Extreme Black Box compression - how ?

[hydefromt70s]

Welcome my friends!

Currently working on a repack of Far Cry 4.
I noticed that the Black Box released his repack of this game, which is 12.4GB. My question is: how the hell is it possible?

The game normally takes about 25GB after removing unnecessary language (other than English). I spend almost a third day on this game and I was able to pack it to the size of about 18GB. Game files are not susceptible to PRECOMP, so I use compression SREP + lzma.

Can someone explain to me how they were able to get such a small size?

Look in "C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Temp\" localize temporary files of setup to know their methode.
If you want to remove English, to keep only French example, you will have to rename like this: fcc_main_french.dat to fcc_main_english.dat after having everything rename, simply add the registry key corresponding for your language:
Root: HKC U; SubKey: Softw are \ Ubi soft \ FarCr y4 \ 420; ValueType: string; ValueName: Langu age; ValueData: fr-FR; Flags: uninsdeletevalue uninsdeletekeyifempty

Sorry for my bad English :cool:

I removed already foregin languages and kept only english files. And know also about registry keys.

I Have installed parallel version RELOADED (I repack based on this version) and the BlackBox. I removed unnecessary files and they take exactly the same size as the version of BB, and yet repack BB is much better compressed.

During the installation of BB repack, can't see anything interesting in the temporary folder (see attachment file). By default, SREP PRECOMP and Unarc files.

So what does this mean? That their repack was compressed using PRECOMP and SREP? But I checked each file using PRECOMP and none were susceptible to its effects (.pcf file had the same size, hasn't increased).

I'm convinced that the devil is in the compression commands, but I don't know them :(

Any ideas? Anyone?

I do not have the setup version, but what I see, I can tell that it uses precomp 0.38 packjpg, after you have properly selected the files for precomp.

Ok, let it be banned. Just trying to understand the compression method used in the repack and I don't see anything wrong with that ....

So let's focus on the problem ...

[Dante1995]

There are many newbies who read the post, unload the box in question take the risk of a virus just to figure out the compression method, for this you can understand that it is not good to give examples with black box repack that you already downloaded to your pC reading the screen ... just saying. you can have a repack of Far Cry 4 18GB, I would say (it even much less) do it this way.

_EZEKiEL_ No problem you just responded to a comment my friend

Try this method:

For Srep+Rep+Exe+Delta+Lzma+Arc Only
-msrep+rep:512mb+exe+delta+lzma:1gb:273:ht4:mc512

[hydefromt70s]

Try this method:

For Srep+Rep+Exe+Delta+Lzma+Arc Only
-msrep+rep:512mb+exe+delta+lzma:1gb:273:ht4:mc512


Nope, the output file is even slightly larger than using the standard commands: -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8

I ran a little test and I noticed two things.

In the attached screenshots on the left side is my sample file, and on the right side original file from BB repack (I omit the issue of the size of the input file - this is just a sample).

In the first screenshot, in my case, we can see significantly lower average of blocksize 122MB compared to BB 12GB file. How can I increase the size of blocksize ??
http://i57.tinypic.com/a0j4w0.jpg

In the second screenshot you can see that I used the same method of compression, but in the case of BB you see two types of compression: Storing (posit. Size 0, compress. 0 ???) and then use the method of SREP + lzma. Someone can explain it to me ??

bsize -s12gb

why the hell do so much confusion that does not help, you have opted for options like: audio resampling, resampled video, languages, and so on.
do you think these guys are geniuses (you are wrong) maybe read many tutorials on the functions and methods of conversion or maybe they have their own deck, perhaps playing yugioh ;)

[hydefromt70s]

bsize -s12gb

Thank you for this switch - will check it tomorrow.

I did it! Finally, after many attempts I managed to compress this game to repack the BB size, and more! My folder was about 1GB bigger (25.8GB), and I managed to compress it to 12.9GB - 0.2GB less than BB repack! Yeyyyy! :)

http://i61.tinypic.com/63rchy.jpg

It seems that compression using SREP is more effective when we use it on a SINGLE LARGE file, rather than smaller packets of data. So first compress the entire folder with the game using 7z or arc (can't remember), without the compression level and then I treated this large single file with the SREP. It gave me the final file size 12.9GB.

The riddle was, at least partially, solved;)

And now there is another problem, but with this I invite you to THIS (http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=96460)topic ;)

Far Cry 4 repacked to 6.7 GB, that's insane compression, we are CorePack, the showstopper B-)

Corepack for Far Cry 4 is used rebuild archives. Then it has a smaller size of compressed but again increased in size after unpacking. :confused: :confused: :confused:

[CoreGames]

^40% true, that didn't help actually. Rebuilding the game archives made the size possible to 11 GB only, done by KacTus Repack Team

One thing I want to say is, create conversion for original game as some people like me has limited download speed.

And can you please tell me the guy name who came to you ? Cause I am the only one who repack games in the team and never did I met you in the past. Though I know Razor12911, he's my friend and very good in making installer. He's the guy who helped out in making our installer.

Last thing, Far Cry 4 is not the only repack for which we are famous.

[exorc]

Corepack repack far cry: Without dlcs, one language and use srep64 and precomp043

No patches files, no hd textures, no music files...

[exorc]

which is the best script compression?

MSC+PRECOMP+SREP+LZMA 64bits and precomp 042 not found?

[pakrat2k2]

precomp only adds a ton of time to compression / uncomression NOT worth the extra time.

who wants to take 3-4 hours to install game compressed with precomp ? because it takes just as much time to uncompress as it did to compress it with precomp.

I want Archive.ini with three disk's Setup-1.bin,Setup-2.bin,Setup-3.bin

[chum]

CoreGames

They dont share their methods. But in most cases you can only use srep+lzma and will achieve good results for FC4.

I get mine with 1.9+ all DLC's to around 14gb using only SREP+lzma, so no big deal here. Of course i removed all foreign audio languages and keep only english+my own. The other audio files were around 7gb space wasted.
Audio and Video are not compressed so you should get rid of audio files you dont need.

[rabbit0x1]

i dunno if this gonna help but sometimes you can replace media files like .bik from an xbox360 game , it's wayyyy smaller than the pc version.
it isn't my idea , it's MartinzPL's (if i'm correct)

[Stor31]

Bizard !!!!! :confused::confused:
nobody knows
the method .....
not rocket science :D:D:D:D

[ravencrow]

send your game's setup.exe i'll show your data password.I've cracked just cause 2

why don't you do something of you own instead of stealing someone else's work? those files are password protected due to a reason.do you have any idea how much effort they put on making repacks?

encourage them to continue their work

[pakrat2k2]

I've DELETED all of 1234567890123's useless posts that do nothing for this topic.

If someone would be so kind as to write a detailed tutorial on all of these compression methods used, and their best possible usage scenarios in details, I think it would prove useful to a lot of us, including people like me who are new to this. Some of the compression tutorials found in this forum is so vague..

If you don't want to mess with Freearc command line compression, you can use UltraARC GUI from razor12911, BB script support it and it's really easy to use.

[pakrat2k2]

some games just compress better then others. You can try adding precomp BUT that will increase the compression & decompression times considerably.

hi bro,
if you use precomp then time for compression and decompression is more.

I don't post any new things. if you try Black_Box_Script_By_Kurutucu_V1.8 compressor and others That may use precomp for compression.

Link:http://www.fileforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=6493&d=1371369297

In the linked attach file ,uses two powerfull compression technique.
1.Precomp+srep+Arc
2.srep+arc

open compress.bat in notepad And edit as your need.

That guy need to learn, they hide their compression switches in arc.ini which you can't see using ArcInfo with FreeARC, and their compression isn't universal, it changes according to games.

You repack games in E:/ drive????? :D

i mean does anyone want to know corepack data password of all games because i have a trick to see corepack password

Its good that you have that password but as I have observed the secret of CorePacks small repacks aren't in their direct compression......With password you can only see how the .cpack file was compressed but not the total compression......... So, its better to work & explore the finite possibilities of compression than just to copy.......

LOL.....Such big lecture...I must be becoming a leader....

Nope, not just in E, also in D and F drive.

Well at least GTA 5 & MadMax were repacked there :p

[1234567890123]

i think precomp+srep+delta+lzma codes can be improve if they hide in arc.ini.
edward99: the cpack password is useless we should focus on precomp+srep+delta+lzma they are using this compressors.

Nothing special.

GTA V CorePack for example, they used Reflate. Every big file (excepting a few ones) were reflated, compressed with Precomp and after that compressed again with SREP+LZMA.

Precomp -brute0
reflate can not handle more than 4GB of files, use the precomp in brute mode result is the same but the unpacking faster! But do not forget that the usual hdd packing becomes duty!
ps do not spoil your hard disk by using reflate in their repack! SSD can withstand a number of small files, no hdd after recording 2-3 times drive to the dump!

ps do not spoil your hard disk by using reflate in their repack! SSD can withstand a number of small files, no hdd after recording 2-3 times drive to the dump!

Reflate is the fastest deflate software you can find....The only big differece b/w reflate & precomp is that precomp keeps compiling all processed deflate streams in one .pcf file whereas reflate keeps it separate...

There are many ways with which you can even fast up your decompression in reflate. For example use multiple threads for hif to raw conversion......

As for size limit, I never experienced a single error on that :confused:...... Also you can change solid block size to overcome that problem......

What`s the best command line for using precomp 0.43 in brute mode?

[RamiroCruzo]

What`s the best command line for using precomp 0.43 in brute mode?

precomp -brute0 -cn -t+zgn -d0

Or if you wanna avoid PNG multi parsing (brute mode will catch the streams inside PNGs, but act like reflate for multis), use this:

precomp -brute0 -cn -t+zg -d0

if anyone wants to know corepack password give me any game of corepack installer (setup.exe)

[edward99]

this password cp.,gtv,2ex.pre is for corepack gta 5 (31gb)

[ShadowEagle]

precomp -brute0 -cn -t+zgn -d0

Thanks. But why these parameters?

-cn -t+zgn -d0

Can you give password for Batman Arkham Knight.

[Mini]

it isn't a shame in general? super hackers :D

[gozarck]

And what "info about compression" did he actually give ? Its called stealing mate, I am talking about "edward99" guy just above.

stealing? Are you kidding me?. corepack have a site and offer ilegal copies and foment the piracy.

[CoreGames]

Off course but that doesn't even mean that you (not you actually) start stealing from the illegal people, "stealing" is "stealing", no matter you steal from a good guy or a bad guy. And BTW, even you know that 99% or at least 90-95% of the people, even here download pirated copies of games, if not all games, then most of them for sure.

it isn't a shame in general? super hackers :D

Its nothing about "hacking" LOL, he is using a simple software to see the pass, even I can do that.

Mate, CorePack complete repack for Far Cry 4 - 11.1 GB

includes all DLC's, updates till v1.9, Valley of Yetis DLC too, music & hd textures included. Using Hex Editor go to the last lines = Find the method even FitGirl Repacks you can see the methods in Hex Editor :cool: I just don't have the game to test on :D So Happy Discovering & Don't Forget temp Directory + Hex Editor [Last Lines contain the method] :p

[Sebazz]

What is the Fitgirl method of repack or how to know the password ?

[mikey26]

Guys there is no 1 method to repacking when it comes to fitgirls repacks.Different games different encryptions.different methods to unpacking different large pack files and then repacking them ,also requires the correct md5's.different compressions for different types of files.i have said this before research different file types and how different compressions affect the final compression.

there is no best version of srep and precomp or 7zip its understanding the file types for that title.You might only need srep for a title then next you might need srep uharc precomp.

You also need to sort throught all the different file types to use certain compressions on those and the next set can use something else.

So time to forget the best method that repackers use,there are tons.even if you have all the repacking tools you still need to understand how to apply them.

Times to use the best tool available to find how to compress files and it starts here:

www.google.com :-)

[pas204]

If someone would be so kind as to write a detailed tutorial on all of these compression methods used, and their best possible usage scenarios in details, I think it would prove useful to a lot of us, including people like me who are new to this. Some of the compression tutorials found in this forum is so vague..

I know this is very late to reply, but for new comers out there like me, who are wondering the same question, I'd like you all to read and understand the documentation of freearc..
http://freearc.org/FreeArc036-eng.htm

http://freearc.org/FreeArc040-eng.htm (http://freearc.org/FreeArc036-eng.htm)

From a week I have been searching to understand the compression algorithms and parameters, and then stumbled on those site, it's origin, where it all started :) hope this helps.

Same problem with the far cry 2 repack by corepack, cannot compress to that much, 1.9gb. I can make it almost 2.14gb using srep+lzma, coz the files doesn't have zlib streams

[ZakirAhmad]

@Viper645: Check compression ratio, not final size... I bet they might have removed something or degraded video quality... When ot comes to corepack, it is about rips not repacks.... Useless corepacks...
Fitgirl repacks are good but Installation sucks... it sometimes take ages to Install...Inorder to save few Mbs FitGirl repacks take hours to Install and almost use all resources for doing the task....

That's why I always avoid this repacks, and I always make my own repacks to save my disk space.


And Viper645, you should check freearc's max compression, that makes fc2 2.08gb, smaller than 2.14gb

[Viper645]

But I need a script to hook it with inno setup. Anyone help me with it?

No one knows how to hook it up with inno setup? :/

You can easily do it using ISDone

Are the files encrypted and you want to decrypt the original game files?
