Homebrew RELEASE hacPack - Build and Repack NCAs and NSPs

[masagrator]

Hello,
I have an issue while trying to use this tool :

hacpack.exe -o=J:\Test\Repack --type=nca --ncatype=program --titleid=01008D300C50C000 --exefsdir=J:\Test\romUpdate\exefs --romfsdir=J:\Test\romUpdate\romfs

Result obtain:
hacPack v1.36 by The-4n

----> Preparing:
Removing existing temp directory
Creating temp directory
Creating out directory
Creating backup directory

----> Processing NPDM
Validating NPDM
Backing up main.npdm
Zeroing ACID sig
Zeroing ACID key

----> Creating Program NCA:
===> Creating NCA header
Writing NCA header placeholder to =J:\Test\Repack\Program.nca
Failed to create =J:\Test\Repack\Program.nca!

Same Result with GUI (also test with 32/64 version).
Any idea ?
Thanks in advance for your help :-)

Do you have J:/Test/Repack path created? It won't make folder on it's own in -o

Thanks for your reply .
Yes this folder is already created, I have at the end of the operation a "Program.nca" file created but with an unexpected size (very light as is the création process have been interrupted).

 

[masagrator]

And what about keys? Because I don't see argument for it

 

[MManatane]

Thanks for masagrator for your advice, but it still don't works with the Command line. Meanwhile I have retried to make it works with the GUI and manage to make it works (but still can't explain why I have such result with the command line). Is it possible to extract the command line triggered by the GUI to spotted the difference ? Will be really helpful

here appears the message '' max size of string table reached '' is the maximum size 10gb? how to increase this? thanks for the tool.

I was trying to replace some game files with files that I modified to change the language of the dialogs, if you know an easy way to do that it helps me, because when I try to reconstruct the file the game does not work.

I guess you use too much folders (too huge directory depth) + too long file names.
In total the file locations (E:\trtreresv\rgserrse\segresser\srgfser......\drtert.......\ertertge......) are just muuuuuch tooooooo long.

im very noob and very dumb too.
i have this and i dont know how do the next step bc i did one nsp but failed when i tried load it so i suppose i did something bad.

Spoiler: Image

I am using the GUI.

 

[18Phoenix]

Does someone know how to set the RequiredSystemVersion ?

Perhaps you have a "bad" path- or filename. Or the path is too long.
Try it again without any special signs or spaces.

i did all that several times and not gonna bother again i dont know why we have so many apps for extracting but not one up to date for rebuilding

 

[18Phoenix]

All tools use hacktool, there aren't many only this one.
Extracting is relatively simple in contrast to building new files.

What exactly was your plan? Editing files? Adding files? What was your target ?

IDK why you're getting this, I've built a few nsps with this by following the docs step by step and it's worked fine. I searched the github for the word "stringtable" from the error you mentioned, and found this file where it says the size of the stringtable can be increased - maybe try fucking with that if you can't get around it any other way.

thats the thing i have used every program like that for Switch and many of them work on one PC but not on other doing the same thing with the exact same setup like this one it gives me same error on nca and nsp btw after it gave me this error for the 50th time it did made the entire nca without showing it has done so but i cant test this nca cause it dosnt build nsp so i wont even bother i want to rebuild a modded XC2 game but i can use the my mod on exfat card and i will stick with that i have to recompile the mod for 2 hours after every change anyway

Strange. Building a NSP out of the NCAs is much less complicated than building special NCAs.

hacpack.exe -k %KEY% -o %TARGETPATH% --keygeneration %KEYGEN% --type nsp --ncadir %SOURCEPATH% --titleid %ID%

%KEY% is the keyfile location
%KEYGEN% is an integer up to 11

Never had problems.
Is the problem coming only in this special case or did it never work for you?

I'm trying to make this work but I get stuck on "Processing NPDM"

I renamed main to mainnpdm and now it's stuck in validating
