Streams: 4382 / 4382
Time: 00:00:26 (CPU 00:02:24)

Size: 374 MB >> 1.05 GB

Now see what oodle core library you have to use.

You can do it bro.

Use Kraken, right? but don't use something like :core_#.#.#? because I read your post on "How to use Diskspan GUI v2+" but I still don't understand

In the diskspan gui "core_x.x.x" is a fake parameter that will be removed from the command line before compression.
This parameter is used to tell DiskSpan GUI which oodle library (oo2core_#_win64.dll) should be copied to the XTool folder before compression (The same oodle library will be included in Setup.dll).
If you don't know the supported versions, you can open the Oodle_Libs.7z file inside the "..\ADDONS\Libraries\Oodle" folder to find out which versions are currently supported as a fake parameter (The fake parameter is exactly the name of the folder inside the 7-Zip archive such as "core_2.6.3").
Usage example:
NOTES: In the first example, the "393b" parameter is also a fake parameter to inform which version of srep.exe will be used.

xtool:mkraken:core_2.7.6+srep_new:393b+LZMA-MT
xtool:mkraken:core_2.9.9+xtool:dd3+LZMA-MT
xtool:mkraken:core_2.9.5:dd3+LZMA-MT

thanks for the explanation, but I tried putting the .pak file in oodle_ver but it got an error. How do I find out the correct libraby/compression method to use for this game based on posts from KaktoR? i know to use kraken but i don't know which one to use
