DiskSpan GUI

If you use xtool, try lm option

xtool:lm:

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.
Compression configuration: xtool:c16mb:mzlib:dd3+lzma2:d64m:fb128:lc4:mc10000 00:lp0

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

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 He has a newer build I send him some months ago for testing, although it's already outdated the database files should work nevertheless I guess.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.

Thank you for your reply. Is there a manual for WemTool? A video? It's difficult to understand how to use it with DiskSpan and the ‘standard’ ISDone_Example.iss. You can send it to me in a private message.

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

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

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

[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

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

[Files]
Source: "Include\batch.bat"; Flags: dontcopy

Batch.bat

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.

What's the algorithm for Dead Space 2023?

[KaktoR]

zstd

[Butza]

xtool:mzstd Compressed game size: 216,90 MB (Ratio 102.52%) very few((

[KaktoR]

You have to use correct zstd library

Use xtool:mzstd:zstd_145

Thanks, it works) Is there a method to understand what the name should be or just test it?

[KaktoR]

What do you mean by "name"?
