Thank you. I've surmised, from your location and your name, that you are German, and therefore a language barrier may be a factor. But I was wondering if there might be a tutorial of some kind on this, perhaps with highlighted text. You see, I'm neurodivergent (I have Autism with Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder), and this is the sort of thing that tightens my chest and makes it hard to breathe when I try to learn it on my own. I know it may sound dramatic, but it's more like traumatic, strangely enough. The kind of thing that makes you feel stupid when you know you're smart. But I digress. If you could help at all, that would be much appreciated.

On an unrelated note: I tried to find your Thank You button and failed. Most likely, another casualty of being neurodivergent. If you could help with that, I will thank you profusely as much as I can.

Hello!
Can anyone please make a tutorial on making our own callbefore and callafter batch files and using them during compression?
Thanks in advance!

there are callbefore and callafter batch files in original download files
i think They are self-explanatory.

If you have any questions just ask.

I made all of them.

And I wish someone take over the database one day.

Is it possible to assign compression method names at my discretion? For example, I need xt91 instead of xtool or lolz instead of LOLZ_NORMAL.

LOLZ_NORMAL is just a preset of lolz.
You can use lolz just normal like you want.
Example: srep+lolz:d32:mt8

Code:

LOLZ_FAST   = lolz:d<expr:((0.25*freememory/11)-(32*1048576*2))/min(thread,16)/1048576>:mtt1:mt<expr:min(thread,16)>:fba4096:mc2

LOLZ_NORMAL = lolz:d<expr:((0.45*freememory/11)-(32*1048576*2))/min(thread,16)/1048576>:mtt1:mt<expr:min(thread,16)>:mc1023

LOLZ_HIGH   = lolz:dtb1:d<expr:((0.65*freememory/11)-(32*1048576*2))/min(thread,16)/1048576>:mtt1:mt<expr:min(thread,16)>:mc1023

LOLZ_ULTRA  = lolz:dtb1:d<expr:((0.85*freememory/11)-(32*1048576*2))/min(thread,16)/1048576>:mtt1:mt<expr:min(thread,16)>:mc1023

For xt91 it is possible aswell but you have to make changes in DSG_Arc.ini + DSG_Methods.ini, because it would be a whole new method.

Hello!
I wanted to ask how to specify Diskspan gui a specific oodle library version to use while using the unreal plugin, as on the plugin it mentions 2.9.5 by default which is an old version...I wanted to use 2.9.15 for the game, but I don't know how to define a specific library on the plugin.
Thanks in advance!

In your case, use :core_2.9.15

^^ Thank you very much Cesar!

You can find out available libraries in:
"Resources\Win64\ADDONS\Libraries\Oodle\Oodle_Libs .7z"

If you need to use another library for the same version, example 2.9.10 #2, use it like this:
:core_2.9.10:lib_2

Hi kaktor and cesar!
apparently just like both of you said to specify oodle version, I tried to do that on a game which uses the 2nd version of 2.9.10 and I'm sure as I have checked it using that specific version using Xtool.
But Now if I try to specify that library on diskspan It doesn't give me a good ratio though I'm sure it uses 2.9.10
And This was the Algorithm I used but no work sadly:
xtool:c32mb:mue5:mkraken,l7:core_2.9.10:lib_2+srep _new:392+lolz:dtb1:d43:mtt1:mt8:mc1023
Please tell me what mistake I made here, or is a problem of diskspan itself?
