DiskSpan GUI

[Kriogenik]

I asked in the Newbie Question thread for any generic answers, but decided it may be best to ask here for specifics.

Is there a way to bypass the 255-character limit with installations? A game I am repacking has a file that is in a structure 245 characters long, which doesn't leave much room for an installation path when installing with the installer, and it errors out when the install path is long.

Thanks for this GUI and the sample installer script, both have been very helpful.

if install path exced 259 character try adding \\?\ before path

\\?\C:\folder\etc\etc\install folder\

I tried this after reading the comment as per the user above as well and get an error that ? can not be used in directory or filenames.

For now, I have renamed the affected files to reduce their characters by a lot and written a bat file that is executed when unpacking is done, that renames them back to their original names. This avoids the error and allows some semblance of a real installation path.

i'm facing another issue
when i try the unreal-engine plugin by razor on xtool, it "sometimes" gives me different results than DSG

the following sample file is one of stellar blade .utoc files, it's an UnrealEngine 4 game, through xtool app "0.8.9 & 0.7.9HF" it's compressed properly using both UE4 or UE5 plugin with kraken precompressor

xtool method

ue4:k0x014AEC0148FBDEE9640633AAB67521AAB4E1083A98F76FF33DDCF78DAD05BE66+kraken

however on DSG, i always get 2% compression, so i suppose that the file isn't read properly through precompression


i've tried several methods .. tried both crypted ue4 & ue5 and used AES keys dumped by me. tried to change oodle library manually "not sure if i did it correctly but i tried to cope with ur previous reply to me"

DGS Methods trials

xtool:c32mb:mue4:mkraken:core_2.9.9:dd5:l10,d128mb
xtool:c32mb:mue4:mkraken,l9:9+xtool:dd5:l10
xtool:c32mb:d1:mue4,k0x<key>:mkraken,l9:9+xtool:dd5:l10
