Is there a way to bypass the 255-character limit with installations? A game I am repacking has a file that is in a structure 245 characters long, which doesn't leave much room for an installation path when installing with the installer, and it errors out when the install path is long.

Thanks for this GUI and the sample installer script, both have been very helpful.

if install path exced 259 character try adding \\?\ before path

Code:

\\?\C:\folder\etc\etc\install folder\

I tried this after reading the comment as per the user above as well and get an error that ? can not be used in directory or filenames.

For now, I have renamed the affected files to reduce their characters by a lot and written a bat file that is executed when unpacking is done, that renames them back to their original names. This avoids the error and allows some semblance of a real installation path.

Unreal Engine xtool Plugin weird results

i'm facing another issue
when i try the unreal-engine plugin by razor on xtool, it "sometimes" gives me different results than DSG

the following sample file is one of stellar blade .utoc files, it's an UnrealEngine 4 game, through xtool app "0.8.9 & 0.7.9HF" it's compressed properly using both UE4 or UE5 plugin with kraken precompressor

xtool method

Code:

ue4:k0x014AEC0148FBDEE9640633AAB67521AAB4E1083A98F76FF33DDCF78DAD05BE66+kraken

https://i.postimg.cc/pTm6W23W/image.png

however on DSG, i always get 2% compression, so i suppose that the file isn't read properly through precompression

i've tried several methods .. tried both crypted ue4 & ue5 and used AES keys dumped by me. tried to change oodle library manually "not sure if i did it correctly but i tried to cope with ur previous reply to me"

DGS Methods trials

Code:

xtool:c32mb:mue4:mkraken:core_2.9.9:dd5:l10,d128mb

xtool:c32mb:mue4:mkraken,l9:9+xtool:dd5:l10

xtool:c32mb:d1:mue4,k0x<key>:mkraken,l9:9+xtool:dd5:l10

Stellar Blade AES keys

Code:

utoc is ue5

Whenever you have to use a key, you have to use d1 option aswell.

dsg command line

Code:

xtool:d1:mue5,k0x06890528488905294889052A4889053B48890554890556C70F7F052E4883C428:mkraken:core_2.9.9:dd5:l10,d128mb

Code:

 17:13:50 - Overall input size: 605,35 MB

 17:13:50 - Overall output size: 520,66 MB (Ratio 86.01%)

The rest is unreal engine trash. Have fun with another ue game :)

If you use xtool, try lm option

Code:

xtool:lm:

Freezing

Good day. What could be the reason for the ‘freezing’ of the program? It hangs for hours and ultimately does nothing. This happened in both versions 22 and 23.

Hi Cesar82
Can you make my script modified just like

Vesta[24.05] (modifyed).7z
OpenSetup[05.06] (modifyed).7z

Please

I PM you, thanks

LILU	09-01-2026 04:12

Good day. Please tell me if there will be any updates (for example, 2.0.2.4)? Will the game database be updated (presets in _Developer MODE)? And how is it possible to ‘attach’ (so that the GUI has the WemTool setting) by analogy with the selection of MEDIA COMPRESSOR and FINAL COMPRESSOR in _Developer MODE?

There are several DSG updates, but internal for now. But I guess the update will come soon.

As for WemTool as a indipendent method for freearc: I don't think this will work because you have to call it from cmd.

Edit: Here is the latest database update. Use it with the DSG files from mausschieber conversions. He has a newer build I send him some months ago for testing, although it's already outdated the database files should work nevertheless I guess.

Edit 2: There were not much database updates lately simply because of the fact that 90% of todays game releases are unreal engine 5 and there is not much benefits in repacking them, not to say there is no point in repacking them at all if you save just max 10% of the initial size and wait hours and hours for installing them.

First you have to call WemTool.exe with -e option from cmd or batch file to encode WEM files.

Code:

WemTool.exe -e

Then you can either call WemTool.exe with a batch file from inno setup or directly from the inno setup script within installation.

Example:
ISDone_Example.iss

Code:

if CurStep = ssPostInstall then

  begin

    ExtractTemporaryFile('WemTool.exe');

    FileCopy(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\WemTool.exe'), ExpandConstant('{app}\WemTool.exe'), False);

    ShellExec('open', ExpandConstant('{app}\WemTool.exe'), '-d', ExpandConstant('{app}'), SW_HIDE, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode);

DSG_Module.iss

Code:

[Files]

Source: "Include\WemTool.exe"; Flags: dontcopy

The above example will execute WemTool.exe with -d parameter after install process.

Example with batch execution:
ISDone_Example.iss

Code:

if (CurStep = ssPostInstall) then

  begin

    ExtractTemporaryFile('batch.bat');

    FileCopy(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\batch.bat'), ExpandConstant('{app}\batch,bat'), False);

    ShellExec('open', ExpandConstant('{app}\batch.bat'), '', '', SW_SHOWMINIMIZED, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResultCode);

DSG_Module.iss

Code:

[Files]

Source: "Include\batch.bat"; Flags: dontcopy

Batch.bat

Code:

WemTool.exe -d

If you decide to use WemTool with batch file, you will see the actual progress of it.

It works fine here. I tested 3 different DSG versions, including 2.0.2.3 from this thread.
