Nice... You have learned to configure DiskSpan.bat perfectly.
Very good!

I attached updated DiskSpan.bat
- Fixed when just creating 1 disc, sometimes it did not rename the folder from "DVD_1" to "DVD" so the size returned wrong: "Output Size: 0 Byte".

Thank you dear mausschieber for your all works and convertors. But it seems there are some problems in this convertor and installer.

It seems there are numbers of files compressor can't do anything with them and there are some pictures of "Borderlands" in installer!

Conversion Updated

[KaktoR]

You can use this plugin to precompress this game. It works for game version Hotfix #4 (17 August 2023).

To update the xtl file when a new update comes out, you have to use bms2xtool with lspk_mod_R3.bms script with the following config.

[Config]
SafeMode=1
UserInput=
Exclude=copy
gzip=zlib
deflate=zlib
zlib_noerror=zlib
deflate_noerror=zlib
XMemDecompress=xmemcompress
lz4=lz4hc:l9

It seems this DiskSpan software cant find xtool:mbg3 method files.
Installer is incompatible with mbk2:df20p method and returns ISDone.dll error.
Compression method of data3 removes about 8GB of some sound data files and the installed game by using this method will almost have no sound.

And also shortcut address must be "{Game Folder}\bin\bg3.exe"

Then just update to latest DiskSpan_GUI version, not that hard to replace the files.
Also use the attachment here and follow the instructions to generate a new xtl file for the new game version.

I still have error at the beginning of compression and I think I am doing something wrong.
I update the DiskSpan_GUI to 1.0.8.0, added BG3.7z files content, add lspk_mod_R3.bms file to "\Resources\TOOLS\Bms2XTool\Scripts" folder and replace those scripts to bms2xtl.ini file.

(However I think in best situation this will solve only the problem of bg3 method in data1 file and two other will remain.)

Thanks a lot dear mausschieber. I used DiskSpan of Robocop convertor, Update it and select its Baldur's Gate (who convert and compress date in 5 parts). Then added BG3.7z files content, add lspk_mod_R3.bms file to "\Resources\TOOLS\Bms2XTool\Scripts" folder and replace those scripts to bms2xtl.ini file. But still have the same problem. I think I'm doing something wrong . So can you please remake the convertor with built in mbg3 method?

[KaktoR]

1. Download attachment and extract it somewhere
2. Edit "bms2xtl_generate.bat" and change game path
3. Start "bms2xtl_generate.bat" and wait for it to finish
4. Copy "Resources" folder to DiskSpanGUI folder and replace all files when prompted
5. Go to "Resources\PRE\XTool_2020\Plugins" folder and open bg3.7z
6. Replace the bg3.xtl inside the 7z archive with the one you have created before
7. Open DiskSpanGUI.exe and select game folder and start

With each new game update you have to recreate the XTL file and replace it before compressing the game. In next DSG version this process will be done automatically.

PS: I cannot upload anything here. Attachment: https://pixeldrain.com/u/CcXnwY34

EDIT: Before doing the conversion, open DSG_Settings.ini and remove the red part!
