[precompressor]RLECOMP

[TheGh0stie13]

a tool to precompress and decompress your data!
Status: porting to F# 7.0
writen in Jetbrains Rider,in F#

!!! THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL THING AND BY DOWNLOADING THIS YOU ACCEPT THAT THERE IS A CHANCE FOR DATA CORRUPTION!!

ARC.ini is included

USAGE,COMP.exe
COMP.exe -cn [in] [out] (nothing happens)
COMP.exe -C [in] [out] (files get expanded via R.L.E)

Usage,DECOMP.exe
DECOMP.exe [in] [out]

Where and on what kind of data can this compressor be used well?? The RLE algo is pretty old. Is this kind of compression possible in games? (except: icons, tga)

Any test results?

416KB pdf to 863KB pf when used on its own (its meant to do this)
then compress with extnernal compressor (FARC,LZMA,XZ,UHARC, ETC) using LZMA it got it to around 200KB +-1%

Nice

Compressed 1 file, 558,369,909 => 1,106,576,294 bytes. Ratio 198.18%
Compression time: cpu 0.41 sec/real 32.94 sec = 1%. Speed 16.95 mB/s
All OK

Footnote:Yes it is meant to expand it,now just run an external compressor

Hi, what is the use case of this program or it is universal? I ask because so far the tests I've run do not produce better results than when I just compress files using lzma. Also DECOMP at times gets stuck and produces output of several GBs when in fact my input was only a few mb and other times, the original input and output do not maintain perfect crc.

I have uploaded a sample where most of the problems occur unless if I'm not using the tool correctly :)

26,8 MB > 34,6 MB (rlecomp) > 7,60 MB (lzma2)
26,8 MB > 7,07 MB (lzma2)

when decoding that 34,6 MB file I get 3,84 GB which is way bigger than my original input (it's actually bigger than this I just cancelled the rest of the process) :o

add -D after DECOMP.exe to see if that fixes it

Adding that parameter refers me back to the actual usage of the program.

Usage: DECOMP.exe input_file output_file
