Anyone knows how long it takes for oodlrec to parse cyberpunk?

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

Update: takes scooter ~4 hrs to get to 4.2%

Cyberpunk 2077 (Based on Codex) English Only

Original Size : 59GB (Excluding 3 GB Bonus Content)
Repack Size : 39.5 GB

Method : oo2reck+srep+xz (LOLZ much better but very slow)

Use oodle7 file from \bin\x64\

Compression time : 18hours
Decompression time : 2hr50m on 4core 8gb ram HDD

English Only

Original Size : 59.6GB
Repack Size : 40.1 GB >>>>> 59.6GB> 125GB > 84.5GB > 40.1GB

Method : xtool+srep:m3f:l512:m512+4x4:lzma:a1:mfbt4:32m:fb2 73:mc10000:lc8+diskspan:4.25GB:4.32GB

Use oodle7 file from \bin\x64\

Compression Time : 4Hours
Decompression Time : 70Min on 6Core 16GB Ram |RZ1600

Arc:

Code:

[External compressor:xtool]

header    = 0

packcmd   = XTool.exe precomp -mcp2077 -c128mb -t100p --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>

unpackcmd = XTool.exe decode -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

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.

Code:

0000000000000017.kb2



Compressed 1 file, 60,033,840 => 50,479,677 bytes. Ratio 84.09%

Compression time: cpu 0.02 sec/real 4.31 sec = 0%. Speed 13.93 mB/s

All OK



Extracted 1 file, 50,479,677 => 60,033,840 bytes. Ratio 84.09%

Extraction time: cpu 0.05 sec/real 4.75 sec = 1%. Speed 12.64 mB/s

All OK

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).

I'm corious: Did you test it with the exe file from binkpack?

I haven't used bink_pack.exe since many months ago since it would always fail to pack the files properly. I could try again now.

What is the best compression method for Rocket League (Epic Games official Version)
Also, if anyone could link me to a tutorial which teaches how to compressit, that'd be a help.
U have UltraArc, just don't know how that works and what options to select.

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.
