I think it should only work for you using the command below in Edit referring to "Command prompt commandline to run in installation":
The above command must copy all the contents of the Extras folder that will be next to Setup.exe (Or on the disk that contains the corresponding Data#bin if you save the conversion on discs) to the game installation folder.
If the folder doesn't exist it will fail then you should use something like this:
Simply paste the commandline in Edit for the method that should work.

MacOS compatibility
 

Is this program compatible with MacOS?
If not, could you recommend any good compressor tool for MacOS?

Thanks already, it works very good on Windows 11!

^^
Next to none of the tools and utilities that we use have native Mac versions.

^^
Do you know any?
And thanks for the fast answer!

7Zip has a native Mac version
https://7-zip.org/download.html

I meant something with algorithms that have way lower ratio and different algorithms that can be used for different file types for better compression.
Is this also possible with 7-Zip?

But thanks anyway, definitely better than the built in ZIP "compressor"

DiskSpan GUI v2.0.1.8
 

Updated DiskSpan GUI to v2.0.1.8 in the first post.

Own extension
 

Instead of output as .bim can we change it to any other extension. Like .fg and also the filename like fg01.bin
Fg02.bin

Ofc you can change the extension - but don't copy the work of others! :mad:

No I'm not copying others I have my own site just started to learn about repack can u plz teach me how to do it plz

For me the only thing confusion is records.ini I use light installer it helps me a lot but I'm unable to understand the record.ini

To change the file extension you need to run DiskSpan GUI in DEVELOPER mode and change the file name in the "Data #" tab. But be aware that you need the numeral "1" to indicate which value will be incremented on each disk split (The last character "1" is the character that will be incremented.
If you use name like "Data.dsg" without including "1" character, ".001" will be included after the extension.
You can use something like Data1.bin, Game1.dsg, Data-001.dat, etc (You cannot use destination without an extension like Game01).
Just be aware that you have renamed the destination file of each "Data #" tab with a different name so they don't overwrite the previous one.

Far Cry 4 (Database)
- Method ARC/DS to Data1a-01.bin file: ERROR (xtool_plugin method is not supported)

OS: Windows 11

Which method should I use now :confused:

Database Fix:
Open file ..\\Resources\DATABASE\Database.ini" and edit the text "xtool_plugin" to simply "xtool" in the "[Database: Far Cry 3]" and "[Database: Far Cry 4]" sections.

Also delete the "[Database: Unravel 2]" section (The xtool plugin no longer supports the Unravel 2 game) and change the text "xtool_plugin:munravel1" to simply "xtool:munravel" in the 2 method lines of the "[Database: Unravel]".

Run "DiskSpan GUI" in "DEVELOPER MODE" and reload game from database.

bro as i was doing in developer mode as u said even tho im unable to understand i filled every details in game tab even tho not working wt may be the problem and what should i do , or can u make a video tut on how to use developer mode im confused
and thanks for the records.ini info it worked awesome for me

ERROR: write error (disk full?)

I have sufficient disk space

What is the solution to this problem (i am using the preset methods)

I've run into that error many times. What I think it is is an error with certain compression options or include/exclude having files that don't exist maybe. Unfortunately I don't have any examples, but if I change my compression options the error message doesn't show up and everything works fine.

Hello

Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart I want to compress game
DiskSpan_GUI help with files needed for the filesystem for compression
Razor12911 Can I get some help on adding DiskSpan GUI to the newly created plugin?

Wait!
Soon I will share a new version of DiskSpan GUI with plugin support.

Is there support for compression of audio in opus format

No tools can handle that format.

What is the difference in the compression ratio if i use old xtool in place of new xtool

Test and find out.

Does it mean the old xtool can give better results on some data

Hi,

is there a possibility to BATCH or Queue List game repack :D i not meaning as collection, but for exemple i have 3 DIFFERENT game unpacked (A B C) 10 Gb each, and want to setup this 3 games, i launch at night the repack and have 3 game repacked when i'll wake up :D i have A B C in each folder created, and not necesary to make 1 by 1 each game :D

thanks you

No.
You can only create 3 copies of the DiskSpan GUI folder and run all 3 at the same time. It will take longer, but it will compress the 3 games normally.

Hi, sorry if my message is OOT. When new version DSG is realesed it? Thank you:)

ok well... anyway, i have found a kind solution for make 10 games... and work fine... thank you....

I'm trying to compress a game using Diskspan GUI, using method srep_new:3+LZMA_MT
I'm also splitting the files in custom sizes (say 20GB each)
It creates 3 Disk and using Diskspan GUI, I'm able to unpack all those files as well.
The problem is when I'm trying to extract those files using my installer, it gives me error that files are corrupt.

I might be missing on some files I need to import in my installer, or some modifications in my arc.ini file. Can someone help?

Issue while compressing Scarlet Nexus
 

The new version of scarlet nexus v1.08 uses ue5 + key for compression. However, while trying to compress *.pak files, there is some error. can someone help me in providing the correct algo for compression?

I tried using the same algo but mine is failing with error:

Starfield plugin for dsg
The rest figure out yourself

First of all, thanks @Cesar82 for the wonderful tool.
Just thought i'dd report a little GUI bug, in the predefined compression method window,
the scrollbar does not really scroll. There is only a top of the list or bottom of the list option. This causes some of the options (predefined method new [20]), not to be visible, unless the users selects an option, and uses the arrow keys to scroll up/down.

just to visualize:
https://uptostream.com/a44if9kbpedu

Do you use Windows scaling other than 100%?
If so which one?
Here it works normally. It displays the 2 new items on the first screen, and if you scroll, it displays the 2 old items.

try using scale 100%...

^ I use a dual monitor setup. 1440p at 125% scaling (else its to small to read anything of the screen), and a 1080p at 100% scaling. most apps adjust to the scaling when I drag them over, but this GUI apparently doesn't. it indeed starts up with the 125% scaling which screws with the list view. at 100% scaling it visualizes as intended, but barely readable for me :D

Anyway, I've set the DPI scaling override in the Compatibility tab, to System (Enhanced) and that works as intended. Thanks for the tip.
As nobody else was reporting this, it had to be me. Forgot about the scaling I had set. :D
