Requested by wit

1. Install the game. Update game to latest version.

2. Download attachment, extract to HD, NOT in Gamefolder.

3. Run UltraARC, Browse/Select Your game folder, then choose output location, & compression method.

4. Test the conversion, before burning ISO.

5. Then burn folder contents to DVD.

Thanks Pakrat2k2 for conversion
Using 102 gb conversion and Xzlib,srep & lolz compress method produce 9xDVD5
From 103 gb->35.7 gb
Last dvd just 1.13 gb
Install and test play works without no problem

[prudislav]

yep the game is quite nicely compressable ... with just -m3 i got it to 67GB from 103

This game hasn't zlib at all. Use Drag&Drop4ZLib or GFS to check the files.

Game archives are just uncompressed, that's why compression is good.

Sorry KaktoR i don't know how to use that:D
Srep + lolz is enough to compress this game?

in best compression methods topic there is a post that says to use this
-msrep:m3f:a16:d1g+lolz:tt8:d128m:mt4:fba0:mc1023:g m20
which will end up compressing game from 103GB to 33GB..

But i'm not sure how it has to be entered in custom compression ( option 18 )
for it to use it. I've tried exactly how its listed but gives an error.
Maybe KaktoR can provide an answer/ soultion.

Did you delete the space from "gm 20"?

srep:m3f:a16:d1g+lolz:tt8:d128m:mt4:fba0:mc1023:gm 20

[pakrat2k2]

yes no space there.

dunno what's wrong but gives error on option "d1g" from method above.

using the method from KaktoR's post its supposed to end up with 6xdvd5, but as you can see its giving an error

[KaktoR]

Then remove this option

Will try again with those compress method
Btw how much time do you need to compress hitman 2 with srep+lolz?
I'm with xzlib,srep + lolz 10 or 11 hours

you were told before there are no zlib streams so pointless to use that option.
most other options take 3-4 hours... using this & says will take 3 hrs to complete ( of course depends on hardware.

[pakrat2k2]

thanks for the post Simorq, but after starting with those settings, it has started slowly climbing upwards... last time I had checked it was over 112 hrs !!!!!

I'll go back to option I had tried earlier, option 2 ( SREP + 4x4:LZMA ) & live with dvd 1-8 4.37 & dvd9 680MB.

[KaktoR]

Those hours are never real time. Last time I was using lolz it told me 16 hours or so. In fact it was only 7 hours.

[pakrat2k2]

the time I wrote was in fact after leaving it run for 8 hrs, without anything else being done.

w10x64, 32 GB ram. Most others do start saying 10-12 hrs, but are usually complete in only 3-4 at most so far. Maybe I'll try it again with those just let it run overnight.


srep:m3f:a4+lolz:tt8:d128m:mt4:fba0:mc1023:gm20


gave error about lolz & after removing that, error on the tt8....

I am a noob, could you please tell me what is the best compression method using diskpan and also how to use
'-msrep:m3f:a16:d1g+lolz:tt8:d128m:mt4:fba0:mc1023:g m20' this

Could you update the HDD size?
The final version after all the patches is 149 GB (i dont think there is gonna be some other patch before third game)

TRY:
Create a text file and save it as Setup.ini.
Enter the text below and place the Setup.ini file next to Setup.exe.
[InstallOptions]
GameSize=149000

[prudislav]

thx , works fine

[Stveboss]

Not bad this got 36.5gb iso from a 110gb install, takes about hour install but thats the size of game for you and works fine.

Needs updating..
