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

i used uelr+srep+lzma2
but you gotta seperate the unreal engine files from the other files or it will corrupt
bpk for videos and srep +lzma for the remaining files
wich left me with 3 data files

below is a list i posted long ago regarding arkham games series

https://fileforums.com/showpost.php?...&postcount=265

Was able to get it down to 3.85gb using another method (just takes about an hour to install unfortunately), turns out I wasn't specifying uelr to unpack/decode the archives with LZO streams

Yeah working on messing around with CLS.ini to try and get ASIS to utilise more system resources

Has anyone tried repacking the "Five Nights at Freddys" games? All games (bar the VR title) are packed into individual .exe's, I heard using the "Delta" compressor is good for binary stuff but with combinations of it, srep & lolz I'm only getting at best a 2% reduction in the final size.

What do you mean?

If you precompress into an archive, then compress the archive, your result will be near identical but then if you want to install it will be rough and take a long time since the installer has to go through 2x archive extractions.

Also, always use srep after precompression before main compressor (lzma, lolz).

I managed a script for the 2x decompressing but still there isn't a perfect method for this FIFA 20.

Another question : Is it normal that lolz would give good ratio at the start but as the compression proceeds the ratio is again somewhere near 90%?

Here is the script if a newbie like me wants it.

Delete.bat

Code:

del /q data.arc

del /q data1.arc

del /q data2.arc

Put it in your script at the end like this.

Code:

[Run]

Filename: "{app}\Delete.bat"; Parameters: "/x"

Pack your .bat into an archive and have the installer decompress it as the last archive.

Hi all,

Could someone please show me what their header for "xprecomp" looks like in their arc.ini? I'm interested in repacking "Mad Max" (2015) and according to the "best compression index" xprecomp yields the best results, however I've never used xprecomp before and can't seem to find it as an argument when viewing the help section of xtool.exe in the windows command line. Thank you for any help anyone can offer.

Mad Max needs xtool zlib precompressor.

Ah cheers, I'll see how xzlib + srep + lolz works out
