@Kaktor

I tried xtool's dd3 vs srep_new:3 on few starfield files to test. I couldn't notice size difference, nor much difference in extraction time.

It is much faster in encoding because all goes directly through stdin. And even on decoding it is slightly faster, also it requires less memory.

Normally, if you use srep it will copy all the files to a temp folder first which can take a lot of time, plus it requires additional disk space, and also doing its "second pass". With xtool dd, all these steps are obsolete. The output data which comes from srep is compressed immediately if you use compressors which works in stdin/stdout or cls mode (which lolz does not do atm in dsg). For example lzma, lzma2, fast-lzma2 and zstd.

However, a Idea comes to my mind and I will ask César if he can add something to dsg.

Here is my DSG_Settungs

Maybe use something like this aswell

I think the compressor have no access to "xtool:mstarfield" method.

You need to download and manually place the plugin in Xtool Folder.

I got a error too. Use low memory parameter for xtool (:lm). This will fix the issue.

Code:

 09:35:02 - Overall input size: 4.00 GB

 09:35:02 - Overall output size: 95.51 GB (Ratio 2389.70%)

 09:35:02 - Overall conversion time: 00:13:15

Oh and make sure you have enough free hard disk space free lol. Seems like you need a few hundreds of gb's of free space.

Send me the summary (click summary button). Otherwise I cannot see what's the problem actually.

Edit: I see, my bad sorry. Change the lines in DSG_Settings.ini

Code:

Data3.InclText=Data\Voice*



to



Data3.InclText=Data\*Voices*

Thanks for the correction. That problem solved and compression finished.

But there are two problems:
1st: the game folder size is 131.37GB, not 122.5
and:

Seems like you have problems with masked compression lately.

Recompress just the last bin file.

1. Move all files out of conversion folder to somewhere else (somewhere out of diskspan_gui folder).
2. Edit DSG_Settings.ini like this

Code:

[Game1Settings]

Name=Starfield

Exec=

EGPath=C:\Program Files\Bethesda Softworks\Starfield

MethodState=1

Data1.Name=Data1e-01.bin

Data1.Method1=xtool:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL|0

Data1.ExclText=*.ba2|*.bk2|*.esm

3. Open DSG and point to game folder and compress
4. If compression is done, open records.ini and copy the "Size=" key and paste it in old records.ini (from the compression before which gave you an error)
5. Move Data1e-01.bin to the folder which contains the compressed files from before

This should do it.

Should I edit the Data1 or Data5?
