You need xtool v0.12 + lz4 codec

69.546.338.253 > 69,550,517,626

i think it's not. there is almost no lz4 stream.

and final size still high.

upd.

maybe something wrong with my arc.ini, i left packcmd as xtool.exe e : precomp : t4 : zlib, now changed it to e : precomp : t4 : {option} and trying with this method again.

Hello everyone,
What compression method do you recommend for the Railway Empire game?
The movie directory (2.58Gb) *.bk2 files
Language files (8,48Gb) *.fuk files
Thanks in advance,
cdt

bpk for videos
zlib for fuk files

Bioshock Collection

These games already have conversions posted however I'd just like to add my attempt (strongly based on the existing conversions) but with complete info (original / final sizes etc..)

All based on latest versions.

Bioshock Remastered:

Total Unpacked Size: 21GB

Compression as follows:

*.bik

Code:

bpk
Everything Else:

Code:

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

Total packed size using above method: 9.45GB

Bioshock 2 Remastered:

Total Unpacked Size: 19.8GB

Compression as follows:

*.bik

Code:

bpk
Everything Else:

Code:

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

Total packed size using above method: 9.48GB

Bioshock Infinite (All Languages) + Wallpapers

Total Unpacked Size: 43.2GB

Compression as follows:

*.bik - Important Note, read below!

Code:

bpk
*.xxx

Code:

uelr+xtool:e:precomp:t100p,c128m:zlib+srep:m3f:l512+lolz:dt:dtb1:dtw1:dtm1:dto1:dtd1:mtt1:mt4:d64m:fba4096
*.tfc

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

Important Note:: MesmerizeMaster_NoAudio.bik will throw errors when being compressed with bpk, so just put this file in with srep+lolz. I use the cls plugin for compression, so it's possible you can get past this if you have a different method.

Total packed size using above method: 21.9GB

Thanks to dixen and Webster17 for the original conversions!

ah okay, not recm, it's reck

Company Of Heroes

I was wondering if anyone has any good methods for this game?

I have everything sorted except from the .sga files.

I'm using this method for them:

Code:

xzlib64+msc:wav=1:raw=1:mp3=1:tak=9+srep+lolz

However during decompression MSC keeps crashing (instantly killing the installer). I know it's an issue with MSC because the temp files are left in the installer temp directory.

I am currently trying running msc before xtool but it's produced a larger result than xtool+msc.

@KaktoR: is there any other tool to recompress embedded audio files??? :-o
