Can someone help me for Star Wars Battlefront II(2016)? Can't be compressing. I will test 1048MB with "XLZ4+srep+lzma2" but 1020MB. Next I'm try with "XZSTD+Srep+lzma2" but again 1010MB. What's this problem?

Thank you soo much;):). Frostbite usually uses "lz4". But this is a different method
ME:A used zstd too. So with this BF2 it's the third game I saw that use zstd compression.

if i remember it should inflate to 87gb with xtool(zstd) or you can use ztool 32bit with libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll...
this is the files for xtool that i used

KaktoR, i did Andromeda too some time ago, just looked to my installer and its 29,6GB (a bit higher then doofoo24) but with d64 on lolz, so size should be something around 29-30gb without problem.
If it helps, i didnt touched on this game the chunksize on xtool, it was default by ultraarc 2900, if i remember well c32mb on xtool and other tools included on uarc 2900. I remember this because it was one of my first conversions here hehehe.
Edit: Also my original ripped size (after ripping files) is 2gb lower then yours v1.10 too.
^
I have only ripped EN+FR languages.
I will try again with just d128m for lolz (but actually I don't want to wait again 18 hours)

Need new tool to unpack files
if i remember it should inflate to 87gb with xtool(zstd)
I'm on 88GB inflate, have just checked (without extra stuff like soundtrack).
Latest version directly from Origin (legit copy), EN+FR language ripped (except subtitle files, they are just a few kb in size).
I will let lolz running over night with d128m option only.

06-12-2018, 12:26
Maybe german language files are bigger KaktoR, i just removed all languages (only let english) and all other bonus stuff but with subtitles (legit too from Origin as my others ME Games). I cant exactly remember all stuff i have ripped, are languages only EN+FR+DE ? Im not sure but IT is almost included on all ME Games as voice language too (not sure about andromeda). My game size doesnt reach 47gb with all those stuff ripped (have to install it again but on installer it says i need 46800 so i suppose its something like that haha).
Ok yes, english voice files are ~2.09GB, german voice files are ~2.6GB
This game only has EN/FR/DE voice.
Thanks for your feedback.

Yeah, this also happens to much more games. Some have small difference in sizes and others have big ones (so dont wonder if you get some mb less or more on same compressions). And those language files are always sound files, so they dont compress well.

Probably you get more out of it with lolz and ww2ogg (I don't have checked .wem files yet) and convert ogg back to original after unpacking.
I will test with lolz and report back soon.

Hi, here is a new method for this game, this time with better installation time and better ratio (it fits perfect in a bd25 disc). My idea was to not touch this game again in 1-2 weeks but DiCaPrIo gave me an idea yesterday to make it work with ztool.
Big Thanks DiCaPrIo, the c256m setting worked !!!

Mask Method: no compression on *.pck files
binkpack on *.bk2 files
pzlib:max:c256m+srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 on rest of files
Compress Time: 16 hours 15 minutes (58538.66 sec)
Install Time: 13 minutes
CRC Checked: Yes
Note:
Important to set up c256m on ztool or it will not work, the compression time is
slow because it takes over 9 hours only with ztool.
Also removing the credits.bik will give you 700mb better output if you wish.
I did another little test with xtool setting up same chunksize and using latest zlib version from official page. Seems the ratio is a little bit better but is also much more faster. Have to try it with the full game, maybe in 1 week or 2.
@JustFun, if you wish you can delete my previous method or leave it but this is almost better except for the compression time.
Trying with XTool now and seems to get very slow at 2.4% (it's now on 3.2% and 4 hours gone into the land). Something is wrong with the streams of this game i guess.
PS: My installation is only 42.3GB with only 1 language.

It didn't work for me too.
I tried both method (xtool and pzlib)
it was very slow and it showed197 hours remaining so I canceled it. any new setting?

Dishonored 2 is a real pain, the only method that works is using latest ZTool and its important to use it with chuncksize 256m or it will not work (crc errors on installation). Its slow, seems sometimes that it freezes but let it go for some hours (takes about 8-9 hours only on ztool, maybe more on slower systems).
For xTool i downloaded the official zlib dll (but one of razors test dll works too, the test2 or test3, cant remember now) and its faster. That was the reason why i didnt post the full method of the game on Xtool, because there are more steps then just using xTool.
Also my ripped size is less then 41gb (didnt touched the game again with the new updates hahah)
To be sure, use ztool, its slow but its finally doing it (even if its seems to freeze sometimes, its going faster later)
Even 4x4:lzma takes a long time. This game is a pain indeed.
I have abortet xtool and never touch it again on this game. :D
Will keep 2xBD25's then for all of the three games.

Yeah i spend many days on it,even done before a reflate method in dirty way (it was my nightmare hahaha). Do you remember that i send you a pack for xtool on private on these days? If you have it, it has the official page .dll that i used some weeks later.
Also it works perfect on ztool, dont be scared if it says 200 hours, its because it freezes a bit and is slow inflating the whole game. I think that with latest updates it can take 10 hours only on ztool but at least it will install fine and is fast on installation.

I will try with provided xtool 0.2 on D2 now

Simorq, is that v2 the test v2 from the dev forum of xtool? It was the version i used later and it was fast but also downloading the zlibwapi from the official page and replacing it on xtool v0.9 works too and is also fast. The only issue i had was that with chunksizes c32/c64 i got crc errors on extraction. Didnt try c128 but c256 worked as on ztools (with the difference that it only tooks some minutes on xtool).
Kaktor, yes, same story for DotO (only that this one tooks a bit less hehehe).
Im scared to make this game again with the last update, had never so much problems hehehe
Ok after 20 minutes it's on 2.8% with XTool 0.2 (t100p,c128m) for D2
If it's not finished in 6 hours i will delete this crap :D
Razor12911 released version 2 for the D2 and DotO games and is stable for these two games.
These files should not be with XTool.exe
libzstd.dll

And it get stuck again on 2.8% (45 minutes now).

Hello everyone,
and for Frostpunk (steam) please what is the best compression?
because I did not see this information in the forum.
cordially
Should be zlib(xtool)+srep+lolz

first off the recoding of bk2 but it was not done to reduce quality just to solve errors with bpk compression i kept the same bitrate so the video is still lossless
also i took the 1080p and reduced it to 720p with the same bitrate
recoded bk2 to bik with a .bk2 file extension so the game recongizes it

Movie folder bk2 has multi languages bk2, so i removed all except english and used bpk to compress to 8.68gb from 9.83gb (without credits).
*you can re-encoded with lower bitrate to achieve smaller size like 4gb to 5gb, so you can get 14gb -15gb final size...

bk2 with bpk+srep...
nothing ripped (you can remove time lapse bk2)
*note if you use m3f/m5f on forge files you can improve compression to 12.7gb but srep need 15gb of ram in dec, using m2f:c512 srep need 8gb...
it will improve install time on hhd or less write cycle on ssd.

yes i thought the same,
After i try everything on that game...
srep+lzms or loz won't make any difference 100% ratio or 99.9%... And i stop during tje compression cause its not gonna work. Need precomp for that one..
maybe it zlib.. But like you said its encrypted or singed.

you can change mt8 to 4,
it won't effect much on ratio
but it will slow the process time..
if you want, you can use mt1, and it will effect on ratio,
and process time will be extremely SLOW!!!
if you use mt1, try using mc1023, also bpk.
cause maybe you can come to 5xDVD, instead of 6.
but i can't say for sure,
try and see what's happen

just use xtool 0.9 with raw2hif_dll.dll-hif2raw_dll.dll.
setting for xtool
packcmd = xtool.exe e:precomp:c128mb,t4:zlib - - <stdin> <stdout>
the files are there and same settings used that's strange, i will redownload the files again.
Are you using x86 or x64 version of xtool and it's libraries?
danswano
15-01-2019, 04:41
x64,
as i said just use xtool with (zlibwapi.dll/raw2hif_dll.dll/hif2raw_dll.dll) better to remove other dll like (lz4.dll/lzo2...)
Already removed all other dlls and kept the ones you mentioned no gain, i've used xtool many times and it's working fine except this type of games that have *.pc_textures files :confused:

srep+lolz faster compression, but is no better.
why we are written method compression without parameters?
I do not understand the meaning of this topic.
use precompressor or not. and all.
Method compression's without parameters are written when default settings are used mate.
Don't like the topic? Then skip it!
This topic is only meant for sharing methods and discussion about them, off-topic posts are not welcome tbh, I personally hate when I have to browse through a lot of unimportant posts in order to find shared methods so I can add them to the Index it is really time consuming sometimes mate, and by doing so we waste moderator's time too for no reason.
So please guys keep it on topic. If you have something helpful to add please do, if you have a question or problem compressing some game please ask, but everything else that isnt helping or seeking help, keep it for yourself!
Thank you!

@JustFun your work is impeccable, and the threads is an excellent source for the boys of the forum, and we all thank you, but personally I see him messed up in some points.
I'll give you an example you posted this:
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Game Size: 1.92 GB
Compressed Game Size: 790 MB
Version: v1.1.102.0
Ripped: Nothing
Methods:
bpk+srep on Videos
msc+srep on Sound and Voice files (MP2_Voice.ras, MP2_Sound.ras)
srep+lolz on everything else
OK then you write that you used a method, but you show the name of 3 pairs of internal compressors, how did you use them?
Did you use this method? "-mbpk+msc+srep+lolz" I do not think so.:confused:
Have you used a masked method of this type "-msrep+lolz/$wavloss=msc+srep/$bink=bpk+srep" for the game in question? Maybe.:rolleyes:
You have scanned the data folder of the game, and you have created a list of files for each format, inserting the types of files in 3 different folders, a folder for the video formats, one for the audio formats and all the rest of the files in the last folder, in the end you have created an archive with this method "bpk+srep", a second archive with this "msc+srep", and everything else with the last method "srep+lolz" the third archive. Feasible but crazy.:eek:
I hope that the concept has been understood.:)

And that's what I intend to do, create an application that thanks to you all and to the work of @JustFun, recreates the same list contained in the INDEX https://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=469405&postcount=1 with more than 500 games, updatable accordingly, with a dictionary structured in this way:
"Game Name - Internal Languages - Method or Mask - Archives Number - Comp/Time - Comp/Ratio - Archive Size Compressed - Link Number Thread".
Something useful for everyone, quick to browse, with an infinite list games on current and future methods of compression used.;)
@felice2011 and @RestOfYou :D
Yepp, files are separated, then compressed according to the file type, for example Videos are done using -mbpk+srep, I didn't specify any extra {options}, I literally put -mbpk+srep command into cmd and left it to do its job. Why? I prefer speed!
Also Srep isn't always the best option, but I prefer it because installation is faster.
Best method doesn't always have to be smaller size, some people would rather have faster compression/installation over smaller size.
That is the point of this thread, to have multiple choices of methods to choose from, either use one that will give you smaller size or one that sacrifices few MB`s/GB˙s, but has faster compression/decompression.
I hope I clarified good enough so you guys can understand what I meant to say. ;)

Why?
Example:
1. msc. -ddsDXT=1; -bmf=9; -raw=0; - default;
bmf not stable. (does not support some cpu). (and lolz have dds filters)
raw=2 better audio search.
better -mmsc:ddsDXT=0:raw=2
Best method doesn't always have to be smaller size, some people would rather have faster compression/installation over smaller size.
2. lolz. -fba256; - default;
better -mlolz:fba4096
or look -mtt and -mt usage.
3. srep. -m3; - default;
cls-srep don't support m3 metod. need using m3f.
4. Read how to use it first, before using the default options.

So let me understand, because I'm having trouble with your posts, you posted 3 separate methods that can be chosen is used for compression of the entire game, the 3 methods differ from (Max Speed/Min Compression), (Average Speed/Medium Compression), (Max Compression/Min Speed).
It's right ?:D
Nope mate!
Like I said, files are separated, bpk+srep are used on videos, msc+srep on sound files, and srep+lolz on everything else, so in the end you have 3 separate archives.
I find it easier doing this way, because for example if you want to change voice pack language you don't have to re-compress whole game, just sound files, which can save you a lot of time sometimes.

Wow mate, your post could be more clear and detailed, saving time and unnecessary posts to understand, at this point I would have structured your post this way:
Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne
Game Size: 1.92 GB
Compressed Game Size: 790 MB
Version: v1.1.102.0
Ripped: Nothing
Game Splitted in 3 Archive :
Archive 1
Methods: bpk+srep on Videos
Arch/Size = 395MB (just an example)
Archive 2
Methods: msc+srep on Sound and Voice files (MP2_Voice.ras, MP2_Sound.ras)
Arch/Size = 275MB (just an example)
Archive 3
Methods: srep+lolz on everything else
Arch/Size = 120MB (just an example)
And finally I would have added the precious information of why :)
I find it easier doing this way, because for example if you want to change voice pack language you don't have to re-compress whole game, just sound files, which can save you a lot of time sometimes.
Logically this is just my personal opinion of how a post should be structured in this thread, but you are free to structure your posts as you like.;)
The partial concept also concerns @dopofoo24, which always seems to me Wednesday in the middle of the week.:p:D

Totally agree with that. I think there is absolutly nothing wrong on how JustFun has posted that games, it shows how he has done the compression, the game size, version, etc... I prefer this kind of posts more then others which you dont even know game version or the original size or if even something is ripped or not (that is important). And exact parameters doesnt really matter on such small games.

if you think that posts in 3 words with information how to compress is enough, then I have nothing more to say.
I will try to explain myself what i want to say. On really small games like that, the gain between the lolz or srep settings is so small that it isnt even worth, if 20-30mb are worth to you, then fine, do it yourself and post back the results here, im pretty sure many people will appreciate it.
If i see a post without exact parameters i will use the settings according to what i can use on my machine, so same way posting in "3 words" like you say, is also useless in posting a full method because not all people have 32gb ram, or 16gb, or 8gb. As JustFun said, some people prefer speed over size, this threat is not meant to beat WorldRecord sizes in compressions, its a thread for helpings, take it as a reference.
Every person is free to post on the way he wants, complaining about that is not nice. Just my opinion, dont take things to heart xD

There is no inflate, but I'm used to testing individual groups of files, before compressing an entire game, and the method indicated is the one that most satisfied me in Time/Comp-Ratio, the result you can read of the size of the output archive.:rolleyes:
Furthermore, the compression was splitted into 3 archives, if I had created a single archive, the compression ratio would have been even lower.;)

Yeah, im doing the same on all games where bk2 videos wont work with bpk. If you do it in good way there is no visible quality loss but its still lossy. Also its good to check if all bk2 videos are having trouble with bpk because on some games like AC Unity, only 1 video has problems with it, so there is really no need to recompress them all.

What is the difference between mt type 0 and 1?
-mtt [0..1] - for multi-threaded processing, indicates the mode of operation used. At 0, the dictionary size must be at least 2 times the block size. In this mode, the data for each stream will be loaded alternating in size into a block. In this mode, in most cases, you can achieve better compression than in the second, but unpacking will require such a number of threads, as in compression. With 1, each block is compressed separately, without dependencies on neighboring data, respectively, the compression here is usually worse than in the first mode, but you can specify any number of streams to decompress. For this mode, the options from cliniot MaxThreadsUsage and MaxMemoryUsage are applied. Default: -mtt0

method decrypting recoding
recoded video files using format factory, vgmtoolbox and scaleform encoder
also decrypted the UE4 .pak files i will link the tool i used for decrypting below
before recoding videos the game was 60 gigs afterwards 39 gb
after decrypting the game has zlib streams..
method of compression
xtool is used
xzlib+srep+lolz:dt1:dtp1:dto1:dtm1:dtw1:dtd1:mtt0: mt6:d100m:tt4 h14:fba4096:mc1023:bc8:blr8:bm

Resident Evil 2 is not precompressing well using xtool zlib
Anyone knows a better method to use on it?
Title: Husk
Version: Update5
PC: 6 Cores 3.2GHz + 16GB Ram + HDD + DiskSpan

tip:
Srep uses 2GB of RAM to decompress.
If you compress without REP, Srep uses 4GB of RAM to decompress.

Lolz not always has better output then lzma, but the advantage of it is still decompression speed. Anyways, it depends much on cores and ram you have. Mtt0 sometimes performs better then Mtt1 but it depends on the game, also mtt0 needs at least same cores for decompression. I would try out to set mtt1 instead of mtt0, you dont really need to change mtb on mtt1 as the block size can be the same as the dictionary size, in your case d128. On mtt0 the mtb size should be always half or less then the dictionary size. Another things that can maybe help is setting up fba4096 and gm20. As its a small game you can test those things. For example, if you have 2 threads lolz:mtt1:mt2:d128m:mc1023:fba4096:gm20 (this will use something around 2.7gb of ram). If you have 4 cores and set it up to mt4 it will around 5.5gb. Another go is to do it on a single threat like mt1 and rise the dictionary size to d512 or less (depending how much ram you have). As said, as its a small game you can try out some settings but there is nothing "global" for all games, settings can be good or bad on other games.

just use test22c4b without srep

I removed any mention of WAREZ, this means group names, game versions etc.
you not only broke those rules you also posted a direct link to warez site, which is

Did someone tried using the unpacking/modding tools from RE7 on RE2R? I have made my own RE7 Gold repack into the 20gb (i think 20.1 or something), without it it would be 4-5gb bigger. Probably on RE2 you can apply the same method before using Xtool on it, at least i have already seen today some Mods for RE2, pretty sure there is already a way to unpack those .pak files.
@Masen485: You should already know after so much months here that this is not permitted

i also repacked re7 gold edition it isn't encrypted so you can easily extract it
but anytime i go to extract re2 remake it will not allow me giving me a error its encrypted i am currently looking for something i can use for it as well
just use test22c4b without srep

Tested with that settings, result is 360MB and it took several hours :(
Difference is just 4MB with razor and that was a lot faster.
Seems lolz isn't good for this particular game.

Let me know if you find something, i think there is something out, have seen some reworked textures yesterday so somehow they already managed to unpack them. Bit busy with other things but i will also take a look on this weekend. Not just for compressing the game, also taking a look how mod friendly this game could be.

What makes me angry about lolz is that there is no logic of use in its options, too many built-in options, and testing it thoroughly I realize that using different options in most cases there is no difference in Compression Time and Compression Ratio.
It is the only compressor that unnerve me by using it, but I've already abandoned it for some time.

you can use msc on audio files to improve ratio...

Confusing compressor indeed. Currently only 4x4:t2:lzma:16mb:lc8 is the thing that works best for my shitty pc. It's fast and compression ratio is almost same as other lzma settings(2-4mb difference). Though only 16mb dictionary is used here, it actually beats 64/128/512mb dict in a lot of cases.

Good idea. I wonder why didn't I think of that? :confused:

Or you can just pack the files back into their original archive during installation. I have made Resident Evil 2 Repack (Eng Only, Except Useless Videos), size = 14.3 GB. Its not really a good idea to play with unpacked files = slow loading times.

Hi,
what is the best compression method for the Jump Force game?
thank you

12-02-2019, 13:55
since the game has zlib files (pakchunk0-WindowsNoEditor.pak/pakchunk1-WindowsNoEditor.pak)...
just use zlib+srep+lolz...
you can remove EndCredit.mp4 / SkillMP4...

On xentax tool only for unpacking and it's all. Game archives without compression.
Problem poor compression in game resources inside archives like vfs
Well you could rip texture sizes out you don't need (512, 1024, 2048).
But I didn't have tested if the game is still playable then.

It's only Unpacking Game files. I don't think it's work properly.. Better wait for Razor Precompressor...
