Crash when opening large .pak files

[CHLukeW]

Works for small files (ca. 200MB) crashes when trying to open larger files (ca. 2GB)

So far I have only noticed this issue when opening data005.pak (base-game pak). I chalked it up to that file being different and never really thought too much of it, Are you having this issue with more than one pak? If so which pak(s) was it.

Works for:
core.pak
shaders-dx12.pak
data006.pak
Crashes for:
data.pak
data001.pak-data005.pak

Unfortunately, the released it crashes for files larger than 500MB
when recompiling the source, only data005.pak crashes, so under 2GB is fine and the full Arma Reforger Experimental can be Explorer.
Later the internal files e.g. will it also be possible to unpack .xob?
Thanks

Hey, appreciate the reply on here. My apologies for not looking into it. I made the library awhile back and now it needs to be rewritten a little bit to incorporate some new found knowledge I've learned on the PAK file structure. I can't make promises for a date and time but I can say that this project is in my scope currently. I would say you can expect an update within the month. Parsing was more of a prototype that I incorporated into this program for testing my Enforce grammar, but I don't think I will do much refining regarding it.

Later the internal files e.g. will it also be possible to unpack .xob?

Yes I plan to create libraries for interacting with most filetypes used in Reforger. I only draw the line on encrypted formats as Bi has specifically voiced their opinion on such libraries. Currently the XOB format is lacking in information, but I will ask around and see if its okay legally to create such a library.

hello, you have solved the problem with large files. You can share the new tool of your new version.???

Thank you for releasing this tool, it's great. I am experiencing crashing on certain, large mods. For example, when I try to unpack the data.pak in this mod, it crashes:
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/5AE50EC5B8D6F4AE (size of PAK: 339,066 KB)
But when I unpack this one, it works fine:
https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/60AD58012EA4A317-DarkgruNATOOverhaul (size of PAK: 419,236 KB)

I don't think it's caused by size, because the latter mod is bigger than the first but unpacks just fine.

Thanks again for your work, hopefully this helps with troubleshooting. If there's any additional info I can provide to help, just let me know.

@smithb895 Did you have any luck with your .pak extraction. I am also having similar issues. I'm not sure if flipper is still working on this tool. Great tool by the way ! :)

I've been using the other "Enfusion pak unpacker" for a long time now,
I modified the code so that it unpacks everything when assigned to a pak file.

Would you be able to explain how to, or even share your customized version ?

Awesome thanks @Rendszerguru - @claudejdev you will need to compile the source locally.

Fixed: The original Enfusion pak unpacker was truncating the end of files when decompressing localization.conf files.
