Can I make an FOLDER size smaller?or just to look smaller like to give Fake info to anything that reads it?Without compressing

[sexy.boy5866]

without compressing or winrar it.

I have a software that can do this but on files..not on folder

Ive seen a cmd command that allows you to make a file with Specific size.Can it make a folder too?
was sth like fsutil create new D:name length

A folder has no size, but what files are in it.

Why are you wanting to do this? What is the use case here?

 

[sexy.boy5866]

i want to add the folder to a VPK extension

 

[sexy.boy5866]

when i did it with 100 or 200 mb worked and with 1gb failed so thats why i need to make the folder LOOK smaller

As said, a folder has no "size". The files in it do.
Reduce the size of the files. Either compression, or reduce the image size, or reduce the bitrate on audio.

the funny thing is I have extracted the files from VPK extension and now I want it to add them back to a new one but I can only with 1 of the folders with lower size..thats kinda weird I guess you have no solution for it since is about valve/game extension

Were they compressed in any way in the original location?

WinRAR = they were compressed.

 

[sexy.boy5866]

I know about winrar I have no clue about vpk :c

 

[sexy.boy5866]

I thought I can make a folder show a specific size with a cmd command like fsutil

 

[sexy.boy5866]

and I guess if I zip/winrar my folders it will not be read the same,or wont be read at all
the same with compressing them
but if they will be read the same let me know and Ill try that

Again, WinRAR = they were compressed.
You're trying to forcefit your particular files into a premade VPK container.

Time to learn exactly what the VPK is, and how to actually use it.

 

[sexy.boy5866]

probably you are right..thats so sad nobody found out a way to fake the folder size it could be so useful
thanks for your time guys Ill figure it out without trying the impossible XD

https://fileinfo.com/extension/vpk

read that. there is a vpk.exe you are supposed to use to compress folders

 

[sexy.boy5866]

https://fileinfo.com/extension/vpk

read that. there is a vpk.exe you are supposed to use to compress folders

I did since I had to know how to open it but unfortunately doesnt say anything about how to make the file

 

[popatim]

But it Did:

You can create VPK files using the vpk.exe command line tool located in the game directory.

What about just making this folder hidden?
Or duplicate that one and make it hidden.
