Oh OK, but it didn't work at all. Anyway noted :-)

When game presets have multiple methods per data file, how are those differentiated / applied?

For example

Data1.Name=Data1.bin
Data1.Method1=xtool:dd3+LZMA-MT|0
Data1.Method2=xtool:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL|0
Data1.ExclText=*.zip|*.minizip|*.bk2

Is this method 1 then method 2 or Xtool somehow splits the content? Thanks.

Method# are just presets you can choose from if you want.

[sirdystic]

Thanks so much. So just a choice.

nb - that beta will crash on anything that closes out using FAZIP with error 0x0000142

I worked out that it is missing FAcompress.DLL and FAcompress_MT.DLL from the WIN64 folder. Not sure if that is why it is crashing though.

[KaktoR]

What method and settings you are using? It does not crash here.

So like Method1=xtool:mzlib:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL|0

At the end when it goes to write out the final bin file using FAZip it crashes instantly. As far as I can see those files are missing from Resources\Win64 and are needed for FAZip. Unless I screwed up somewhere. Anyway this is the nature of using a beta :-)

fazip is not used for any of these methods.

OK here is the full list I am using just in case I got it wrong. I can assure you it pops up with error 142 in FAZip.exe (packing FH5) using the 64 bit GUI - it doesn't complete.

Data1.Name=Data1.bin
Data1.Method1=xtool:mzlib:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL|0
Data1.InclText=*.zip|*.minizip
Data2.Name=Data2.bin
Data2.Method1=xtool:c512mb:mbk2:df20p|0
Data2.InclText=*.bk2
Data3.Name=Data3.bin
Data3.Method1=xtool:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL|0
Data3.ExclText=*.zip|*.minizip|*.bk2



And thank you so much for your work on the game presets database by the way Kaktor. I gather those are from you.

Could you send me some sample files to test with? If that happens on any single files from the game.

Current version FH5, your database settings, after the first data file prepare and LOLZ compress are both successfully complete, it tries to write out an ~80GB file (from 130GB) using FAZip.exe and fails immediately. So it is not any input file in particular but the part of the creating the final bin file process that fails.

Anyway I have added those 2 apparently missing DLL files to the Win64 folder and am running it again. As this is 170GB source, it's going to take ~5 hours to see if it now completes.

Maybe FAZip is only used above a certain file size or something if it works without this for you? I guess Cesar would know.

[KaktoR]

You can see for what fazip is being used in DSG_Arc.ini file (search for fazip).

[sirdystic]

I have not changed the INI file from the Beta you posted above, bar I tried changing the FAZip32 entries to FAZip, but it still crashes even with those DLLs now in the folder.

Still doing it, can't work out why:

Does this happen on a single game file aswell? (Instead of the whole game).

Still isn't right after much trying. Going to reset Windows to make sure it isn't OS related.

So did a reset, installed almost nothing on OS, still get the same issue with FAZip. However if I pick a smaller subset of the game, it completes, so assume it's in someway size related.

[sirdystic]

So, if I don't use Xtool it works. If the output of Xtool is less about 30GB it works. If output of Xtool is greater than about 30GB (after mzlib preflate) then it fails.
