodec>:core_2.9.2:lib_3:dd3...

Replace files inside DSG 2.0.2.2 folder and accept the replacement of the DSG_Methods.ini file on the first run.
Code:
- Changed the database updates from Google Drive to Dropbox because Google Drive reports a false positive for a virus and if you add a password the download cannot be done directly.
NOTES:
Previous versions of DSG no longer support database updates because the system has changed, and the url has changed.

Hello, I have a question about the use of: uninstall files list
what is the best option to choose?

Don't Create list
export Data list
create single list
create complete list
create list on install

thx

export Data list:
Exports the list of files from already compressed ARC/ZIP/RAR archives. Names containing non-ANSI characters will not be listed correctly (Example, if there is a file named with Cyrillic characters)

create single list:
Scans the selected folder for compression, using the same file inclusion and exclusion masks to compile the list. This takes some extra time after compressing each Data#.bin file, but has full support for non-ANSI characters.

create complete list:
It scans similarly to the "create single list" option, but includes the file size in bytes and the file hash (separated by the "|" character) before the file name like example below.
This option is only recommended if your modified installer version needs to use the hash or file size for some additional functionality. To get the name you will need to trim the string until after the last "|" character (DSG_Module.iss does this).
Code:
[Record1]
              0|00000000|{app}\CallBefore CallAfter (Maker)
          4144|e8031e4c|{app}\CallAfter.bat
          22486|5ee47c06|{app}\CallBefore CallAfter (Maker)\52355204.ico
          15858|2ba26292|{app}\CallBefore CallAfter (Maker)\CallBefore or CallAfter.iss
        1624854|40932285|{app}\CallBefore CallAfter (Maker)\CallBefore.exe
            84|12855359|{app}\CallBefore CallAfter (Maker)\desktop.ini
        323072|b7ea8669|{app}\CallBefore CallAfter (Maker)\dsgcall.dll
        124928|d1dd843d|{app}\CallBefore CallAfter (Maker)\dsgcall_upx.dll
          22486|5ee47c06|{app}\CallBefore CallAfter (Maker)\Icon.ico
        1510684|0cc2ab45|{app}\CallBefore CallAfter (Maker)\TMemoWindow.exe
          4160|b8a58512|{app}\CallBefore.bat
        637721|87009166|{app}\CallBefore.exe
            34|97ab8d5f|{app}\Exclude1.txt
              1|dbbbc9d6|{app}\Include1.txt
              5|39eb65ce|{app}\Include2.txt
create list on install:
This option tells the compatible installer that it should generate the list of file and directory names. Then, the compatible installer (which uses DSG_Module.iss), before starting the installation, will generate a list of each installation folder (also for unpacking Data#bin in optional folders) to store the existing files. After the installation, the installer will generate a new list of these same folders, but omitting the files that already existed before the installation.

CONCLUSION:
- The "create list on install" option is less recommended because you will lose some extra time each time you install, because the list will not be ready before installing. The other options include the list in the Setup_DLL file during compression.
- For use only to uninstall the game, the "create single list" option is more recommended because it is faster to generate, is ready every time you install, and also includes support for all file name
