[Bug] RPF_INVALID_ENTRY_4: Empty archive entry name

[mdt1337]

Hello, I'm encountering an issue where an SP resource fails to load into the game after being built. When the resource exceeds a certain size, RPF appears to become corrupted (screenshot).

Some details about the resource

• Total items: 4,862 (502 drawables, and textures)
• Final RPF size: 940MB (screenshot)

Which applications cannot open RPF?

• OpenIV
• Codewalker

Extra details

• The same issue occurs when building an SP resource using Durty Cloth Tool
• Smaller resources work completely fine
• The issue is reproducible with this amount of files

RPF Explorer is the only one showing at least something in that case. Something sketchy going on around library commonly used in RPF-related tools

Or there's a total file count limit just like 4 GiG file size limit

One RPF can only hold 65535 files OR folders. Source:

I just ran some tests, and it breaks for me at around 5-6k total files and folders smh. Currently, there are two solutions:

• Split YTD and YDD files into separate RPFs (e.g., with _textures and _models suffixes). The second RPF entry in content.xml should have the overlay value set to true, and the internal folder structure must be identical for it to work. The YMT file can be placed in either RPF archive—it doesn't matter which. However, this approach fails if there are simply too many clothing items overall.
• Split clothing items by component type (e.g., jbib, lowr, etc.) and use DLC patching (you can check out patchday to see how it works). This requires a massive amount of manual work, so an automated script is essential.

In my case i use both options with simple node js scripts.

As for grzyClothTool, I'd recommend either leaving it as-is or implementing a model/texture split by default. Having that many clothes is pretty uncommon
