But with only 1 language final size is 85.4GB.
I would say something about 20GB saved (if not more).

^^
So basically, this game engine no longer uses LZO which means AFR is useless.
Now this engine uses oodle, and Valhalla has managed to use it without the oodle plugin.
Ubisoft use a different variant of this oodle 7 plugin, which only appears in one game AFAIK. This was probably released as the first iteration of their engine change. I think Valhalla is the first Oodle game that doesn't contain a plugin.
This plugin appears in Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and works on Valhalla as demonstrated above.
Here's the oodle 7 core you must use:
I use a different library (998KB) and it works too.

how do I download Lolz? I couldn't find any website or download link.
LOLZ library is hosted on Krinkels forum, they changed theur rules so you must contribute to the forum in order to download files.
Because I can't download it and reupload it here (you can get banned for that) you will need to download a "pre made" compressor tool like UltraArc and take lolz_x64.exe from there. CLS-LOLZ (the unpacker) you can get from ASIS script. Then you are sorted.

This is a fun one! Read the steps carefully!
This is not MD5 perfect, but completely lossless.
This works on version v1.10 - but could change on newer versions! I checked the key using at0mos key dumper and it matches with the key in the current build of the below tool.
Part 1 - Decrypt the files:
1. Go here (https://github.com/gabriel-dehan/WolcenExtractor/releases/tag/wolcen-1.0.0-r1.0.1).
2. Download the zip and extract it. You need pakdecrypt.exe.
3. Go to your Wolcen folder, go into "Game".
4. Paste pakdecrypt here and make a new batch file.
5. In the batch file, paste this command:
for %%f in (*.pak) do pakdecrypt %%f %%f.zip
6. Run the bat file (do not run as administrator) and wait for the process to complete.
Part 2 - Preparing the files:
1. Copy all of the old pak files to a separate folder, since we no longer need them BUT it's always good to have a backup of the original copy.
2. Make a new batch file and paste this command:
ren *.zip *.
(this is to restore the .pak extension to the files)
3. Move / Delete the 2 batch files and pakdecrypt.exe (no longer needed)
Part 3 - Compression:
1. Make first archive using these files:
Sounds_MISC.pak
Sounds-WEM.pak
Compress using:
srep+mtx:c64m:tXXX:rz
(where XXX is your thread count)
2. Make the next archive with every other files:
xzlib+srep+lolz
Total Compressed size: 12.09GB :D
Removed:
1. Sound files except english
2. Multiplayer files
3. Support files

It's really damn slow, was wondering if anyone knows how long it's expected to go for.

Spent ages patching videos out of Cyberpunk 2077 just for bpk to do that endless extraction thing.
What a waste of time :(
Managed to get it to 36.9GB by patched out videos but since bpk does that thing you can only use srep leading to a 37.5GB repack (xtool + srep + lolz).
For the audio packs, xtool+srep+lzma2 (lolz is not worth it)
I am going to post my data sheet, here's all the videos with their decimal locations from the game ranging from largest size to smallest size (40mb) - all smaller ones were ignored.

Edit: After extracting all files from the archive and test binkpack again on all at once, you get some error warnings like "MotionData_warn". So I guess you have to separate all the "faulty" files (I guess they contain alpha channel or something). Hopefully someday profrager will update this tool and add at least a switch for this kind of files to skip them...

@kaktor I get no such "motion data warn" on the files I've patched.
And the file you tried works also for me, but on the credits video, example:
00000000000001ea.kb2
It's stuck
Yeah then it's something like a bug inside bpk or something. I compared two videos from this (0000000000000017.kb2 + 00000000000001ea.kb2) with RADTools but they seem to be identical (except for the duration and w/h ofcourse).

uelr+srep+lolz
(providing the epic game version is same as steam version)
It's different to some extent even though the folders are same, when I put the steam repack from fitgirl in the Epic Games folder, it had to redownload about 3.8gb.(Could be because of the crack too)
I used bpk+cp_2077(Xtools 2020)+xzlib+srep_new+lolz_mtx to achieve 48% compession i.e. from 12.9gb to 6.3gb.
Hope this helps anyone else in the future.
I think this is the absolute best conversion achievable since Fitgirl's old steam version was converted from 11.1gb to 5.5 i.e. also ~48%
Also any moderator looking at this you could add this to the Specific Game Index.
Your chain does not make any sense, just saying.

uhhhh ok
1. There's no need for bpk since there's no bink videos in this game
2. Why are you using the cyberpunk 2077 precompressor on not cyberpunk 2077?????? :confused::confused::confused:
3. xzlib - we're getting somewhere, but this game is made in unreal engine 3 and is compressed with lzo and not zlib (zlib is ue4) - which is why you need to use UELR [Unreal Engine LZO Recompressor]
4. srep, great!
5. lolz_mtx - this has been proven to be slower IIRC and not worth whatever result you get. If you want a fast compression, use lzma2.

Sorry if I sounded harsh, not the intention, please feel free to ask questions :D
1. Could you help me out with what can I do to create an installer for this thing.
2. It'll install correct anyways regardless of all the unwanted methods right?
Update: I managed to find a Corepack UI installer which just needed me to change the name of the file in compier.ini so I did that and it proceeded, but it gives me a the error https://prnt.sc/w85cc2
Update 2: Managed to also make installer with the default lego template provided in CIU V3 and it did start and extracted some files and hung at 0.9% without utilizing any resources. I guess my compression technique sucked more than I expected.
So, I won't be able to install it in any way or is there some way I can save time and use what I compressed initally?
2 (A). If not, could you give me a single config that I can copy paste in Diskspan GUI by CIU V3.
3. Does SSD help with speeds at a good margin. I'm using HDD (not a good one either).
4. Also if this is too much hassle, can you give me a way to make an SFX using Ultraarc.
And by the way I used Cyberpunk 2077 compresser because it said in bracket Xtools 2020 and I thought this'd be the latest Xtools. And fitgirl says it uses Xtools library by Razor 1911 on the Rocket League Page, so I figured I should too.
I made one and it was easy install too, no issues at all, I didn't know what Xtools was that time, so I used default Ztools as precompressor, Lolz, Lzma2, Srep but it only compressed to 10.1gb, I don't know if X tools would improve the compression.
Only problem I have with Ultraarc sfx is it splits files too much even in a,b,c. Any way to use diskspan to make an sfx? And also achieve this conversion.
Hope you could solve all the doubts.:D
Update: I'm now using xlzo+uelr+srep_new+lzma2 to recompress, I hope I got it right this time.
I'll just need some proper tutorial on making an installer, that's the only thing that has eaten my brain. I don't care about the graphics or anything, I just want it to work ;__;.
My aim with this is simply to compress the Epic Games version maximum possible such that I have to download less. I'm doing this on an RDP (Intel(R) Xeon(R) Platinum 8168 CPU @ 2.70GHz 4 cores 8gb ram) which doesn't have bandwidth limitations.
Update: I'm now using xlzo+uelr+srep_new+lzma2 to recompress, I hope I got it right this time.
No.
uelr+srep_new+lzma2
I think you have to work with file list to avoid errors with uelr (only include tfc, upk, ... files for uelr) if I'm not mistaken. Long time not worked with uelr to be fair. To achive that you have to open up config with _DiskSpan_GUI_CONFIG.bat file and go to the file lists. Make 2 file list files somewhere (1.txt, 2.txt). In 1.txt write all files which have lzo streams inside (mainly tfc, upk, I think). You can use wildcards (for example: *.tfc, each file type in a new line). In 2.txt write just a "*" (without ").
https://i.imgur.com/BP2Ueun.png
https://i.imgur.com/Vp7Rfy2.png
Save, close, start the GUI, select game folder, start.
You can also use a freearc archive with masking data compression, but I have no compatible files on hand atm. Maybe someone else can hep you otherwise.
------------------------------------------------
There are currently only 2 installer scripts comptaible, namely "Lite Installer (https://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=103408)" and "CIU beta 7 (https://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=489404&postcount=708)". The diskspan GUI will create a "Setup.dll" file which contains all used settings to install the files.
Compression speed depends on some more things then drive speed. First of all CPU speed and input.
UltraArc make a SFX only if you check the box "Self-Extractor". Keep in mind that this way you have to done things a bit different and you have to use/edit a mask method inside Config0.ini and maybe change arc.groups file. PS: In next update UltraArc will be removed because you can do all of this things directly inside diskspan GUI (testing atm). I'm sure my friend Masquerade will tell you more on how to config mask groups and methods properly (otherwise this here will be a whole book soon and I'm not in the mood to write one).
Using xtool or any other precompressor depends on input you have. Unreal engine games which use lzo codec aren't compatible with xtool (or vise-versa) because they use some special codec (if I remember right).
If you want to avoid the split file in UltraArc, open UltraArc.ini and change
FirstVolumeSize=9999999999
CustomVolumeSize=9999999999
or something even bigger, don't matter.
If you want max compression use lolz instead of lzma2.

No.
Yep, learned i the hard way. I slept after putting this and it got error after 2hr (Part of conversion log attached).
Only if I had stayed up for 6 more minutes.
Then I also tried
uelr+srep_new+lzma2
Replaced lzma2 with lolz_mtx. I hadn't seen the screenshot so again got the same LZO error.
Now, I have followed all that you have mentioned and started again.
Used uelr+srep_new+lolz_mtx for Data1
And srep_new+lolz_mtx for Data2 with 2.txt as included and 1.txt as excluded.
Also, does it matter if I use lolz or lolz_mtx, I just used mtx so it utilized full cpu, don't know if it would make difference in conversion time since I want the best conversion. And there are other lolz conversions n, f etc do they matter? I'm using default lolz_mtx
Thanks for the detailed screenshots and all the other informatin else I'd have done some mistake for sure.

This was my inital output, is there any way, like any way in which I can just extract these without any error ;__;
bpk+cp_2077(Xtools 2020)+xzlib+srep_new+lolz_mtx
I get the error unsupported config in every installer I tried, even Light as you mentioned and not CIU either.
Are those files now useles since I can't extract them, should I delete them and accept that I wasted 21hrs and RDP money ;___;
Update: I used the config as mentioned above and got the same error again
https://prnt.sc/w8brei
I'm now using xtools and not uel(lzo) since you said it could be vice versa too. Plus fitgirl page also mentiones xtools library Also, I have reset the config to default without and file lists or so.
Currently retying with
xzlib+srep_new+lolz_mtx
If I get an error I'll replace xzlib with xlzo, since I don't know what'll work, and I had gotten success with xzlib earlier, hnce I'm trying xzlib first.

Using xzlib gives you no benefit, so there's no point to use it (UE3 does not use zlib). And then xlzo will not help either, since XTool cannot process these files IIRC (despite a .tfc file is given in example).
I'm downloading rocket league now from my Steam library, will give it a whirl then come back to you with some explanations on what to do.
Masquerade
23-12-2020, 02:16
OK so I'd like to start by apologising to you for denying the use of xtool zlib, this is the first UE3 game I've seen use zlib on tfc/upk archives:
SAMPLE - xzlib
Compressed 24 files, 1,926,995,396 => 7,144,830,307 bytes. Ratio 370.78%
Compression time: cpu 1.89 sec/real 94.48 sec = 2%. Speed 20.40 mB/s
All OK
With that established, I have tagged below a sample compressor that will allow you to make an archive compatible with the ASIS script (https://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=99481) (I recommend using compact mode)
How to use:
Download the below 7z, extract it
Put your rocket league game folder in to In folder
Run the bat
Inside the bat, type:
xprecomp+srep+lolz/$wem=srep+pmt_razor
Wait until done!
Compression method explanation:
xprecomp = xtool, configured for zlib.
srep+lolz - srep to remove duplicates and lolz for main compressor. If you want to use lzma2, swap lolz for "7z".
What does $wem mean?
This is a mask, and masks are a way of using multiple compression methods in one archive.
Each mask (and the file types included by it) is included in arc.groups.
This allows the main data to be compressed with xtool,srep,lolz then the audio gets compressed with srep,razor(pmt).
PMT is a chunk based accelerator for slow compressors like mtx, but ASIS doesn't have MTX yet, so PMT is what to use.
Because PMT is chunk based, we run srep beforehand to catch duplicates.
You can define a mask using the arc.groups file, and the grouping must begin with $groupname:
Example:
$help
*.bin
*.blob
This means you can separate off bin and blob files using the /$help identifier in your method.
If that's a bit confusing, I'm sorry!

Now, just tell me the last thing, the settings I used have yielded me to 22% without errors, so should I use what you sent me or let CIU run its course and then create the setup using asis?

I'm thinking of making another virtual machine and running what you sent me there, my current machine runs Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 4cores @2.70 Ghz with 8gb ram.
Can I cheap out on cores and use a dual core AMD Epyc 7452 dual core @2.40Ghz for that with 8gb as well. I know the task is cpu intensive hence virtual cpu's are already slowing me down significantly.
I don't expect 2 cores do the task at same time but just an hour or so more would not hurt as much and would be half the cost of 4 cores on Azure and if the time difference would be more than that then 4cores it is.

srep_new:confused::confused:
srep_new and srep_old use the same srep compressor during compression, but include different decompressors in "Setup.dll" depending on _new or _old.
Previously CIU had two selection modes to include the srep which was "SREP N" or "SREP O", then changed to "SREP NEW" or "SREP OLD" (Full names of N or O).
As DiskSpan_GUI already creates the file with the decompressors, the choice of the decompressor is made in this way.
PS: srep_old has only 32-bit decompressors, but srep_new is the beta version of CLS srep (It is not a final version).
I don't know why we still use the old version, but I think that in some cases the new version may not be a good choice.

I'd just let it run the course now.
For making me understand the basics and recommend me the best config for the best compression 48.7%
I still don't know how to make another installer work with my config, I'm just using Diskpan GUI from CIU V3 B7.U4 (https://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=102510) and the default Shadow of Tomb Raider Installer as included in the package.
I tried Light Installer, ASIS Installer (https://fileforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=27787&d=1598635509) and CorePack installer but they gave the error of not recognizing the archive format, and ASIS not even an error, just installed the default Command & Conquer™ Remastered Collection and gave me a desktop shortcut.
Any mods @JustFun or whoever, if you find this worth it, please do add this the Index for future reference for anyone else.

Actually you can compress losslessly mp4 file(s).
I know those files are already heavily compressed,but In my experiences RAZOR sometimes can compress it. Not a good ratio but better than LOLZ.
Do not use multithread.

Took a little look, here's my conclusion to what is what:
(these sizes come from my game which is v3.10.0)
chunk0.rpkg - chunk7.rpkg = Hitman 3 Content = 25.2GB
chunk8.rpkg = Unknown = 2.08GB (this file is simply adressed as Legacy)
chunk9.rpkg - chunk20.rpkg = Hitman 2 Content = 14.7GB
chunk21.rpkg - chunk27.rpkg = Hitman 1 Content = 12.7GB
Ofc srep+lolz isn't going to get you far here, huge waste of time. Compare these sizes to previous Hitman games and it's obvious the data is compressed. I was putting my bets on use of oodle, but it's clearly not!! :p:p
Oh and when an unpacking script finally comes available, the VR stuff is contained in the game files, so it can be ripped...

I reckon from 1PM yesterday to 8AM this morning (very very rough estimate). Having to run xtool without stdio really slowed things down.
However, the file VEHICLEUPGRADES.bff is corrupt after being decompressed with bdt, meaning all the time was wasted so I deleted my post.
Oh that's bad. RIP brother :D
I think xtool still needs fine-tuning for oodle codec.
LOL, yeah, I hate it too, when decompression fails after long compression time :D
Though, even worse, once I compressed the game, made installer and everything, and somehow forgot to test installation lol, and I happily burned it to disc˙s.
Some time after, I decided to install that game and play it, and boy was I dissapointed when I got decompression error at 72% :D

I did some more tests today on "The Medium". My goal was to find the most efficient algorithm for test file which contains Zlib streams. The winner is XT xZlib (old xtool) - managed to inflate file from 968MB to 1250MB and with srep and lzma compression, final size went down to 283MB. That meets my expectation.
Now is the part where I don't understand things. If file contains Zlib streams (I did check in "Drop and Scan for Zlib" app so I'm sure of that) I was betting on XT2020 Zlib/reflate/preflate that one of them will be the most efficient pre-compressor and they didn't work at all! I thought that new version of xtool 2020 will be better than old one? What I don't understand here is why XT xZlib worked and XT2020 Zlib didn't? Are they not the same algorithms to deal with deflated streams?
Would highly appreciate if someone could explain this to me.

Maybe it's because old XTool includes reflate automatically if the reflate libraries (raw2hif_dll.dll and hif2raw_dll.dll) are next to xtool.exe
If they were with XTool, try removing raw2hif_dll.dll and hif2raw_dll.dll from the old Xtool, or use XTool 2020 with "zlib+reflate" methods to get an equivalent comparison.
If I reported wrong, please correct me.
Edit:
I did some tests:

The results were practically the same.

this is correct but if you look at the time xtool took, one would assume that the either the codec didn't initialize due to missing libraries, failure to load libraries or incorrect command line used. I mean to process 968 MB worth of data taking only 3 secs seems like that's what happened.
Would highly appreciate if someone could explain this to me.
the arc.ini/command line you used for xtool would be helpful, that includes the libraries you placed near xtool 2020

And that's exactly what happened. I was using old version of DS GUI with XTools 0.37 and despite problem with loading xtool, GUI was saying everything's fine.
Now with DS GUI 1.0.0.1 and XTool 0.38 everything works as it should.

Beyond A Steel Sky uses ZSTD compression on the pak, but neither zstdrec nor xtool can inflate it.
Xtool:zlib will only inflate +0.44% over original size.
Any clues?
Did you use the correct zstdlib version?

Did you use the correct zstdlib version?
Good idea! Added new libzstd and it came to 109%. Good fun.
Use a version near game release date (month / week) if possible and go downwards in libzstd versions until you reach a peak in precompression. I don't know if there is a proper way to detect what zstandard version the game was packed. But that's basically what I do (same with lz4).

You have to find out for yourself what the effective precompressor will be. For example, I check from now on like this ^^

It is the definition of the size of the slices of the diskspan of 4.25GB for the first disc and 4.32GB for the other discs (Configuration for DVD5 media).
P.S: If you use DiskSpan_GUI this is done automatically (value in bytes) based on the options on the CONFIG page of DiskSpan_GUI and selected tab of media type when making the compression.
Then the method adapted for DiskSpan_GUI can be used in this way:
xtool_cp2077+srep_new:m3f:l512:m512+4x4:lzma:a1:mf bt4:32m:fb273:mc10000:lc8
P.S: The chunk size on DiskSpan_GUI is set to "-c32mb", but if you want, just edit the "DiskSpan_x64.ini" file in the "Resources" folder on DiskSpan_GUI and change to "-c128mb" in section to "xtool_cp2077" method so that the method is exactly the same as the method informed by the user (I don't know if you will a lot of difference thid change)

Make sure that the version of your game matches with the one in the INDEX.
Parameters doesn't need to be high all the time, makes decompression slower. They should be the same as the one mentioned in the INDEX.

Now, I did run last night , xtool+srep+lolz but the archive was broken so I am going again.
EDIT 2: After looking at srep command line, I'd need to use -s param to set the input size for stdin to something like 50GB in ordedr to not get this error, am surprised I didn't know this earlier.
If I remember right srep has still bugs with stdin, so always use $$InFile$$ $$OutFile$$ with srep to be safe.

Thanks KaktoR and dixen
You can even rip out unused languages from videos files with ffmpeg (https://www.ffmpeg.org/). Unfortunatelly the audio streams are not named, therefore you have to figure out what audio stream is what language they speak.
Usage:
ffmpeg -i "C_GameEnd.mp4" -map 0:0 -map 0:X -acodec copy -vcodec copy "Processed\C_GameEnd.mp4"
-map 0:X
I don't know what number is for which language. Use MPC and change audio track to listen.
X = Audio stream ID
-map 0:0 is the main audio track (non-voice) I guess.
First -map 0:0 tells ffmpreg to not touch non-voice track (main audio like sounds and stuff)
Second -map 0:X tells ffmpeg to not touch selected voice audio track (X).
In the above example ffmpeg removes all audio tracks with the exception of 0 (main audio track) and X.
"-acodec copy" tells ffmpeg to copy audio source (it doesn't change stuff like bitrate, etc.). Just a 1-to-1 copy without changing anything.
"-vcodec copy" is the same for video source.
If you want to leave 2 voice languages, add a third -map option:
ffmpeg -i "C_GameEnd.mp4" -map 0:0 -map 0:X -map 0:Y -acodec copy -vcodec copy "Processed\C_GameEnd.mp4"

Notes: This game does use bink video. I unpacked the bundle files but could not see any videos, not even a videos folder. I didn't take a deep look however.
If you can find the videos, you may be able to patch them out of the bundles then use bpk to lower the size.

I think you forget to add about 990 MB worth of .movie files (from The End achievement) and 2.9GB of soundtrack (flac and mp3), so the final size should be around 73GB.
Edit: I own the game and it is 73GB, so I just think that 69GB is just the bundle files with the dlls and exe :P

While decompressing, i ran into an error saying :

For this one i used WPI by Razor12911 - added some external compressors and most of the time decompression goes smooth.

Was there ever an LZMA precompressor? I was reading some ancient threads in my search. At the time, it was said to be a difficult task and to avoid large xdeltas the right params had to be used in recompression. Read a bit on Encode through the wayback machine, but nothing really related to what I was looking for.
Reason I am asking, Crash Bandicoot N Sane Trilogy uses LZMA compression on the archives:
https://i.ibb.co/1sLgDsJ/Capture.png
There's an Extract tool for this game which removes the compression from the pak, and saves it as an decompressed pak file, only thing is no way to re-compress said pak.
https://github.com/AdventureT/Nst-Extractor/tree/master/NST_Extractor/SevenZip/sdk
Update: https://github.com/pashok6798/Crash-Bandicoot-NSAMETRILOGY-Tool/tree/master/CBNSTT
I found another tool with compression abilities, however it is a GUI with no command line unfortunately. Its says it can compress but it doesn't appear to do.

Hello!
My questions: How to repackaging very old MSTS game with highly compression ratio?
Its probably make likely, two different variants for:
1. Very old PCs (1-2 Core CPUs) users with XP x86 SP2/3 compatibility installers and compressions. (Like FreeArc+SREP+PreComp 0.38 and any more)
2. And newest modern PCs (Core-i3 and higher era) and OS (Vista to Win10) with x86/x64 compatiblity and better maximum compression (FreeArc+SREP+PreComp+RZ+MSC and much more) than older variants.
This very old my repack use classic CMD based installation methods. This game size 7.6GB size reduced to 2.2GB and v2 unfinished version, lower than 2GB file size. (Added more fan made maps.)
Any good idea from best compression?
UPDATE: Testing game compression, use Tiny Compressor v1.4
Used methods: 2 (method 3, this oldschool testing now)
Results:
Source: 19 027 732 495 byte (159 379 files)
Compression time (CPU): ~17700 sec
Compressed size: 4 166 060 315 byte
17.72GB -> 3.88GB
UPDATE2: Method 3 compression failed to 40+ hour long time its my noob errors. Not enough free space from finishing. Pff.
Tested with Method 1:
Compression time (CPU): ~7383 sec
Compressed size: 6 699 140 554 byte (6.24GB)
Any idea how to make setup with stdio (reduced disk i/o) methods from decompression?

I'm planning to make may own repack of this game version and have few questions.
Obviously game is encrypted so it won't compress well until being decrypted first. If I decrypt the game first I understand I will get decrypted and unpacked game files – does the game work properly with unpacked files? Is there anyway to compress game with decryption on the fly?

Sorry for being pain in the ass but I'm afraid I don't understand what do you mean by that. Could you explain it more? How can I take encryption off those files?
I'm using 'ttarchext.exe' tool for unpacking from zenhax forum (it has built-in encryption keys). Do I have to unpack each .ttarch2 files and then rebuilt them to take that encryption off or what?

Different games have different encryption. You have to test the game and see for yourself which methods suits the best for it. While lolz is powerful its slow decompression speed is one of its drawbacks. And also use a precompressor before compressing a game such as XTool, ZTool (Old, but just in case), oo2reck.... etc
And don't forget to checkout the Specific Games Method INDEX.
Noob questions from compression via LOLZ: Compression rate better than TTA (FreeArc) methods use LOLZ compressing *.WAV files??
Or use double compression from WAV files?
My favorized methods (from MSTS or any older(?) games): The *.WAV files compressed to --> Archive.arc (with TTA comp.) this archive compressed again to --> Archive2.arc (with REP) method. Fast and good ratio. Second compression process replacing REP to RAZOR or MSC or/and any ones?
Some testing its best rate. Size reduction lower than 35-40% via original size.
Example: Compressed 5001 WAV files. Size: 2.09GB --> 923MB--> 632MB
Please testing and find better methods.
KaktoR: Yes! Not use MSC. Simple FreeArc compression schemes.
Partially tested "Archive.arc" file compressing, use MSC with FROG=9 parameters. (Size: 945602kB)
UPD: Test finished. Results, not good. Small reduction. Results: 906MB (928156kB)
Get the arc file use private testing?? Please via send pm.
Any info: SREP compressed: 632MB, REP compressed: 633MB. small differences.
