Of course it consumes a lot of RAM and is slow.:(

Will you continue to develop the pZLib?
Come on, you're great! we have confidence in you.We are waiting for you to come back.
Forget the unhappiness.You are the BEST in my heart!:)

Well pzlib has reached its limits, nothing more to detect in data and thanks.

Snails are slow, you'd think jacking them up with NOS would give them an extra gear and turn them into Vin Diesel's car? :p

[shazzla]

Ups. U misunderstand me.
The target was a little inspiration to code something useful. :)

[darkwolves]

speaking of oodle does anyone know were i can get the oodle230X64.dll??

[shazzla]

I can show a link in pm to the complete x86/64 (v 2.41?) api+dll's...
Only a good coder missing who creates an x64 cli for it. :/

[felice2011]

But .. I do not know if there is anything more up to date, I have not tried their actual compression threshold with their game library..:rolleyes:

i got the lzdec64 and lzenc64 from ultraarc 2801
but it says i cannot run it without oodle230x64.dll
i looked all over the ultraarc it isn't there
also searched on the forums still cannot find it

As usual, your research, I speak in general, not only of you, is never successful. But, maybe it's a fashion here on the forum, the convincing use of the "UltraARC" of Razor, with all my respect for her work, I personally have never used it, If you search better exist here in the forum several utilities of compression data much more complete, with inside everything that can serve. Search better.;)

noodle is supposed to compress the files i am trying to compress but it doesn't
precomp no effect pzlib no effect

as for ultraarc razor stopped updating that at version 2500 so someone else is doing it
and i do not use ultraarc either i have my own compressor and i run tests and intergrate
useful things into it

[KaktoR]

Could be false detection?

Edit: Yes, false detection or something. Unextractable after compressing.

You tried to use pzlib without the use of FA on the same file, after inflation can you get the deflation with the same original file structure?:rolleyes:

[KaktoR]

I have used fa of course :rolleyes:

detection on this file is faulty, because every other file works just fine

[felice2011]

I have used fa of course :rolleyes:

Yes, but you did not answer my question, did you try to use the same file only with pzlib, without FA ???? I'm asking because it happened to me on some files of a game, and I solved with the using and modifying the arc.groups.;)

[KaktoR]

Ok misunderstood.

No, i have not. Will take a look tomorrow.

[VectorItalia]

hello i want to use it, but i cant understand how i can use it with wich program for compress and uncompress all file, pls can u help me?
i have inno setup for installer

[KaktoR]

I wish there were a possibility to make a export file with files that actually contains zlib streams, especially for games with hundrets/thousands of files .

/for ds4zlib of course

[doofoo24]

use Ztool...

[vollachr]

use Ztool...

Already tried, didn't give the desired compression ratio, so not an option in this specific case.

I've now changed my arc.ini a little and trying pZLib3 again

[doofoo24]

did you add hif2raw_dll.dll & raw2hif_dll.dll to ztool ?
game like crysis 1 need hif2raw_dll.dll & raw2hif_dll.dll, setting r9

[KaktoR]

Have you changed decompress arc.ini too?

[vollachr]

did you add hif2raw_dll.dll & raw2hif_dll.dll to ztool ?
game like crysis 1 need hif2raw_dll.dll & raw2hif_dll.dll, setting r9

I'm compressing Assetto Corsa, Not Crysis, but yes, these dll files are in the same folder as ztool

Have you changed decompress arc.ini too?

My CIUv2 arc.ini for pZLib3:

[External compressor:pzlib3,pZLib3,pZLib32,pzlib32,pZlib32,p zLib32,pZLib64,pzlib64,pZlib64,pzLib64]
header = 0
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t100p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>


and my current compression arc.ini for pZLib3:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout>
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>


UPDATE:

OK, as for the time of the original compression that gave me the CRC error the compression arc.ini was this:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout>
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout>
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

I have now changed the pzlib3 arc.ini entry for CIUv205g to be this:

[External compressor:pzlib3,pZLib3,pZLib32,pzlib32,pZlib32,p zLib32,pZLib64,pzlib64,pZlib64,pzLib64]
header = 0
;unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t100p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t25p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp <stdout>

So far, 4 minutes into setup & no CRC Checksum error, it was practically immediate before.

The only issue now is that the elapsed time keeps progressing while the time remaining stays 0 and the progress bar stays at 0.0% .

But I'll give it some time, could be because of the extreme compression ratio (40GB game to 3.80GB archive)

UPDATE 2:

Around 10 minutes in, I got the following ISDone error:

An error occurred when unpacking!
Unarc.dll returned an error code: -1
ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails)

[doofoo24]

wow extreme compression ratio (40GB game to 3.80GB archive) ???
what setting ???

[vollachr]

wow extreme compression ratio (40GB game to 3.80GB archive) ???

These:

pZLib3:st1+srep64+lzma64:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc10 00:lc8

With the following arc.ini values:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout>
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout>
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:srep64]
header = 0
packcmd = srep64 {options} -v0 -m3f -a2 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep64 {options} -d -s - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:lzma64]
header = 0
packcmd = lzma64 e lzma{:option} <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = lzma64 d lzma{:option} <stdin> <stdout>

But as I mentioned, so far I fail to unpack it with CIUv205g.

I'm trying to perform a test on the archive directly with FreeArc UI program to see if the archive is actually corrupt or not, this will at least give me an indication where my problem is.

[doofoo24]

ok, i am tring to compress the game now with ztool with pzlib:m3:r9:c256m i will report back...

[vollachr]

ok, i am tring to compress the game now with ztool with pzlib:m3:r9:c256m i will report back...

I did a lot of attempts with ztool pzlib, never got below 8.99GB final size (2xDVD5+1x300MB+ Disc) for Assetto Corsa.

I even used the ultra preset (pzlib:ultra), further more, because of the game size, it requires a lot of free space or it just end with errors during compression (that's true for both ztool & pZLib3)

[doofoo24]

after ztool i get 42618mb not alot of zlib detect...
as for pzlib i didn't use it for long time last time i tried to use it i got a lot of crc error's.
try to disable superfetch in windows or use safe mode...

OK...

Anyway, so far, I keep getting when performing test on the archive with FreeArc GUI an error unknown method or parameters in pZLib3:st1

And I did edit the arc.ini in the FreeArc installation folder and added the relevant exe & dll files, trying one more time with a slight change in arc.ini but at the same time trying to re-do my compression without the st1 parameter for pzlib3 and with lzma instead of lzma64.

Hopefully it'll give the same archive result with less decompression problems.

[doofoo24]

what size you get after pzlib before srep ?

[vollachr]

what size you get after pzlib before srep ?

I'm not sure I remember correctly, but I think it was around 24GB with pzlib3, really don't remember about ztool's pzlib, why?

[doofoo24]

not pzlib that in ztool i meant pzlib v3 seem that ztool does not detected zlib, now i am tring to compress with pzlib v3 instead of ztool and i will try ztool without hif2raw_dll.dll & raw2hif_dll.dll...

OK, Now, I remember that at one point during compression the tempfile was around 11GB too, just not sure if it was before or after srep.

Anyway, let me know what you get.

Also, I'm currently trying the setup again after replacing the pzlib.exe from CIUv205g with the one I used for compression, it's been almost 16 minutes without errors so far.

UPDATE: Nope, same problems, just took longer to happen

[KaktoR]

There are some games/files, where pzlib3 or ztool have errors from the beginning in compressing. A good and new example is Kingdom Come Deliverance, where some files have some kind of false detection with pzlib, result is either crc error or archive data corrupted in extracting.

Same was a single file for NBA2k18 i guess, where the ratio was over 2000% inflation.

I don't know if it is a generall problem with pzlib or just switches.

Hopefully, that's not the issue here, because that will be really annoying, I'm trying something now, hopefully it will work, if not, well, I guess it'll back to the drawing board.

To be honest, I didn't try to compress it to 1xDVD5 size, that was a shock when I've seen the result, I'll be happy with getting it to work with a size of 2xDVD5 without the extra 300MB+ 3rd disc.

Problem is, so far, only pzlib3 managed to compress the game below 8.99GB size (which result in a 3rd, nearly empty disc)

[doofoo24]

pzlibv3 and ztool didn't work for me (i mean it did not detect zlib) not decompression error...
i tried to scan different files type (kn5 / ai ) with gfs from razor zlib with levels(slow) no zlib file with dynamic streams option it detect zlib...

[doofoo24]

@vollachr by any chance did you used msc ?
there almost 9.7gb of dds files...

[vollachr]

pZLib2 / pZLib3.0.1 / pZLib3.2.0 / ZTool

I only encountered some problems with pZLib3.2.0.
They all work great.

I'll try and see what works and what not, currently using pZLib3.2.0, will try 3.0.1 maybe.

[vollachr]

@vollachr by any chance did you used msc ?

No, I mean, I tried but I got crashes from MSC, so I gave up on it, other than srep/srep64 & lzma/lzma64 I only tried ztool, pzlib3.2.0 and precomp0.4.3 (which I abandoned mid-way due to way too long times)

[doofoo24]

i tried ztool and both pzlib 3.2 and 3.0.1 i get the same ratio 105.36%...
only applied pzlib 42,935,540,198 => 45,238,050,951 bytes.
what ratio you get ???
now i am tring precompmt...

That makes no sense...

When I used pzlib 3.2 my ratio at end of pzlib3 part of compression was under 50%, don't remember the exact number but it was in the 40-50% area.

I'm currently testing compression with pzlib3.0.1+srep64+lzma, will report back results when I have them, gonna take a few hours.

[doofoo24]

precompmt.dll used with precomp 0.46
i get 42,935,540,198 => 43,687,319,971 bytes. Ratio 101.75%
worst than ztool /pzlibv3

[QUOTE=vollachr;468409]No, I mean, I tried but I got crashes from MSC, so I gave up on it...

During compression, each time it got to the MSC part, MSC crashed, could never figure out why.

[doofoo24]

it seems that only psd have zlib...
all psd 2.72gb

[vollachr]

it seems that only psd have zlib...
all psd 2.72gb

Really? OK...

Anyway, here's the weird thing though, pZLib 3.0.1, unlike pZLib 3.2, so far at least (still far from finished), give me a much worse ratio (97-100%), that said, it's not even half way through the process, so I'll wait and see.

Truth be told, I only need it to compress additional 400MB or so compared to srep64+lzma without pZLib3 and It'll be enough.

Maybe I'll re-try MSC later on.

UPDATE: Okay, pZLib 3.0.1 part of compression finished, final ratio: 106%, I'll wait and see what the final result will be.

Could be something with my arc.ini entry for MSC, or it's placement within the method, when I tried it it was pzlib(ztool)+msc+srep64+lzma

my ini for msc:

[External compressor:msc]
header = 0
packcmd = msc c -v {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

[doofoo24]

[External compressor:msc]
;Alt: -f = Forced on bigger data //-frog=9 use this instead of -tak=9 = yields error on decomp.
header = 0

usually i compress filles separately zlib / media / etc...
on small game i use msc before pzlib
msc+pzlib+srep+lzma

Well, I'm using CLS-diskspan to create the disc size split so separately is not an option but I'll try your MSC arc.ini entry, maybe it will work.

so the final size msc+pzlib+srep+lolz it worst without msc ???

Any news?

From some reason, whenever I try msc+pzlib+srep64+lzma64 the compression just ends after MSC, without any errors but without completing the compression and writing the data file so I end up with a final disc folder that only have the Setup.exe, Setup.ico & Autorun.inf and is less than 60MB in size (which is the Setup.exe size)

I tried it with different pzlib versions and settings, it keeps happening.

[doofoo24]

the ratio seem to be worst with MSC+pzlib+srep+lolz. i get 9.8gb ???
other pople who repack Assetto Corsa get 6.8gb...

6.8GB could be with not fully updated game and/or not all DLCs, I honestly haven't seen a repack for v1.16 and all DLCs that is less than 9.0GB.

The 6.8GB repacks seems to be for v1.14.

I'm gonna do another 1-2 tries, if nothing works I'll just settle for either 2xDVD5+1xCD or maybe 1xDVD9+1xDVD5 (or both) using Srep64+Lzma64 only,

Because so far, the differences between all attempts were minor and insignificant, and the Srep64+Lzma64 was the quickest one.

Nice, I'll try, although LOLZ is currently giving me some on-screen text output problems due to >nul at end of the compression command, I'm working on a workaround but I'm not sure it will work yet.

Could there be an alternative to LOLZ?, what about RZM or ZST? have you tried LZMA or LZMA2? instead of lolz? if so, what was the result?

[doofoo24]

no i didn't try lzma or zst, i believe the ratio would be worst maybe you will get 8.10g to 8.15g...
from past experience the best setting for lzma i recommend lzma:a1:mfbt4:d512m:fb273:mc10000:lc8 or if you have alot of ram you could increase d512m to 756m or 1024mb still better than lzma2 or lzma:ultra that used by panker...
just be sure that you using fazip 64 for lzma to overcome memory limit in freearc.
the max lzma is d182mb in freearc alone without fazip...

[External compressor:lzma,delta,exe,mm,rep,tor,4x4]
header = 0
packcmd = fazip -i0 compress:{compressor}{:option} <stdin> <stdout>

* srep need less tan 1gb decompresion memory for Assetto...
i will try to use pzlib:max:c64m+srep:m5f:a2+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d51 2m:fb273:mc10000:lc8
no need for more than 64m for pzlib...

OK...

1. I've been using these settings for LZMA/LZMA64:

a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

Do LZMA64 (which is external to freearc) have the same memory limit you mentioned? my guess would be no.

2. Can't use FAZip, I tried, it caused problems with freearc itself, it caused the default methods of m1, m2, m4, etc, to crash, see here (http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=466288&postcount=106)

Compressed 33,999 files, 42,886,060,604 => 8,475,378,350 bytes. Ratio 19.76%

I'm currently trying your above method (with slight changes since some of the options you set up there for pzlb & srep are already default in my arc.ini, so no need to specify them.

One question though, it's currently at the LOLZ part of the compression, it claims it gonna take almost 13 more hours, is that real? is that even normal?

Anyway, I'm tending (from cosmetic reasons) toward not using LOLZ, too much screen clutter.

But I'll wait and see the final result first.

[doofoo24]

it depend on you pc.
i used mt8 not mt2 i have alot of ram 64gb so there no problem it took 54min,
i changed in the post above to mt2 because most poeple likely have 16gb or 8gb of ram in in their system.
*mt does not affect the compression ratio...

I have 16GB of RAM in my machine and a pretty good Intel I7 CPU, still, it got to a point where the remaining time was over 27 hours, It was way too long and I had to cancel it, I'm looking for alternative solutions and considering to just stop trying to get the size down to 2xDVD5/1xDVD9 size and settle for the 3 Disc result.

Either way, LOLZ doesn't seem to be the solution for me, way too slow for me (and probably most people).

Right now trying to replace LOLZ with RZM, see the times and ratio, but that will be the last attempt I do, after that, if I don't get the result I want I'll set the conversion up for 3 discs.

[vollachr]

try lolz:mc1023:fba4 096:bc8:blr8:bm8:oh14:pc4:mtt1:mt8:d128m
it will use 12.5gb of ram and all 8 threads ...
i used it on mad max it took 76 min...

OK, I'll see about trying that...

I'm just not sure if getting the game down to 2xDVD5 size is worth all the time I spend on it.

i used it on mad max it took 76 min...

OK, trying it now, been working almost 2 hours, it's now at the LOLZ part...

1. LOLZ was Taxing my CPU to the max (100%), had to limit it via TaskManager to use only half the CPU cores so I can keep working with my computer.

2. Time-wise, gonna take at least another 9 hours and still rising.

I honestly don't like these kind of times for compression, I can accept 4-5 hours on my machine, it's decent enough but 8 is a little too much, not mention longer, especially to only get less than 1GB additional compression over a compression that takes 3-4 hours.

I'm really starting to realize I should probably leave it at 3 Discs, it doesn't worth the time.

Have you tested DLZ?

[vollachr]

Have you tested DLZ?

Actually no, I haven't but I'm just tired of trying, I've been at it for around a week, maybe a little more, I'm currently going back to the beginning, a simple srep64+lzma64 or srep64+lzma, it turns out in the end as two (2) full DVD5 discs and a smaller disc of less than 400MB without additional files, once I'll have both options compressed I'm gonna see which one's faster in compression and install times and decide by that, the size difference is insignificant.

Hell, it was insignificant in all attempts with any compressors combination, except perhaps the ones that took way too long (15 hours or more) like LOLZ/Precomp but I have no intention of using those so back to the simplest option.

It will still fit 2xDVD5 or less with a game that isn't completely updated and/or don't have all DLCs installed.

I'm not gonna waste any more time on that, I've made my decision, hopefully I can release this conversion in the next few days.

[Andu21]

Well, if it helps, DLZ offers a little more compression than LZMA at almost the same speed. Depends on the data in the end.

yes razor makes very good tools also stuff he doesn't even use even
he recently came out of retirement to make Xtool..
wether or not he goes back into retirement after that remains to be seen..
i honestly hope not but the decision is his alone

I'm not trying to steal anyone's work, I'm just trying to extract the game to play, but its setup is crap and does not work for many users, so if you do not repair your own work yourself let others try

okay let me be blunt FitGirl is a public repacker..
she will not share how to use her setups..
she will not give you tools or compression methods..
no one on here will help you due to the amount of respect
that the community on here has for FitGirl..
and anyone who can figure out how to use that
deserves a medal...
you should really try other ways to compress and install games...
because you are wasting your time with this
and by the way those arc ini settings are hers
any one of us who have been in these forums for a period of time
can easily spot that....
i have said my peice

When installer decompressing the files after x64c.rpf it's stuck on x64d.rpf and gives CRC check error. Which detail I might have missed? Tried only with x64a.rpf,x64b.rpf it's compressing and decompressing with any problem, maybe the total size causes to crc error?

Just remove t100p and try again or change check u're using same pzlib version for comps and decomps
