How to use Diskspan with List files (compressing with List files)

Here I will give you a example for a single game for which you have to use List files.

For this you have to edit _Diskspan.bat file (right-click -> Edit).

• DATA Set the archive name (you don't have to add .001 for diskspan archives)
• LIST Set the path + list file (you can name the files to whatever you want)
• METH Set the method for the list files content
• EXCL Set the exclusion file (usually only needed for the last archive). In this file you have to write all previous processed files from previous list files to exclude them.

_DiskSpan.bat

set GAME[1].NAME=Assassins Creed Odyssey
set GAME[1].EXEC=ACOdyssey.exe
set GAME[1].EGPATH=C:\Program Files (x86)\!GAME[1].NAME!

set GAME[1].DATA[1]=Data1.bin
set GAME[1].LIST[1]=Lists\Include1_1.txt
set GAME[1].METH[1]=afr:a2+srep:m3f+lolz:dtb1:d64:mtt1:mt6:mc2:fba4096

set GAME[1].DATA[2]=Data2.bin
set GAME[1].LIST[2]=Lists\Include1_2.txt
set GAME[1].METH[2]=0

set GAME[1].DATA[3]=Data3.bin
set GAME[1].LIST[3]=Lists\Include1_3.txt
set GAME[1].METH[3]=srep:m3f+lolz:dtb1:d64:mtt1:mt6:mc2:fba4096
set GAME[1].EXCL[3]=Lists\Exclude1_1.txt

List files

Include1_1.txt
*.forge

Include1_2.txt
*.webm

Include1_3.txt
*

Exclude1_1.txt
*.forge
*.webm

The following commands

::set GAME[1].BEFO[1]=   Bat file with added functions to be called before compressing the file (GAME[x].DATA[y])
::set GAME[1].AFTE[1]=   Bat file with added functions to be called after compressing and move the file (GAME[x].DATA[y])

are only for special purposes, like file copying or making file/folder backups inside game folder and such.
