I;'m having a problem arc.exe crashing when the operation starts and i guess it's related to my settings.
let's say i want to compress a cpk file and load crilayla library how the command in arc.ini would look like?
Thanks.

thats the typical command razor gave for it
also don't use x64 at this time something is wrong with it
razor said he would look into it

When i used $$.tmp instead of stdio i got no disk full error.

it gives me a CRC error when i use that i wonder why every individual computer must be so complicated lol

XTool doesn't work with Diskspan unfortunatelly.

If i use stdin then xtool closes itself with a windows error reporting in task manager (it will be shown just for a second).

I have used also $$.tmp and Input, same

@KaktoR you have a typo in packcmd: c32mb,t3

That's the command razor gave us, and it works just fine (except for the above^^)

each time razor releases a new version i will use it to repack a larger cpk game
i did with sonic forces because it is 16 gigs so its not too terribly large
it is the guinea pig lol

There you go :D

Decomp one will pop shortly

holy giant post panker lol

Just to let you know regarding my problem with xtool+diskspan.

It works actually, but i had to drag&drop the game folder 7 times actually (like spamming the folder into batch) before xtool starts working without windows problem reporting. It seems like a bug somewhere in batch, diskspan or even xtool, i don't know. Maybe my machine is the problem, but i had it only with xtool now.

Edit:
Have searched a bit, seems to be a problem with one of the vc redists, so i uninstalled them all, rebooted and reinstalled them one by one

Code:

Faulting application name: Arc.exe, Version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x5324af98

Faulting application name: msvcrt.dll, Version: 7.0.17133.1, time stamp: 0xc5dd3631

Exception code: 0xc0000005

Fault offset: 0x00088a2a

Faulting process ID: 0x18fc

Faulting application start time: 0x01d3d9bcfd524e85

Faulting application path: C:\Windows\System32\msvcrt.dll

The problem is only when i use diskspan with xtool. All other tools working just fine.

Edit 2:
Compatibility Mode for Win7 (xtool.exe) seems to fix this issue. Really strange.

Edit 3:
Ok no it's not fixed actually. After i arborted compression because of wrong lzma2, i fixed that and run again -> same problem as before.

Edit 4:
I've found the problem. If the pack data has folders + subfolders then xtool (or diskspan i dont know) stop working for some reason. But if i copy all files from all folders + subfolders into one single directory, then it works (it's the same size, but without any folders).

Edit 5:
My solution was now to just pick up some files and use your pack.bat from post #1, after it starts, wait some secs until xtool.exe starts working and then drag&drop game folder into diskspan bat and it works *facepalm* wtf

I think the problem here is xtool, because all other pre-/compressors working just fine with diskspan and whole game folders, but xtool doesn't. So?
