DiskSpan GUI

[KaktoR]

@César
I have a problem here.

- The file ccff7r.7z will not be extracted to Xtool_2020 folder.
- The file "oo2core_9_win64.dll" will not be added to Setup.dll for some reason.

Compression only works if I manually extract ccff7r.7z to XTool_2020 folder.

I made a mistake here?

What is the best method to compress Assassins Creed Unity using "DiskSpan GUI" ?

It seems there are two different method :

1.AFR 19+SREP+LOLZ
AFR 20 has some bugs & gives error !

2.Anvil Forge+SREP+LOLZ

Which method is better [Better compression results] ?

Updated DiskSpan GUI to v2.0.1.5 in the first post.

- Updated XTool precompressor from v0.6.7 to v0.6.9
- Updated DiskSpan GUI database to version 1.0.6.0 (Thanks to KaktoR).
  >> Now with 331 game presets and 26 collection presets.
- Added new "Image ISO" tab in the group of tools accessed from the "Tools" button (In NORMAL" mode of DiskSpan GUI).
  >> In this tab you can create ISO images from a folder or extract a previously created ISO image.
- Fixed error where the .bms script did not download when needed, returning a missing script error.
- Fixed some bugs found.

Source path to compress external folder

in Game # tab.

Do I have to use Inno Setup constants for documents folder like "{userdocs}" or Windows folder variable like "%userprofile%\documents"? And will this be added to records.ini afterwards?

By default you should use Inno Setup constants like {userdocs}.
The Windows environment variables are not expanded in the ExpandConstant function, so it would be necessary to change all the code for the environment variables to be expanded. I find it unnecessary since Inno Setup variables are popular.

I have a problem here. If I set SourcePath= key like this

SourcePath={userdocs}\Folder

the output path in records.ini is like this

Output={app}\

Shouldn't it use the same path like the SourcePath key? Because the files from "{userdocs}\Folder" will be extracted to {app} in this case.

In xtool ue4 plugin, you have to add 0x before the key, otherwise decryption does not work.

Example

xtool:c128mb:mreflate:d1:mue4,k0x6005F03B0D2DABCD75892C80958FFB00CBA5437AD37EB4BFCD5960FFE0C4E12D

Compressed 1 file, 552,580,759 => 995,427,776 bytes. Ratio 180.14%
Compression time: cpu 0.23 sec/real 14.92 sec = 2%. Speed 37.04 mB/s
All OK

xtool:c128mb:mreflate:d1:mue4,k6005F03B0D2DABCD75892C80958FFB00CBA5437AD37EB4BFCD5960FFE0C4E12D

Compressed 1 file, 552,580,759 => 552,581,284 bytes. Ratio 100.00%
Compression time: cpu 0.20 sec/real 4.74 sec = 4%. Speed 116.58 mB/s
All OK

0x will not be added if you choose the key from the drop down list.

As far as I know xtool doesn't need to use 0x after :k... 0x is only needed for ue4dt:k0x...

I just can say it is required

Here with batch file

Yes I understand. I've seen the results.
It took me a lot of work to code different modes for xtool:mue4 (without 0x) and for ue4dt (with 0x) using the same code.
It would be so much easier if this were already a standard.

This 0x requirement must have been mandatory after the last versions of the unreal plugin.

See that Razor12911 didn't change the description and examples HERE.

I'll change to the next DSG

Great, tell me if you want to share the new version. I have something to share.
