FileForums - Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

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...

Because of possibilities that LOLZ is used for textures.

It would be nice to see how long the process is.

I think because it is lolz, it took about 24 hours? :D

@KaktoR

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

Going through picking up what clearly isn't going to work with bdt and go from there. The Shanghai file is also cannot be re-encrypted

LOL, yeah, it is my favorite way of Backing Up files, games and pretty much everything I would need sometime.

Even though these days I can download games faster then I could install them lol, but still I like to backup on Disc`s, offline backup is the best backup :p.
