Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

[wareck]

Ok daniel, I think issue is linked to several kind of file for this games

There is some bk2 files, mp4 and ucas/pak files

I'm not a pro , what I'll do for this game :

compress *.bk2 with xtool:c1792mb:mbk2:df20p+zstd:-ultra:22:T0
Compress *.mp4 with srep_new:392+LZMA-MT
Compress *.exe *.dll *.txt *.ini *.tps *.ttf with : xtool:mzlib+xtool:dd3+razor_stdio
Compress *.pak with xtool:mzlib+xtool:dd3+bcm
Other files with xtool:mzlib+srep_new:392+LZMA-MT

I've started to batch I'll see tomorrow morning the results

regards

^bk2 are kb2n, so bink plugin is useless. This affects pretty much all newer unreal engine games (ue5+).

Who can check, which method best for PES 2013 \ pes 2019 \ pes 2021

[Masquerade]

^^
Uses CPK files so check with a hex editor first for "4352494C41594C41" bytes and if found, use crilayla precompressor. If not, upload a sample.

Hello everyone, maybe someone here knows the correct compression method for the games Nobody Wants to Die & Blood bowl 3? I checked using a scanner and the results were using Kraken, but when I wanted to check the matching libraries, none of them matched. Here is a sample file if needed:
Nobody Wants to Die:
.pak: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bzwlzf61Xj9U5ZHnNaTtcqqNmPCxmq0K/view?usp=sharing
.ucas: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H9hPHaDfeU32FlZuymim_2eEvRG-RhTN/view?usp=sharing

Blood Bowl 3:

Thank you:)

Did the latest version of Mortal Kombat 11 drop LZNA compression in favor of Oodle Kraken? Currently working on a 32mb sample (from build 10154284) and testing with xtool v0.8.9. Was digging through some other repacks and found one that used a version of xtool 2019 (with xtool.exe CRC-32: f6734f4f) and oo2core_6_win64.dll (v.6.X?, CRC-32: 8e71942a, attached to the post as I haven't seen it before or have a record of its checksums in my own collection), though I wasn't able to pick up any additional streams, at least when testing on my sample.

Uses CPK files so check with a hex editor first for "4352494C41594C41" bytes and if found, use crilayla precompressor. If not, upload a sample.

Hi everyone, may I ask if anyone knows the right compression method for the game railway empire 2? I have tried compressing using xtool:mzlib but the size does not change. here is the sample file:

It's true there's no harm in learning, but posting sub-optimal results (in such large numbers to boot) is hardly worthy of commendation. Contributions of that nature shouldn't be encouraged in my mind, lest you wish to breed and normalise a culture of sub-par work.

[Masquerade]

^^
Look in the conversion index and you will see plenty of sub optimal results, why don't you go and correct them all since apparently you are now the judge and jury for what optimal results are?

And don't you dare suggest I encourage sub-par repacking, I take immense pride in the work and those who know me know I hate seeing messy and poor releases by other "repackers". Even I make mistakes from time to time. I also didn't see any commendation in my reply, only telling you to not act like a moron. You don't become a perfect repacker overnight and LILU will learn over time.

[L33THAK0R]

^^
Look in the conversion index and you will see plenty of sub optimal results, why don't you go and correct them all since apparently you are now the judge and jury for what optimal results are?

I have made a small impact on these sub-optimal results that you mention, but the truth is there's a disproportionately large number of titles that aren't that interesting to analyse and repack, and I've lacked the interest to tackle them. I'm by no means claiming to be a great repacker, of my current body of publicly available work (recorded at the time of publication for each), only 351/464 (75.64%) are record breakers (using other existing published results, with their choice of components as a base for comparison, and including lossless (if I made a lossy offering) to determine eligibility for record status), 27/464 (5.82%) are determined to be equal as a result of variance due to non-deterministic solutions used. Unfortunately then that leaves a massive 86/464 (18.53%) of published works being sub-optimal (largely due to either avoiding heavy compression, like for oodle titles for the sake of install-time, disproportionate (in regards to the install size of the title) additional read/write operations post-install, or a simple lack of ability to re-compress/decrypt assets) but you sure as heck won't find me posting those sub-optimal results here. I don't post the majority of my work here simply due to the fact there isn't much competition to encourage that sort of posting. I choose to just post the more interesting compressions that require specific tinkering to properly process, since I believe that's the sort of content that would be appreciated.


And don't you dare suggest I encourage sub-par repacking, I take immense pride in the work and those who know me know I hate seeing messy and poor releases by other "repackers". Even I make mistakes from time to time. I also didn't see any commendation in my reply, only telling you to not act like a moron. You don't become a perfect repacker overnight and LILU will learn over time.

Your defense of his posting, at least to me seems to indicate you're supporting those practices, but hey if I'm misinterpreting that, I'm fine with admitting I'm at fault. In my eyes you can either support or condemn an issue, and I don't interpret this as the latter.

I fully support LILU in learning and striving to be one of the greats, but posting en masse a large swath of unhelpful and sub-optimal approaches for a variety of titles isn't helpful, least of all for future members who wish to learn. Asking specific questions, which might also be of assistance to future members is a much better approach, at least in my opinion.

I'll preface this last point, since you seem to be interpreting my comments as inflammatory that my goal is not to insult you or your friends, I'm just laying out what I see. I know you're part of a collective and I'm sure communication is tricky, but if I, by far a novice repacker is besting recent releases with very little effort, that doesn't indicate to me that you're as focused on achieving as optimal a result as you seem to be claiming to pursue.

Finally can I just ask you cool it with the insults? It's not very productive to conversation, and only results in escalating tensions, which I'm sure nobody wants.

[KaktoR]

To add something actually usefull to the discusion here and some information to the user LILU...

If using DSG you can add a additional parameter to xtool command line like ":lib_#" which just tells DSG to use another oodle library which might work better than the other which is actually the same version but not the very same version (if you know what I mean). To specify this a bit more, we can just take oodle library v2.9.10 for example. Currently we have two libraries of this version. The second one (named here as "core_2.9.10\oo2core_9_win64_2.dll") is a "leaked" library from the oodle SDK, which was never shipped by any game actually. This library will achive much better results then the other v2.9.10 library (in this case "core_2.9.10\oo2core_9_win64.dll"). This is simply due to the fact that the leaked library from the SDK has significant changes and some games were compiled with this specific library, so the other library doesn't work well simply because of the library code changes. But this also means that using the second library version inflationary does not give you automatically better results for games which were compressed with the first library. So this goes in both directions.

Included libraries in DSG are stored here: Resources\Win64\ADDONS\Libraries\Oodle\Oodle_Libs. 7z
There you can also see for which libraries you can use the additional parameter ":lib_#" (# = oo2core_#_win64_#.dll)

I suggest to use XToolUI (xtool.exe + xtoolui.dll) to test around with game files and different libraries so you know which library is the optimal to use. Some time ago I wrote some informations for beginners about this case. You should read this

Notes:
- I have extracted all the bink videos from the game files. In my previous test using plain xtool with bms plugin and bink plugin was not working correctly for some reason. That's why I extracted and removed the files out of the game files with xtool. I attached xtl file for which you can extract the files aswell with xtool (use xtool extract command). This is why input is bigger in this case. Normal game size is about 100GB + 32GB extracted videos. Like I said the 32GB video files were removed from the game archives so the zero'd parts of the game files will compress with like ratio 0%, so the result (output) is the very same like as you weren't extracting the video files.
- The attached xtl file is compatible with game version 1.1.1. As long as future game updates does not modifiy any of the game files (diff-like) this xtl file should work.
- xtool command order for xtl file: 1. extract, 2. erase, 3. decode (after install with xtl file).
- I decided to not extract & process WEM files because I was just too lazy, sorry. In the end it doesn't give a big size loss anyway. This is only important for repackers anyways, but they know by now.
- To make a bms plugin use the bms script with bms2xtl with the following settings:
SafeMode=1
LZ4=lz4hc:l9
input files: *.rmdtoc

This is v2.9.5

almost that, i take it from AC Mirage

oo2core_9_win64.dll rename it to oo2core_5_win64.dll

[KaktoR]

AC Mirage has no shipped oodle library :confused: Also for AC Mirage use 2.8.4 (same like Valhalla, both latest versions).

However fyi, for 95% of all newer games you can be safe of using oodle library 2.9.5. For the rest use 2.9.10 or 2.9.10 lib2 or even older libraries like 2.8.x (mainly ubisoft titles).

Here on this forum we have a grand collection of libraries which were collected over the years (some are missing, I have to upload them sometime).

[ZAZA4EVER]

Your old collection library you uploaded don't work with me
I tested it but as you said new library working

[KaktoR]

If you're going to use oo2rec tools you have to rename oo2core_8_win64 and oo2core_9_win64 to oo2core_7_win64 (or below) to make them work with oo2rec tools.

Btw, could you share some samples from that wukong game? Thanks.

JP voiceovers ripped. You can play the game without problems, but updating the game will get difficult without rehashing pakchunk0-WinAnvil.pak file. I suggest to do this step when the game is finished.

Processing WEM files and BNK files will work aswell but I did not do it here because of lazyness.

[Masquerade]

^^
Use zlib+reflate for a little ratio increase. Using WemTool for a bulk of the larger wems leads me to a minimum size of 22GB with EN VO only. JP VO + Credits video ripped.

bcm on CriWare movies
XTool Zlib+Reflate + srep + lolz on all else.

You can open and extract pak files with 7zip normally.

binks are kb2n, except of a few which are bink1's (not worth to process them).

kraken is used, no key

Also looks like you can rip chinese language out if you want. I played a bit with ripped language and it's working until now.

How to:
Use quickbms + unreal_tournament_4_0.4.27e_paks_only.bms script and extract only WEM and BNK from "pakchunk0-Windows.pak" (make a backup of this file).

Go to extracted folder and delete all files you want to keep (only keep Chinese files/folders).

Zero all files inside extracted folder
FOR /R %%a IN ("*.wem") DO (fsutil file setzerodata offset=0 length=%%~za "%%a")
FOR /R %%a IN ("*.bnk") DO (fsutil file setzerodata offset=0 length=%%~za "%%a")

Use quickbms reimport feature
quickbms_4gb_files -w -r "unreal_tournament_4_0.4.27e_paks_only.bms" "pakchunk0-Windows.pak" "pakchunk0-Windows.pak_extract"

I tested unpacking the modified pakchunk0-Windows.pak again and all chinese files are zero'd still.

In any case make backups! Any patch for this game is forcing you to redownload pakchunk0-Windows.pak if you don't have a backup.

Xtool 0.7.6
What am I missing here ?

[KaktoR]

Yeah use latest xtool version
libraries are required
gdeflate.dll + (dstorage.dll) + (dstoragecore.dll)

()* not sure, one of them are required or both.

Maybe can somebody please explain reasoning behind God of War Ragnarök method that is posted by xtool creator on Patreon...because it is not that this method does not work, rather I don't see why it is required.
Method posted is, I quote:
here's the method to use: -mlz4f:d1:l2:s512m -lm (if you have a lot of memory, you can set 1g for the s# parameter)
Since I'm getting pretty much the same (ok, few GB more) final size like FitGirl got (67GB with one language, 85GB with all languages) WITH ONLY srep:m3f+lolz I curious on what files is lz4f needed? Or should I say, even if there are lz4f streams in game why xtool is needed at all if I can get same size without it? I'm just searching to reason to use it, since I have every respect for Razor12911 opinion and posts. Regards

Because of The Funny Lawsuit, I wanted to try repacking Palworld. I tried using
arc a -r -ep1 -i2 -o+ -mxtool:mue4:mzlib:w15:mpreflate:mpng:mflac:l8:dd3: d1+rzs palworld.bin Palworld\*
Is there something I could do to achieve a better ratio? Is there something I'm missing?

oodle kraken

[ozerune]

I also noticed that ue4 didn't pick up any streams, despite it being a ue5 game with .pak files. Am I using the external codec wrong? Is it unnecessary for this game?

[KaktoR]

not necessary for this game

[infovs]

Is there any xtool plugin that I missed for CoD WII? Because this game has lz4 streams, confirmed...and no problem using xtool:lz4 but expanding only if I use very old 0.12 version of xtool. Anything newer, like 0.8.9, nothing is expanded. Ok, plugin is required for lz4 if using newer versions I guess, I tried to make one but failed...
Did anyone managed to successfully use newer xtool (0.7.x or higher) in any way on this game or should I give up on this with new xtool versions? Thanks in advance, regards.

[ozerune]

oodle kraken

Don't I need the Oodle dll file that the game uses? I'm not seeing anything related to it in the game folders.

[KaktoR]

Games in unreal engine doesn't ship oodle library anymore. Use 2.8.14 up to 2.9.5. They should work.

Just use srep+lolz/lzma

Edit: No it's not.

For unity engine just use srep+lolz/lzma. If BUNDLE files are present they use lz4/lz4hc in most cases so use xtool unity plugin + lz4/lz4hc (if lz4hc then you have to set correct level) + correct lz4 library.

Common path for BUNDLE files: StreamingAssets\aa\StandaloneWindows64

Please allow me to ask, maybe someone here can help me check the right library for the pneumata game? I have checked using oo2scan_7_win64.exe and using leviathan but after I checked using xtool to check the right library but none of them were suitable. this is the sample file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LFSrjtQzwFhRFycSuTJJyQYOX_sVsP5e/view?usp=sharing

You need a plugin for this

Done!!!

Use unreal_tournament_4_0.4.27e_paks_only.bms with the following config
[Config]
SafeMode=1
UserInput=
Exclude=lzma_dynamic
gzip=zlib
deflate=zlib
zlib_noerror=zlib

oodle=leviathan

Use oodle library v2.9.9

Edit: I see this is a ue5 game with ucas files. I guess you have to use unreal_db maker with key=leviathan setting. I don't have the game so I cannot test.

Greetings. I am having trouble understanding how to properly compress newer UE4/UE5 games, like Sparking Zero for an example.

I checked one of the games files with the Oodle scanner, and it picks up Kraken. I check the executable, and it picks up a key. I go into DISKSPAN GUI and choose the UE plugin for XTOOL with kraken enabled and the key included in the compression method section, with Oodle library v2.9.5. This did not work and it was no different than just compressing with srep & lzma. What was I missing in my steps?

Hi,

I'm having this issue (https://dyren.lol/2024-10-09_14-34.png) while decompressing the archives. It always happens at 41%. The files were compressed with DiskSpan and used this method for the *.vpp_pc files: xtool:mreflate+srep_new+lolz. I also tried using installers which use the Setup.dll file from DiskSpan, but pretty much the same issue happens. I also tried recompressing the files with the same method, but I got the same issue. I've been trying to find a solution to this for like 2 days and I'm really out of ideas. If someone could give me a hint on what could be the problem I would really appreciate it.

[kj911]

dyren: These green lines, added from "cls.ini" file, LOLZ sections??

ldmfTempPath=.\
ldmfMaxMemoryUsage=32m
ldmfDeleteTmp=0

This difference two configs fom "temporary" path define/commands is equal, same effects?

"TempPath=.\ " < = > "ldmfTempPath=.\ "

Another questions:

1. Best possibble compression methods from Trainz Simulator 2012?? Checked "Conversion" subforums, not found specialized methodology, found simple DVD9 to 2*DVD5 only.

2. More released games (cca. 2010+ years), contains lossless high-res audio files? Typically 24/32bit and upto 48kHz to 192kHz (or more) sample rates...

Setting ldmfTempPath= to " .\ " worked, thanks a lot!! It was set to "{app}" before. I feel kinda dumb, didn't know that the solution was this simple.

Did you use the correct key?
Did you use the correct oodle library?

Edit:
I checked. UE5 archives are enrypted, you need a key to decrypt them. The key is
0xB2407C45EA7C528738A94C0A25EA8F419DE4377628EB30C0 AE6A80DD9A9F3EF0

Game files are the early access version with no extra DLC, 27.5 GB to 24 GB. It's the same improper result as before. Do I need to configure something else in DS?

[KaktoR]

I have not tested much, but you could rip JP/EN language and 720p/1080p/2160p movies aswell to get a bit better ratio.

I simply have no time atm to test deeper.

Edit: Sorry I used wrong command line syntax. I just realized this now lol.

What shady encryption is "LEGO Harry Potter 2024 Collection" using actually?

[Masquerade]

^^
Not encrypted, but lzham. File table is encrypted though. Spiritovod shared a bms script on cs (ue4 keys topic) that simply extracts data - great for data mining. Reimport doesn't work due to the nature of the lzham used. FitGirl was kind enough to give me a little bit of info about it.

You can maybe get a bit better results with different "munity" methods.

You can take a lot of size off by converting the banks to ogg audio and using oggre and a hdiff patch.

[KaktoR]

You can save even more space by using an actual codec for unity plugin and the correct lz4 library.

https://i.imgur.com/5YW40iH.png

Tick verbose mode and set up unity plugin without any level settings. This way you can see what level you should use. Nowadays unity bundle assets using lz4hc with level 12 mostly.

Using LOLZ_ULTRA usually give worse results rather than using lolz. Plus she has more experience.

Spanish (ES) language files ripped

srep+lolz+oggre

This title was an interesting one as the language files (stored as fsb containers) do not have any consistent ordering within the Unity resource archives, majority. An AI/ML model, specifically an ASR model was used in conjunction with some Python scripting to determine whether a given input contained English or Spanish dialogue. Approx. 200 files had to be processed manually as they contained only a single word, or had a heavy post-processing filter applied, making it difficult to get a definitive result, overall success rate was approx. 94%. English was preferred in analysis to reduce likelihood of English files being accidentally misidentified and ripped.

Final total size of archives: 965 MiB

Based on v1.042, GOG Release

I estimate there might still be a few Spanish files I was not able to identify, with more aggressive packing techniques I think it's definitely possible to reduce overall size to ≤900 MiB.

Attached is a checksum file with all ripped files, you're welcome.

xtool (marginal zlib gains) + srep + lolz

Original Size: 22.9 GiB
Without Ripped Videos: 12.9 GiB
With Ripped Videos: 14.4 GiB

Non-EN loc., 894 MiB of "optional videos" (start-up cinematics and a 853 MiB promotional video that was used for the "Dawn of the Rise of the Fallen Machines" DLC (same video as seen in this YouTube video (https://www.******************?v=4RW6JuUYByg)), as well as the credits cinematic. Should be noted for ripped videos a dummy Bink video needs to be written from the start offset of a given ripped video, otherwise the title softlocks.

Bink videos are also unable to be packed despite being KB2j variants, either with the xtool plugin or with bpk, bpk refuses outright, xtool plugin at least detects the streams, decoding with the RAD Video Tools shows no visual or audio artefacts strangely.

Attached are some modding scripts that are useful if anyone wants to dig around the files further, I know the original XBOX release had assets compressed with LZ4 (From watching GDC talks where Insomniac developers directly reference this) however I was unable to find any LZ4 streams in either the asset archives or in the decompressed assets, zlib streams are largely in the toc/dag files from testing.

Further gains could likely be made by compressing the audio, encoded with the *.wem structure. Spent a long time trying different approaches, very disappointed with how this one turned out but I've got quite the backlog of projects and alas I have to move on.

As for the WEM files. I tested a bit with the language files and you will gain just a small amount of ratio even if you group+squash the files into one single file.

g00s001 WEM files 733MB -> 672MB

Just make sure to exclude WEM files which are less than 100kb in size if you process them. There is always a magic line for the WEM files for which - if they less than size X - processing them will yield in zero ratio or sometimes even in negative ratio.

I feel very silly now! It just so happens out of the 3 videos I sampled all had the KB2j signature, talk about rough luck. I need to start packing WEM files, never had massive luck with them due to the annoying packing process, appreciate the advice!

[KaktoR]

Don't hassle with the language files. Imo they aren't worth to process with wemtool (just ~15mb per language if you skip all files below 100kb).

You can extract the WEM files with this tool I guess (I use another tool without 2GB limitation)
https://www.fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=497316&postcount=82

A bit messy but if you get any errors with that 2GB file limitation, just search for the first riff wavefmt stream somewhere in mid-file offset, then split this file into two halfs and use the extractor if you don't have other tools by hand. Like I said this is a bit messy but should work as a workaround. After split and extracting WEM files, erase WEM files with xtool erase command. Afterwards just merge the two files back into one file, then decode back WEM files afterwards with xtool. The rest is up to you.

If I remember correctly the total save with processed WEM files is about 200-250MB in total without language files (input ~1.27 GB).

Any tools/idea from precompressing old TRS game series? Aka TRS2004 to 2012 games used *.ja archives. Newer TRS2012 SP1 and newer 20xx versions use (probably uncompressed) only *.tzarc game files.

Very old TRS2004 related *.ja extractor added and *.ja archive sample from the TRS2012 game.

In last stage, the overall best methods from *.ja files:

RAZOR only (stdio version) with 1023mb dictionary size, the files shrunked to 4.22GB.

Any rest files use in: xZLib/xtool+msc+delta+srep+lolz or xZLib/xtool+RAZOR

Output size differences abysmal, less than ~0.5MB's compressed size. (RZ used 256MB dict size. Larger probably get in 0.5-2MB extra size reduction.) The game not easily fit to onto ONE DVD5 sizes.

ScOOt3r

Based on what is this zlib? Just because somebody included xtool into compression method it does not means that xtool is infact used, nothing is expanded, it just gets skipped and it does nothing. You will get exactly the same "gain" if not using xtool:zlib at all, all gain (small) is from srep+lolz, xtool:zlib is just placebo.
This game uses xtool:kraken (pakchunk51-WindowsNoEditor.pak) but you have to decrypt it with xtool unreal plugin, use known key.
