[Conversation] Best Steps to repack any Game

[aswadd]

Thnx For any one who will take part in this topic , this is conversation not tut
I'm new in Compression although through many searches I can make a good repack for a game by this method
For Ex: Raise OF Tomp Raider
1- delet any Lang except English Files
2- I made 2 Folders

First one contain [Exe , Movies , Images] Files
So I can Use MSC+SREP+LZMA to repack it & if there is no Movies // MP3 Just use storing + SREP

Second One Contain Main Game files (Most of the game files which have the same extention like .[/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=4]tiger) & now i'm about to test over 40 different method of compression
so Basically take a small file From the game for ex:
bigfile.dlc.story.babayaga.000_ENGLISH.000.tiger (55mb)
then use any compressor like Panker Compresser
Make 40 different Method or more as you wish
then launch your test.bat
now compare the results & Choose the best one :D
Note :
* Of Course Nanozip will give you Better results but not always & also it's time to decompress is larger than the others
* precomp will not always give you the best results
=====================
So this is my way & if someone want to Share his ways or notes I will be happy :)
& Don't Forget to write Some of your best methods like precomp+srep+reflate .. etc

So For tomp Raider i see [ lzt+srep64+lzt ] is better than the others and Faster

lzt is for text and don`t repeat the algo in the same command chain srep+lzt works fine.Also for text try to test bsc or xwrt.

Tomb Raider only needs a zlib recompressor, srep and lzma to get you 13-14GB

I think they are some of the best compressors to be used to backup of RoTTR.
The choice is purely subjective guys....

The choice is purely subjective guys.... Also packet1.2 will give you a good ratio But i never tested it with other tools :D
