WWE 2K19
the oodle precompressor from Razor12911 was used in this repack
https://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=102453

method
converted all bk2 to bik with a bk2 file extension so the game recognizes it
and to avoid bpk compression errors bitrate is the same so the video is lossless due to that

game tested and working fine

-----note
careful with the telltale tool i only used it on season 1 do not use it unless you are willing to play the game all the way through to make sure nothing is messed up
messing with the ttarch2 files even just decrypting them you can seriously mess the game up
the files were also decrypted but i opened the game up to fix the exorcist
like head movements (savvy with video animation so i can do that in alot of games)

bpk+srep make any sense?

If i remember right srep does change nothing in size after bpk was applied.

[Andu21]

^Depends on the input, in this case bpk only gives 386 MB.

[JustFun]

Yeah Andu21 is right, it depends, sometimes srep can give you few MB`s.

[KaktoR]

Ok didn't noticed it.

PS: ME2 with uelr:uv is not a good idea...

5 hours 40 minutes so far installing (because uelr told me "SLOW LZO-STREAMS!" :D)

also tip for making radtools encode to bink2
if you are batching wait until it compiles the list..
open a notepad and copy and paste the contents
into the notepad.
in the notepad click replace..
in (find what) type bik
in (replace with) type bk2
click replace all..
replace the radbatch with the notepad edit and click start.

Actually, my repack is about 50mb smaller due to Setup.exe (I've used my own conversion), so 24.75 GB to be exactly.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1,2 and 3 only
Repack type: Extract and Rebuild
Basically it restores .wav from .ogg and rebuilds folders to .iwd files
.ff files = Precomp+whatever you want
.bik files = binkpack
.iwd files = same as above
.iwd sound files = oggenc(below)
Rip Multiplayer = see below
eg. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Ripped Multiplayer
11.9 GB = 5.85 GB

For audio its a batch process, Use 7z to extract .iwd files with sound files in it. Start from bottom to top. Then compress .wav files and later delete them, but before deleting make sure there are as many .ogg files as there are .wav files. If there are for eg. 100 ogg files but 102 wav files it means oggenc wasn't able to compress 2 files, so you have to manually check in each iwd folder for these 2 files and make sure you don't delete them. Now copy zip.exe to "main" folder where other iwd files are located and oggdec in game folder. Create a batch files using notepad and type the below code

This ones for Decompressing . ogg to .wav, you can also use this code to compress .wav files.
for /R main %%i in (*.ogg) do oggdec.exe -Q "%%i"

This one to only delete files with same extension like .ogg
del /f /q /s engine\*.ogg >nul

After restoring the wav files, this code will compress the folder back to .iwd file, just replace iw_15 to the files you extracted, and you have to copy the entire code below for each .iwd file you restore, and after restoration this code will automatically delete the folder as well
cd iw_15
..\zip a -tzip -r iw_15.iwd -mx1
move iw_15.iwd ..
cd ..
del /f /q /s iw_15\*.*
rd /q /s iw_15

Now after putting the batch file, oggdec and zip.exe
To delete multiplayer Go in Zone folder and delete every file with _mp, _mp_ etc. but be careful and double check everytime, also you can delete mp audio files, in extracted iwd folders check for folder mp and delete it, thats it.

Have Fun.

[darkwolves]

re doing a few of my games with lolz... also using a more powerful ram eating srep... i have been posting ram easy methods because not everyone has extremely powerful computers but i feel its time to show some slightly higher memory hog methods for those who do... will post updates if better i am new to it and its a new toy to test will also soon be posting more need for speed games :cool:

[ZakirAhmad]

used srep +exe2 +delta + lolz on exes dlls etc files.
used srep +lolz on fat and dat files
and msc + srep +lz77 on
size is 2.7gb higher than FG (only 11.4gb) but extraction speed is 6x than hers on my pc.
required size is same as game size if u have enough ram.

It would be nice if anyone do a repack on just cause 3.

@hos11 do you know what kind of streams it has?
i personally do not own it
Razor made a file scanner if i took a stab in the dark i would say it uses zlib
but you need to know what streams it has before anyone can help you...
or if someone who has repacked it happens to see this

below is the link to Razors file scanner so you can scan it yourself
then you may be able get some help

http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=99270

[darkwolves]

@darkwolves I Befor scan that and i know streams Ztool.
I use this method for repack: pzlib+srep:m3f:l128+lzma:ultra+lolz But i recive 70% ratio :eek:.
i need best method for 45% ratio or little ratio.
ztool isn't a stream its a tool
what is arc command for your ztool let me see it please?

[darkwolves]

@hos11

i attatched a file for pzlib3 try adding it to your setup and try the following method
pzlib3+srep:m3f:l128:a1+lolz:dt1:dtp1:dto1:dtm1:dt w1:dtd1:mtt0:mt#d64m:tt4 h14:fba4096:mc1023:bc8:blr8:bm

were it says # above change that number to your desire dependant on the amount of threads(cores) you have.. pzlib3 gets a better ratio its pretty much on par with precomp0.38 but faster

pzlib3 credit goes to Razor12911

[darkwolves]

@hos11 ah i see you use freearc i do not i use my own compressor based off pankers masked compressor i learned how to make it from his
one thing i do know if you mix lolz with lzma on the same thing it can have a negative effect i would only use lolz they could be interfereing with eachother

[darkwolves]

@darkwolves dear Is it possible to upload your compressor for me and teach your comprosser for me?
what kind of installer do you use?

[darkwolves]

@darkwolves
Inno setup

hmm mine is a modified wpi installer
the compressor is designed to be directly compatible with it

[darkwolves]

please upload me.
please:)

alright i just need time to edit and for my repack to finish lol

[darkwolves]

so you up Incomplete tools for me.
i need this tool for progress working in repack.
if you help me i thanked you.
I'm unlucky this repacking and cmoping.
thankes

the tools are not incomplete i have to edit it to were you can easily put your own settings passwords etc plus i am going to throw in some compression methods

[darkwolves]

Hello guys, I have seen there are a lot of threads by some of you asking for best compression methods for 'specific' games.
So lets prevent spamming the forum with those threads and keep all of the questions and answers in one place, it will be easier for everyone.

So please share your best compression methods here for specific games, or if you want to know what is the best compression for a particular game please ask here.

Thank you!

funny thing is it still worked even like that

sorry i do not have just cause 3

That was a typing error and u still didnt tried to find what is wrong.

@darkwolves

use this setting.

lolz:dt1:dtp1:dto1:dtm1:dtw1:dtd1:mtt0:mt#d64m:tt4 :oh14:fba4096:mc1023:bc8:blr8:bm8

replace # with number of threads u want.
every thread will use 700mb of ram during compression. and during decompression (around 100mb).
since we have used mtt0(ratio will not be affterted because of multithreading) number of threads during decompression will be equal to number of threads during compression.

That was a typing error and u still didnt tried to find what is wrong.

yeah i did actually.....at one point i did do that but it crashed on ztool
i've since changed the pzlib settings and am test running it hasn't crashed
only on with ztool though something about the setting i was using was conflicting...

[ZakirAhmad]

At my side it never crashed.

[darkwolves]

At my side it never crashed.
like i said it was my pzlib ztool settings

i was using

packcmd = ZTool e:pzlib:m2:t8:st8:ct8:rx:x - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = ZTool d:pzlib:t8 - - <stdin> <stdout>

and now i am using

packcmd = ZTool e:{compressor}{:option}:t75p:c128m Input - <stdout>
unpackcmd = ZTool d:{compressor}{:option}:t75p:cm0mb - - <stdin> <stdout>
datafile = Input

now it doesn't crash but your post caused me to try it again i had other things i was doing

[ZakirAhmad]

used afr +srep +lolz with mt2 on .forge files

bpk +srep on .bik excluding Abestergololgo.bk2 (bpk produces error with this single video)

srep+ lz77 on sound files

previously i did repack of AC unity with ztools plzo but it was bigger around 500mb than afr version and took around 30 minutes more to install using same no. of threads.

BTW, it takes around 1 hour to install on my core i3 4 thread pc + hdd 5400rpm.

Enjoy.

Why u used #precompt over lolz???

becuse .xml file and audio file end of .cpk file of pes2018.

are you sure? ive used it many times but on the 158 or 200 mb part yes it crashes if you try to use anything above that
the 4x4:t2:b2047m is a multithread trick if using lzma2.exe an not the 7zip one by removing 4x4 from fazip arc command..
it will force the arc.exe to handle the 4x4 and there will be 2 lzma2 threads instead of one also works on rzm

Don't let people stop you. All you shared compress methods is a help for anyone who wanna see the aprox. ratio gained from compression. Keep doing your hobby. I have a list of repacked games that i made, and i know how hard is find the best method of compression. You doing good, dont give up.

regarding the post with the two recoded videos

http://ww2.fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=469633&postcount=387

the answer is the top one it's 122 mb the original is 273 mb

but it looks better than the original...

moral is what is wrong with recoding if i am able to do that?

[rambohazard]

I think that screens above are in .mpg, from Devil May Cry. This format in special can be recoded and the difference from the original will be minimal.
Bik is another case, if you recode at 50% for exemple, the difference can be minimal or worst. I believe if you recode a video and de image still looks good, or you recode thinking that file have amount of birthrate (e.g. A video 1280x720 - 12 MB rate), you can simple recode that file over and over again with different settings. I hope you guys have understand what i saying.
Keep doing the conversions,you're good.

i don't see it to be a shortcut by any means it actually takes time and alot of
knowledge to properly recode... the video to be that small but still have quality about the same or higher in this case the videos were the same ones from the playstation 2 port.. crappy as heck not only did i shrink them i raised the bitrate and color rate and shrunk it to a much lower resolution....
sometimes i have to open the video up and correct particles get rid of blotches etc...

i don't do like certain repack groups do and do it just to shrink it down
if i think the video is fine i won't touch it....lol

you know what you are right, sorry my bad but for Rivals which I think you compressed from blackbox repack. They did rip videos and mentioned that and I want you to do the same thing. The real size after using plz4+srep+lzma is 6.4gb with only 400 mb difference to srep+lzma 6.8gb.

ok thank you for pointing this game out... i did not have the version of it i thought i had i did indeed rip language files it totally slipped my mind
but i did nothing to the video i do not know how to get into those files to even alter them i did a side by side comparison to a newer version of the game...
an update is in order after i repack this newer version

i will still include my plz4 settings the exact dll and ztools i use and the exact srep in this message

you do not need to do extract and rebuild you just need to decrypt so you have the original compression. if instead if you do extrace and rebuild you can not have the original compression of the game ... and then (pzlib + srep + lolz)

How decrypted it?

[darkwolves]

uuh lol:)

sorry mistype
as far as what i used to decrypt with i thinking mentioning it is against forum rules there are things out there that can do it never tried them but what i use is paid software

[darkwolves]

uuh lol:)

sorry mistype corrected it thanks for pointing that out before justfun got to it lol
as far as the question about decrypting i used the telltale tool

audio file 15.4gb
*memory usage decompression with srep:m3f you will need 10gb for srep with m2f 3800mb...
you well lose 100mb to 500mb depend on the game did quick test on games that need alot of ram for decompression for srep alone like mad max/the evil within...
***you can use srep(32bit) from ProFrager it limit srep to 2gb only , in gta v total memory in decompression around 2.5gb (with pzlib+srep+lolz) with 2gb extra temp file only...

most cpu today have 4 core at least with 4gb ram...
memory usage 3400mb in compression.
memory usage per thread 128mb for decompresion.
most game that i test it lolz with 32mb/64mb/128mb/256mb found almost no benefit in increasing memory...

i hope this will help me because no matter what i do
my pc will not use more than one thread with lolz

[darkwolves]

ugh still only 1 thread using
dtp1 -dto1 -dtd1 -dtm1 -dtb1 -dtw1 -mc1023 -fba4096 -bc8 -blr8 -bm8 -oh14 -pc4 -mtt1 -mt4 -d64
maybe there is something wrong with the lolz i'm using

[darkwolves]

[External compressor:lolz]

will try that
i am always looking to better my compression

[darkwolves]

so am i :)

i have 6 cores so ill increase -mt4 to mt6 if it works

[darkwolves]

first see if your problem solved using more than one thread

that is why i said if it works :)

[darkwolves]

silly me :rolleyes:

still one thread...lol

[darkwolves]

do you have screenshot ?

i closed it out already i changed mtt1 to mtt0 just now

cpu is amd 6300 3.50 ghz 6 core

[darkwolves]

http://i64.tinypic.com/kah94l.jpg


the ram consumption is stronger on mtt1
but still 1 core even on mtt0

[darkwolves]

i test lolz on ryzen cpu r5 1600 and coffee lake cpu i7 8700k it use all core...

precompmt uses all my cores so does uharcmt
but this will not for some reason

[darkwolves]

i raised the dictionary size lets see what that does
i read something about the dictionary size needing to me larger than the block size

[darkwolves]

try mt2 but don't change mtt1 to mtt0... use it with d32

i raised the block and dictionary size to max i have 16 gigs of ram i think it can take it

[darkwolves]

i will figure this out if its the last thing i do you aren't the only one who has tried to help me but i never saw significant changes in the numbers in the compressor till you told me to put the commands on the pack command.
i call that progress

[darkwolves]

trying that now

[darkwolves]

okay still 1 core must be my cpu
one thing i notice is that each time i change a setting
it affects that one cores consumption using mtt0 the block and
dictionary size are different using mtt1 they are identical...
but the settings do seem to affect ratio as well as speed
even on one core

[darkwolves]

up to 4 cores oddly adding :mt4 behind lolz somehow did it dunno why though

Any one Know Here How to Compress Assassins Creed Liberation HD(About 3gbs)?

I already compressed the game(Now its 1.56gb, Everything working fine) but i want more compression any suggestions.

Used these compression methods(Created 3 parts)
Part1-------------------------------------
on .forge files i used -mafr+srep+lolz
Where srep options were -m3f -ia- l512
and lolz options were -d256mb -tt8 -mc1023
Part2---------------------------------------------
on .pck sound files i used srep64+lolz
where srep64 options were -m5f -ia- -l512
and lolz options were -d256mb -tt8 -mc1023
Part3--------------------------------------------
on .txt, .exe, .dll etc files(left files)
used srep+dispack+lolz


Is there anything else i can achieve ultra compression?

[PsYcHo_RaGE]

This Little Code might be helpful to beginners(I am also the beginner;))
Hope you will found it helpful, Any suggestions are always welcome:D

By Compressing Unreal Engine Files for e.g .tfc, .upk, .umap etc etc
I have found that by using uelr+srep64+lolz given me the compression rate was slightly strong than using uelr+srep+lolz
Note: srep options were -m3f -ia- -l512 compressed 1289kb-->848kb
srep64 options were -m3f -ia- -l512 compressed 1289kb-->846kb
So my opinion is to use uelr+srep64( -m3f -ia- -l512 )+lolz on these unreal engine files

On Compressing sound .pck files compression rate was slightly great using srep64+lolz than using srep+lolz
Note: srep options were -m3f -ia- -l512 56.5mb-->48.6mb(1kb increased as compared to srep64)
srep64 options were -m3f -ia- -l512 56.5mb-->48.6mb
srep64 options were -m5f -ia- -l512 56.5mb-->48.5mb
srep64 options( without -ia- ) were -m5f -l512 56.5mb--> 48.6(9kb decreased as compared to srep64(48.6mb)
So my opinion is to use srep64( -m5f -ia- -l512 )+lolz on these .pck sound files

On compressing sound .pck files compression was awesomely fast by using srep64+lzma:ultra(but 2mb increase in file that i used to compress) than using srep64+lolz(slow compression), i think lzma is doing better in .pck files

On compressing .forge files with afr+srep64+lolz taken much time(headache) than using afr+srep64+lzma:ultra(fast compression but about 187mb in increase in file that i used to compress
NOTE: My file size was 1.91GB

As far as i know now i have tested a 35,264kb .forge file and the compression test was this:
by using afr+srep(options)+lolz Based on srep(options) there was slight changing in compression
by using afr+srep64(options)+lolz Based on srep64(options) there was also slight changing in compression
{options of srep} using srep(-m3f -ia- -l512) compression was from 35,264kb-->10,397kb
using srep(-m5f -ia- -l512) compression was from 35,264kb-->10,463kb
but if we use srep(-m3f -l512) compression will be from 35, 264kb-->10,398kb (1kb increased without using -ia-)
but if we use srep(-m5f -l512) compression will be from 35, 264kb-->10,464kb (1kb increased without using -ia-)
{options of srep64} using srep64(-m3f -ia- -l512) compression was from 35,264kb-->10,400kb
using srep64(-m5f -ia- -l512) compression was from 35,264kb-->10,458kb
but if we use srep64(-m3f -l512) compression will be from 35, 264kb-->10,401kb (1kb increased without using -ia-)
but if we use srep64(-m5f -l512) compression will be from 35, 264kb-->10,459kb (1kb increased without using -ia-)
At last i think for .forge files it's good to use srep(-m3f -ia- l512) but it may differ from time to time

you should never try to re encode any video file unless you absolutely know what you are doing
or else you can be prone to crashes videos with music but no voice sound or no sound at all...

okay i have a dilemma i have been extracting .cpk files then repacking the game
then packing the files back up after install games work perfect
problem is there is one file i have run into that i cannot extract...
from sonic forces (wars_0.cpk) crashes when nearly 7 gigs have been extracted
does anyone know of a tool i can extract this file with i want to repack it and add the tools etc to the list...

[ZakirAhmad]

@darkwolves. i already tried with this but this thing needs .net 3.5 which might not be available on users machine during instilation.

I wonder where FG gets her tools (i mean they r only few kBs of size)

BtW @darkwolves if this is something else, please include only required files because downloading big files at my side is hell impossible

i think she makes some of them there are many advantages to using generic innoscript and knowing how to write them

@actually. our internet is blocked by india from last 5days and i am using a tunneling software. My speed is too damn slow because of it.

It would be a nice idea if u could create a thread where we could share tools that can be used to rebuild game files. like bms scripts etc.

Didn't used anything other than srep, the audio files aren't much compressible and didn't wanted to spend hours for a little gain

[darkwolves]

i have to deal with that with cpk files unpacking compressing then after installing
packing the files back up but its the only way i know to compress cpk
the only reason i do it is because i have gain.....but packing a 16gb cpk file back up can take hours...i call it sleeptime method because that is when i do it..lol

there is no precompressor for crilayla based games (AKA) .cpk
that thread explains they must be extracted then compressed
and then the file must be manually packed back up even provides a tool
