There are currently no changes or corrections made.
It would be better to have more things fixed or updated for a new version.
If you have compressors update or some other update send me.
Thanks!

Seems like DSG is not downloading the xtool anvil plugin (again lol).

I have the same problem here. You have to download it manually in developer mode (run the bat file or hold CTRL key and open DSG exe until it opens -> go to compression settings, then you should see a "Download" tab).

Find and replace "mavil" to "manvil" in [DOWNLOADS] section of the "DSG_Methods.ini" file.

This will be fixed in the next version.

Hello hopefully someone can help me. I have been using diskspan gui for a while and finally decided to update it to the newest version. Seems to be working great and much quicker and had no issues until i went to run the installer and it says Unknown Compression Method. Im wondering if this is something obvious or because my script is too old or what? Maybe some includes are needing to be changed.

Screenshot of the error

I also have logs if those will help
Conversion ARC.log
Conversion LOG.log

Please advise. Im sure its something simple

Perhaps your script is not supported.
Make sure the decompressor files for xtool, srep and lolz are inside Setup.dll (Use FreeArc to open Setup.dll).
If you want me to check it, send me the script you used.

Thanks for the answer, we came to the same conclusion basically. we are trying to update our installer and using a new script using one of the ones that says DSG supports in the first post. If that doesnt fix it ill send you both scripts but hoping to resolve it without further bothering anyone else. Thanks again

Unfortunately the age of that mod impacts compression ratio. If the stdin/stdout and c+d merging was applied to the latest source code, it would be so much better.

Test on a sample jpeg (source)

Code:

Input size: 9,774,095 bytes 

Compression with brunsli compiled here: 7,207,075 bytes

Compression with brunsli mod linked above: 7,247,242 bytes

If I understand all this I can add 7zdll to DiskSpan GUI lol.
But I think the methods that are already in the DSG should be maintained.

Do you recommend adding only the 7zdll/packmp3# methods?

If you want, you can send me a PM with more details so as not to pollute this topic too much.
Thanks!

How do I implement different compression methods for different files/folders for a single game? I see no option in Diskspan that allows you to do that, only compressing multiple games at a time.

KaktoR · #14 16-02-2023, 03:04

Use InclText/ExclText or Groups= in DSG_Settings.ini.

You can check database.ini for plenty of examples.

Hello, in 2.0.1.5 my Bitdefender is quarantining this file every time I run the program:

XHashEx.dll

It says it's a "Gen:Variant.Babar.127901." No idea what that is, and googling it gives me people saying this is a false positive. What does this thing do?
