No, at least not for razor.

MPZ is minimal -> https://fileforums.com/showpost.php?...5&postcount=56

@KaktoR :

Not exactly....
With a really large dataset (maybe Quantum Break? I dont remember) ,the difference was soooo big :
PMT + RZ d128m / RZ d1023m.... 10 gigs or somethink like that...
So i stick with single thread !

@KaktoR :

What i wrote before : XCom2 - WOTC ,*.upk+*.tfc. Preprocessed and repacked using RZ.

RZ 1023m single thread : 95.4 GB/12.7 GB
RZ PMT 4 threads/128m : 95.4 GB/26.5 GB

IMHO its because dedup/chunking.

KaktoR 18-04-2020 03:37

Thanks.

How long took it to compress without PMT?

shazzla 18-04-2020 04:47

Compression speed depends on the data of course. I dont know. Maybe 1.5 day on an I5-6600.

you mean precompressor :confused:
Compression speed depends of course on algorithm (lzma2-zstd...) and hardware (cpu threads-ram speed-ssd)

shazzla 19-04-2020 03:00

No. I mean compression speed. In my experiences LOLZ pack many same bytes much faster than different bytes.

Good morning all,
For the drug dealer simulator game, what compression method can you advise me, please?
Thank you in advance,
cordially

It's built in unreal engine, so for the Pak file use xtool with zlib codec+srep+lolz then for everything else use srep+lolz.

So:

*.pak =

Code:

xtool:e:precomp:zlib+srep:m3f:l512+lolz:dt:dtb1:dtw1:dtm1:dto1:dtd1:mtt1:mt4:d64m:fba4096
Everything else:

Code:

srep:m3f:l512+lolz:dt:dtb1:dtw1:dtm1:dto1:dtd1:mtt1:mt4:d64m:fba4096
Enjoy the conversion!
