error code -11 decompression fails (archive data corrupted)

SREP 3.93a beta - i'm using this version for a while and never got error like this.

i have tried spidey+srep+4x4 same error. so there is problem with xtool or srep

ScOOt3r · #**3077** 19-08-2022, 12:07

This is what i did and it worked fine for me

bin\arc.exe a -ep1 -dses --dirs -s; -lc- -di -i2 -r -w_Temp -mxtool+srep+lolz Output\data1.bin "data1\*
packcmd = xtool\xtool.exe precomp -mspidey -c32mb -t100p --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>

copied spidey.dll 210 kb and liblz4.dll 439kb into the xtool directory
my srep.exe is 498KB

not sure if this will help but it worked for me

Cheers

Thanks more infos. (Use installer from decompress the archive and srep versions.)

Make three blank folder! (Naming in: Test1/2/3)

Copy these files to all three folder: Arc.exe, unarc.exe, all xtool files, correct arc.ini, correct cls.ini and all lolz files.

Copy the files to Test1 folder: SREP.exe (x86 or x64 versions) and replace the 3.93a executable to 3.92a (use official binaries) and testing now.* Not working? Replace the 3.92a to 3.2 and try again.

Copy the files to Test2 folder: Old v0.3.3 cls-srep.dll file only! (87552 byte) and testing now.

Copy the files to Test3 folder: Newest (any version)** cls-srep.dll, cls-srep_x86/64.exe files. And testing now.

See posting testing results. All methods, not working, try recompress again the data files use SREP 3.92 or 3.2 (From v3.92 my preference, -m3f -a0 -l512 -c512)

*Open CMD window with admin rights and execute the commands:
"Arc.exe t archivefile"
Its ok or not, try use unarc.exe again: "unarc.exe t archivefile" (There are cases when this is almost good, but not with Arc.exe. Rare case. Decompression its ok, with error message.)
**Note: Too many cls-srep versions available! That's the problem with him.

I know this is early access, but nevertheless I will post it for later purposes (or something else).

liblz4 v1.8.0 is used for this

SD Gundam Battle Alliance uses Oodle Kraken compression. Despite the fact the game does have a hexadecimal key, the UCAS / PAKs aren't encrypted so you can just use oo2reck:

Code:

liblz4 1.9.3 was used.

Sometimes precompression aborts randomly, even with batch file with different arc.ini settings for -t and -c options (xdelta dll is in place). I don't know if it's a plugin or xtool problem or something else.

PS: --dbase parameter must be removed from xtool settings

Precompression was fine for me (liblz4 v1.9.2, no XDelta DLL present), precomp and decode was flawless.

KaktoR · #**3084** 25-08-2022, 06:36

Thanks, maybe it was either the xdelta dll or lz4 library.

I will investigate further.

PS: What -t and -c settings you used for xtool?

Edit: Same error happens randomly

Code:

Compressing 62 files, 47,322,268,354 bytes. Processed  30.6%
ERROR: write error (disk full?) in compression algorithm xtool:msr22

liblz4 1.9.2

no --dbase parameter

Well without xdelta dll ratio is always 100%

However I will leave this here just in case

Whoops, I figured out I have xdelta injected into my XTool.exe and forgot.

My mistake. Apologies.
