The reflate razor made cannot be used in inno
It errors every time you need to have manual reflate for mad max
This is known issue :( I am sorry I cannot help

Reflate is beta tool for now

To show you my Gratitude for your continued support, i decided to roll Masked Compression v2.2

i already posted everything in the main post
so to change climate i will post some photos of my tools under usage :)

if you happen to test them :) give me your honest opinion

A) Would you like for me to add a new feature ??

B) Do you think i missed something important ??

anything you want i will test and add if i see potential

3 pics below: bik encoding using my script, success on decompressing steam folder after using on it all my tools simultaneously , and my new mask on usage offering 18% ratio up from 11%


Enjoy :)

Do not worry I do not update beta versions tester on my utility..;)
You run too much with your masks...:D, you have added the mask for the recompression data in MP3, not hear any difference in the optimization of compression threshold.

Tests executed on a data folder mp3 approximately 234MB

Masked method used for Test: "precomp+msc+srep64+delta+exe2+lz77/$jpgsolid=jpg+zstd/$mp3solid=mp3+zstd/$void=srep64+zstd/$text=nz"

Your update: v 2.2..:rolleyes:

M_S_Kompressor with optimized profile based multi mask By Panker..:)

http://i63.tinypic.com/k4gebm.png

Personally, I may be wrong, I not have so much experience in data compression, but exceed on a number of algorithms containing in the method multi-maschera, involves a loss of a compression stream, increasing the compression time, and decreasing the compression threshold.

Hmmm use the mask directly .... test this maskless

and remove msc :P

both msr and msc can compress mp3 files ...either -mp3=0 or remove msc entirely from the test

to see if my mask really works :P else i need to find what it goes wrong :/

I had already tried...
The compression level of an audio file (*. mp3) and higher using a profile with MSC.
The same level of audio compression the lowers considerably by using MSR.
I'm sorry but I prefer to MSC

panker1992
22-01-2016, 07:16
MSR(precomp0.45) is masked for only mp3 that are found on the folder,
if you pack your music library or photo library you will see difference,

MSR(precomp0.45) as it is now it doesnt replace msc in any way :) but the jpg part of it is worth it and of course its smaller size :P

felice2011
22-01-2016, 07:35
I had noticed the Precomp0.45 disguised as MSR...:D also the warning that you wrote me in arc.ini...:p

ahahaha :D I like your work !!

i put so much effort not to pock you but your Italian and i cant resist :P
no hard feelings about arc.ini :) i respect you very much only wanted to pock you a little

precomp.45 offers a bit of mp3 recompression, along with bug fixes on a long forgotten packjpg.exe 2.5j edition, regarding memory leaks

this is the main reason that i switched to jpg compression with precomp0.45 :P

also jpg with precomp.045 is a little more optimized at least for me

Panker you did a mistake for the Ram Optimization, you didn't added mp3 method in the arc.ini

EDIT - but i copied from the arc.ini orginal from the masked compression 2.2

I get this no matter what method I use to compress the archive, upon extraction, everytime I see this, and DLG's extractor tells me my disk is full (likely needs memory parameter tweaking) -_-

it's high likely that you have a leak somewhere please post what you compress

Compress with version (2.1) posted by Panker, version (2.2) does not use it, I think it works for new updates.
Give it a try and let me know if the extraction works with the DLG Extractor or Decomp Tools.

Edit: disable your antivirus during the operation.

Hello Dear Community, as of yesterday i am fixing a VERY VERY nasty BUG

i haven't finished fixing it , took me longer than i expected

but i hope when its done, Masks will surely look different

regarding this bug, it fixes masked compression file misdetection

i have found that if many masks are used in parallel detection will not work and files will be compressed using different method

so i decided to make new masks from scratch and write a new arc.groups
to make packing detect correctly and use all tools in the process

i am so taken in by this new work, that i didn't even log in the forums :/

allow me some time, and please use absolutely masks 2.1 legacy to work with

thanks for understanding :)

@andrey
i am working on a solution for smooth out the progress (progress.inf)

this will show the correct progress in the future and new precomp0.45 will be used extensively

please use masked compression v 2.1, or wait for v2.3

i am testing my masks and my new v2.3 might be up by tomorrow

i cannot promise anything :) but i hope tomorrow it will be there


edit: Masked Compression v2.3 is up and running

i think the most solid work i did so far :)

This is a silent Release, none will notice it :P

ok bro, it helped me, thanks, one more advice is needed, which compression algo is best in masked compression? And bro, whenever I use lztmax then I got a freearc353465363.tmp folder when installation is completed, but when i use Ultra or brute then I didn't got this problem!

panker1992
26-01-2016, 01:03
There is no best algo, every algo play within 3 dimensions

one is compression speed
second is ratio
third is decomp speed

Every algo can have 2 out 3 from the above virtues, so a masked process will always win over the classic process

no algo can have all the above, nanozip has best compression ratio but in terms of speed both comp and decomp it's useless

if there was a perfect algo then this masked thing would be useless :/

I hope i helped Amsal :)

i will warn you tho, this can become unstable if you force it with -f switch

@amsal i used -moptimal for assassin creed :) its pretty straight technique

add these lines in arc.ini and replace lzt

[External compressor:lzt]
;x64 version ;fast: -32 ;max:-p1 -49 -b200
packcmd = lzt -p2 -49 -b200 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = lzt -d $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
datafile = $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
packedfile = $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

Thanks for that, Is bink is also needed to get that size?

panker1992
26-01-2016, 01:47
yes, but with Bink make sure you keep back up of the original files ...

not all .bk2 files are supported

assassin creed can only scale percentage, you cannot downscale to 720p for example

you need to remove the /i5 parameter from bk2_enc.bat and use only the percentage parameter else it doesnt work

panker1992

you need to apply it to arc.ini on compression and on decompression "Resources folder"

this has to be applied on 2 different ini files ; forgot to tell you that :/

unpackcmd = lzt -d $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

it will only use 1 CPU Core, same one i provided with mask v2.1

zstd is superior to lz5, if you want to turn your zstd into a lz5 fast just lower to this switch

from -9 turn it to -1 with this you are on lz5 ground, in decompression you wont feel the difference anyways


lzham it is :) give me a few moments and i will update you to use lzham instead

Bro, I want to repack Mad max, and I am really a lot waiting for your reflate support with masked, and bro, when you make compatible reflate with masked then also add precomp 0.43 in it, so we can use precomp -brute in it, because there is no support for -brute in 0.38, and bro, u have any idea how to compress mad max game at lowest size with masked?

Felice i am working on 2.4, only today i took a long break to breathe some fresh air.

I dont want to change masks either :/ but my private chat is flooded but requests for different programs and different methods :/

to the point that either i will do what most want, or follow my plan to letter :P

i simply want to satisfy as many as i can :P the only mask that i changed myself what adding the msr (precomp0.45) and maybe fixxing the nasty bug

Amsal
29-01-2016, 04:03
And bro, here one more feature you can add -

Add precomp0.43 additional, so that everyone can use precomp/precomp0.43, because some games compress very well by precomp0.43, like you can add precomp0.43 in the arc.in, and there will be precomp0.38 too!

EDIT : actually precomp brute doesn't work on precomp0.38, and brute works amazingly on 0.43, so I think it is a good idea!

Yeah I know this is precomp error, but bro, is it possible that you can add 0.44 completely instead 0.45

EDIT: Bro, one more thought, try 0.45 with Blackbox/WPI script, and then test that it is decompressing or not?

And I pray that you get the solution of this problem as soon as possible

Hehehehe, panker1992, you remembered that you also got this problem with precomp 0.45, and kenzo was saying that he was able to decompress well with inno but not with unpacking tools, so why not you try precomp 0.45 with inno and try to extract it, I hope it will be extracted!

[Masked Compression 2.5]

masks 2.5 are here but this time a minor release

1) third mask was beta last time, now it aint ...it works out of the box with great success

2)precomp 038 remade, and optimized from scratch, precomp 0.38 is custom
and it is faster than all other precomp, on my test precomp 0.45 took 9 minues almost
and precomp0.38 took 5 minutes and 35 seconds ( test file was 700 mb file )

precomp038 set to slow mode and prrecomp 0.43 for brute mode, more of this in arc.ini

3) legacy2 works again since precomp038 is added again

4) msc is disabled, but you can enable it yourself, i did a proper test with this and reflate doesnt work with msc

plus the ratio was increased and not decreased (if you dont believe me i can post results and you can always test yourself)

5) zstd doesnt work with my config anymore... it took errors i had to reformat entire pc and again didnt ( that was enough for me to cast it aside tho i left the sonido )
and the option for you to re-enable it

6) msrsolid mask and void mask are better optimized !!!

Stay tuned :)

this set of tools is flexible you can enable disable whatever you want or even put other tools in there to work with

i provide my set and my defaults, that doesnt mean they are the perfect, thus the options and choices

for me msc is an obsolete tool because i use another tool which isnt provided in here that doesnt like it at all :)

good luck with this :)

Edit : to enable msc on all instances change static to show like this

static = msc+srep64+exe2+delta

Yeah panker, I also got this problem! I used precomp038

To update, simply download that precomp i posted now and replace the precomp in the resurces file on WPI and Black box


Do not update the precomp that masked compression uses for compressions


You do not need to recreate the data1.bin all over just this update compile the source and run it

This is not the whole game panker its just first two dlc folder and some exe files and dlls. So in this mainly dlc10 and dlc11 folder and error comes in dlc11 folder extraction. And dlc11 folder contain dead king dlc.
Even I succesfully compress ~9 and ~13.5 gb Singles file but why this gives me error. See screenshot of Assasin creeed unity single 14 gb file and that file extract succesfully. So please take a look and reply

Panker1992,

First of all, this whole idea of masked compression is great. But as of late, I have noticed that with the latest release, compression ratio has taken a huge hit, as I don't see the inclusion of MSC anymore. So I had to backtrack to one of your older release of Masked Compression, Likely 2.3, and took the methods from there. Can I ask you a few question in your PM, if you don't mind?

panker1992
19-02-2016, 15:53
you can ask anything :D masked compression is for advanced user and there is something i havent publically told

masked compression supports names not only extensions, so with that said you can mask pretty much any name with any extension you want :D

Amsal
20-02-2016, 08:29
But bro, I tell you one thing seriously, that lzt was best, can you add it also in v2.6, so users will have choice to use that also! Lzt was/is/will best!

panker1992
21-02-2016, 12:17
Alright :D

Masked Compression Archive is up for a few dates with some minor fixes applied to 2.5 edition

also added a new stripped edition for x86 support, xz supported zstd is also supported and msr (precomp045) is also for x86 version windows

this is far from complete but for those who use x86 will save serious space

panker1992
22-02-2016, 06:22
Amsal i will test brute because i really havent done brute before, but i wanted to include it

brute is precomp 043 working on brute mode and nothing else :D

SAM that is correct -hp -pYourpassword must be removed

what do you mean unmask section ??

Amsal
22-02-2016, 06:27
Bro, I fixed that by replacing this

[External Compressor:precomp043]

And I wrote precomp043 in the methods instead of brute, and now it is working fine, I think you can do this in your next version.



BTW, sam2712 unmask mean is he has to do anything in the unpacking process also. BTW the answer is no

I can tell you about second error, it is because i think you taken more than 1gb as input, currently reflate support maximum 1gb input. Or if not then I can't help you!

Unfortunately I dont have a clue to what state it is but probably 1 or 2 GB limitation, please dont think bad at us ... reflate is troublesome program.

panker1992
22-02-2016, 09:23
alright :D updated masked compression for x86, xz now works flawlessly :D

bik and bk2 files ?? best compression is srep only, they are uncompressible even if you run lzma or nanozip on them they yield no compression, they stay 100% ratio

i already have them in void masks so no need to worry ( its lossless )

SAM2712
22-02-2016, 09:26

Due to different machines and Architecture there can be errors, i will try to make a full Document on how everyone can interact with commands and troubleshoot on their own !!!

Thanks for Manual :D Somehow I need little guide :confused:
CPU= fx 8350 (8cores) , RAM (8gb) , win10 x64 , Usage masked compression (latest)
Case 1. When i use 4 cores of cpu then I have to do ( 4 * 200 * 10 = 8gb) B'cos I have 8gb ram but I have cpu fx 8350 So i have to do 4 cores disabled, If I want to use above formula, Right or Not?
Case 2. But If -mmt=on (Default) is used then compression will be done according to cpu cores available I MEAN cpu cores will be increase or decrease during compression , Right or Not?
Case 3. If all cores will be use then acc. to my ram, I have to use ( 8 * 100 * 10 ) Right or not ?
Please look for case 2 mainly beacuse I don't want to disable 4 core :confused: In all cases If I explained Right then I can use anyone case :rolleyes:
If I mistake any then correct me :o
In last one thing also what is -mcrc=0 if I change to 1 then crc error never occur , Right or Not :confused:

remove reflate entirely, dont use it at all test precomp and report back :D


Manual Added :D everything will be there

Thanks for a manual.:)
Remove Reflate mean : to remove reflate script from Arc.ini?
How to test with precomp? need to change any script? :confused:

since you have 8 GB of ram that means that you have left 6 GB because windows taking 2GB to operate,

since you have 8 core cpu then

8 * x *10 = 6 GB of ram because the limiting factor is your RAM

if you want to use all your 8 cores then you need to put dictionary
70mb

then its like 8 * 70 * 10 =5600 MB of ram which is good :D
for 4 cores 4 * 140 * 10 = 5600 MB of RAM which is good but slower

and mmt=on means it will use all cores mmt=1 = 1 core
mmt=4 4 cores

if you have i7 then its counted as 8 cores so plan accordingly


Priest and Rinaldo, Ultra is reflate, reflate is in the manual

IF you want to have a stable repack use precomp D:

Oh !:D How can I forgot this simple point that I have 6gb is usable :rolleyes:
THANKS to clear out my all points ..:)
Really Appreciate panker :D
;) One thing more , If all my 8 cores running then should i have to do with mmt=8 and also Is this effect on (8*x*10) :confused:
Simple I mean that In both thing (mmt and 8*x*10) I have to set cores same or different ? If same then no need further explain OR if different then what should I have to change in either things or both :confused:

-mmt=on will use 8 cores
-mmt=8 will also use 8 cores :P

and yes 8 cores means 8 * dictionary * 10

to make this more confusing

its cores * dictionary * matchfinder

there are a bunch of matchfinders

bt4 uses the multiplier (* 10) this is why we multiply * 10 in the end

you can change the matchfinder and use hc4 for example, but i recommend to use less dictionary than to change matchfinder

i hope you can follow me while i explain all these :P

I had to study compression lecturing under university of Helsinki to understand all that

if i went and wrote that all into manual it wouldnt be a manual i would be a lecture :P

try unpacking with WPI, and tell me if there is freearc tmp there as well

lzturbo and lzham leave tmp files man ... this is why i didnt want them in

xz is better in both compressio nratio and its bugless ....

try WPI and then if you get errors as well replace with xz which is better overall

Amsal
28-02-2016, 09:20
Panker bro, you are a good programmer also, so why not you edit unarc.dll and make it compatible to show progress with xz also, because for 6gb archive xz doesn't show any progress for 10min and because still, if you can do some programming and make progress with xz support then it will be great!

panker1992
28-02-2016, 17:37
xz already supports Progress man :D

any program you see <stdin> <stdout> shows correct progress

you probably made a mistake somewhere :/

xz is lzma2 and nothing else, how lzma normally supports stdout likewise xz does as well

Every feature that lzma1 has is inheritage to lzma2 as well ....

check your problem and post again



Edit: try packing a 10 GB game using srep and xz and NOTHING else, then run WPI progress bar will show normally :)

What is the best way to compress .pck audio files 100% lossless???

panker1992
02-03-2016, 15:35
audio files arent easily compressed though msc can handle them i think if they are wav or mp3 at least.

on top of them srep although it wont do much, and after xz(lzma2) which will also wont do much


audio is incompressible in many ways.

02-03-2016, 22:59
there is a lot game data extractor like msc but they can't rebuild the data.I tried to compress a game's data after using these extractors i gave better results (compression ratio) but i can't rebuild this data ex. reflate can extract gta 5 datas it gave better result in gta 5 or mad max

truerepacks
03-03-2016, 09:40
Compressing *.pck file with msc doesn't yield u any good results as they contain wav which aren't pcm supported or something like that and even ogg cann't process it (this is same for all assasin creeds)
So its better to compress them with zstd

truerepacks
03-03-2016, 09:45
About tmp folder, set working directory to tmp in isarc extract module

panker1992
03-03-2016, 18:40
This will pretty much solve the issue, also why pack using zstd and not step alone ?

In my new 2.5 masks srep handles the data that are non compressible.

It has also come to my attention that recompressing data is the future as games industries go and make 60 gb games, they come prepacked. People here need to start taking recomp seriously

i am planning to update reflate to a custom version of *Free* reflate, it will have the ability to take 4 GB input against 2GB that it takes now :)

i will talk with Razor is he allows its good, else you will get the update 3 one he provided not so long ago

I hope there will be news to overcome the wall of 2GB with reflate, if we stay with the update 3, reflate very little will be used, and is a shame because it is a great compressor.:)

panker1992
18-03-2016, 10:58
Felice old friend how are you ?? :D

the limiting factor of 4 GB is there and will always be there because of usage of original reflate the one Eugene Shelwien created in 2011.

this is our most recent efforts me and Razor literally take no breath as to what reflate can do, hopefully these pictures will de-stress you, this reflate literally knows no bounds as input can be as high as 1 TB and speed can be
70mb/sec to stdout :D

Reflate log : Notes

This Reflate is made by Razor and Panker, it supports dual architecture, both x86 and x64
were used for the sake of comparison all tests were run equally without background apps running and on RAMDISK.


Me and Razor decided to throw in conversions, which means you will download our tools and use our inis to speed up processes by up to 50 times.

Until this is ready enjoy the following Slideshow :D


This sample was tested on Panker1992, PC running in sequence

1 then 2 then 4 and finally 8 cpu cores.

the command line and times are visible in all tests.

-m = Method used supporting in x86 m1, m2 and m3 and in x64 m1 and m2 are supported for now

-t = number of threads ( this reflate can support from 1 to 240 threads )

-l = level of compression ( zlib's original from 1 to - 9 )

SUBNOTE : at shown in the picture while using 8 threads, because the size of the file is small speed is actually throttled.
so i provided a photo using -t6 so scaling reasons :)
