Help Me Fix this compression/encryption error!

Is there a limit to filesize when encrypting data in rmxp?
I CANT get it to work, and it wont for for 2 of my partners either.
We get an error about the Title Image. If i take that file out...its another file. forever.
If i compress it doesnt work.
If i compress and encrypt it doesnt work.
I dont know what to do....
Please Help.
Current size=220MB


The compressed file is 128 Mb everytime.
Even if i take out 20-30 mb worth of material.
And, its only un/compressing half of the graphics folders.
Thats why i get the picture file error. The folder isnt even there.
So its got to be a compression error.
Any clues?

Ive been testing for about 6 hours, different theorys, and i CANNOT get an encrypted game thats bigger than 128mb to work.
Can somebody else PLEASE try, and see if you can get one biggeer than 128 to work?
Post your results here PLEASE
If the prject is 120mb it works 100%
if i go over 128 it doesnt work.
Same for three other people.
I put one 200mb file into an empty project, and error there also.
I put 6000 images into a project and it worked, and thats more files than my game has, so thats not it.
Also, what is the test002 file that shows up....anybody else get that after 128 mb?
I only have it show up after 128 mb.
Test.002, thats the name.
 
No, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure world in danger is 543MB, and I think it's encrypted.
Are you sure you hit Compress Game Data, Outputted it to the desktop, then Create Encrypted Archive?
 
That it cant find it.

Its there though.

So obviously something is wrong with the compression/encryption or something.

I choose compress game date, click the encryption button.

Then when it try to decompress it, i get an error.

Even without encryption.

Its somehting to with the compression i think.
 
Yes the game works fine before i compress.

it stops at 128 Mb everytime.

Even if i take out 20-30 mb worth of material.

Okay, its only uncompressing half of the graphics folders.

Thats why i get the picture file error. The folder isnt even there.

What do you mean the folder isn't there. You have all the standard folders in the project right?
 
So... you've tried taking out the graphics folder entirely?  *can't tell from your post*

I've heard of this before, and the person had a corrupted file somewhere.  Not necessary the file that the program stops at; it turned out to be a corrupted audio file.

Try taking EVERYTHING out, and add it back in one at a time.

This might take a very long time....i got ALOT of files.....thousands.....i guess ill have to try though....

And no, i havent tried taking out every folder individually yet.

Don't rip out the graphics folder. Rip out the graphics from within that folder. Package them separately in a rar/zip. Include instructions on where to piece the stuff together when they have all the content together. Do the same for audio assets if they are too large. It is kind of funny that it stops on a power of 2. Sounds like a built in limitation.

I have tried it with a 200mb project. It gives an error upon extraction. It also generates the same file Test.002. Probably all the left over stuff that was missed but for some reason doesn't link with the extractor. Or the extractor doesn't look for the file.

This is EXACTLY what happens to me.  I need to find a way aorund this.

I understand the problem. Have you tried contacting the software creators about this problem. They would know best.

The only solutions I can provide as I have above:
1.) Less than 128MB encrypted game.
2.) Unencrypted game.

Do you know of any games that have had encryption that were larger than 128? Perhaps you could contact the creator and seek a resolution?
