Anyone knows what compression method SkyrimSE bsa archives use?

ztool zlilib + srep + lolz

I'm talking about texture files. They are compressed somehow (and it's not zlib, 100%). I must unpack them to compress them properly, no problem, but I must compress them back afterwards with compressor they use to original state or at least near original to patch them.

B.A.E. - Bethesda Archive Extractor v0.10. from nexus and then use the razor12911 injector so that Fg can make the best compression in the world sory my bad english

I know about BAE, the injector from razor12911 is too slow (200mb = 2 hours is not good).

what I wrote before is only theory because I have little time to practice. but BAE in my opinion is the only one that decompresses the files. bsa just find a better injector. search the web. good luck

yes it is same for me but decompression time of uelr+srep:m5f:a2+lzma 3 HOURS. how did you do this faster?

or can you write xtool.ini content. How should i do?

hello,
what are your suggestions for better compression for the game Injustice 2 but it would be great that the installation is not long ex: 3 hours
Thank you

Hello, With this method, how long does the installation?

How Decompressing oodle-streams on *.TFC in XCOM 2?

For example https://yadi.sk/d/7l5S8_kb3acQxP

Is this using o4 or o5? ZTool/Xtool only supports o4, i don't know if there is any tool for o5 out there (and even if there is one, it is private 100%).

Nothing ripped.
You can rip other languages you don't want.

Use zlib scanner with file output to know what files contain streams. It's too much to write them here.

bpk for *.bk2 files
Don't use bpk for *.bik files because of compress error!

All other files srep+lzma

69.2GB => 27.8GB

Have you removed audio tracks from video files?

Example:
Leave only english audio track in video.

XVID4PSP v7 for batch cutting audio tracks without conversion...For example
https://a.radikal.ru/a31/1808/6d/32e1d8b13acc.png

*.scx - 12.2 gb => 9.4 gb

Why not just use ffmpeg? It's basically the same and you didn't need to install anything. Finished in around 5 minutes for all videos (removed 5 audio tracks, only leave english audio).

9.4GB, no quality loss in video/audio.

However, result for complete game is 34.4GB (oodle+srep+lzma for *.xxx + *.tfc files, m0 for processed video files and the rest just srep+lzma). You will get better size with lolz but this will basically took forever and I have not the time to do it nor I am in the mood to do it.

Sorry, I'll write in Russian because a lot of things I want to answer

Ну хотя бы потому что bat-файл для ffmpeg слишком долго создавать..

Качество не теряется, потому что, как я писал, перекодирования видеопотока нет. На всю процедуру ушло минут 15.. А на написание батника ушел бы примерно час..И какая выгода от него?)

А как насчет времени распаковки? Без poodle игра жмется до 37 гб с помощью lzma2 и ставится за 10 минут...Так что не вижу смысла терзаться из-за 2,5 гб

It took about 10 minutes to create it :) If you are familar with batch and know much, you could create it in less time.

The benefit is you don't need to install anything, but if you use it just for personal use it would be Ok (I post conversions sometimes, not repacks, so i can't force anyone to install software just for this kind of work). If you sharing repacks your way is the best way, because users only need to unpack, nothing else.

Yes it's possible that oodle has horrible unpacking time. I didn't test "standard" compression yet, but I will try it and share comparrison later.

Edit: 34.4GB < 38.4GB with lzma2. So the difference is more than 2,5GB, it's 4GB more without oodle

*.bk2 => bpk
*.* => srep:m3f+lolz:dtb1:d128m:mc1023

Can anyone have another method to get better ratio

i used only uelr before srep and lzma i never used xtool my lzma is fazip i used nothing special on the game besides bpk for bik files

[External compressor:uelr]
header = 0
packcmd = uelr.exe uv $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

that was the pack command

You got better ratio because you used lolz instead of lzma.

NOTE. Decompressing *.tiger files needed ~50 gb free space

methods on both games
removed non english content
used format factory to converted wmv to mkv under low settings and bitrate
compression seperate
srep+lolz

Mega Man X Legacy Collection
initial size 6.82 gb
repack size 1.08 gb

Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2
initial size 9.30 gb
repack size 2.10 gb

both games combined
initial size 16.1 gb
repack size 3.18 gb

after installing you can use format factory to convert mkv back to wmv under its original size and quality it should go pretty fast due to the multithreading then you can delete the mkv after finished

Hi, im compressing these days all of my AC Games and this one is not on the list so i want to share it with you.

First off, this game doesnt work with binkpack on the bk2 files (there are also bik files that are working) so here you have two options, not compressing them or use my same method.

1. Convert all bk2 files to bik with Rad Tools, on the compression tab change only the compression level % to 80, let all other settings by default. This will give you a similar output size. After that delete all bk2 files and rename the created bik files to bk2 (change their extension). Be careful to not modify the original bik files, there is no need to touch them.

2. Now you can use the following MASK method to compress the game without problem:

MASK:srep:m3f+LL2/$binkpack=BPK/$anvilpack=afr+srep:m3f+LL2

Srep is v3.9.2, LL2 is equal to: lolz:mmt1:d64:mc1023 and the afr version is 0.1.9 by edison007

Original Size: 17.1GB (One lang)
Repacked Size: 4.7GB (One lang)

Compression time: 2 Hours & Decompression/Installation time: 5-6 minutes on 4 Cores/3.9GHz + 8GB Ram + SSD and 8 minutes on Dual Core 3.2GHz + 8GB Ram + HDD

CRC tested after installation and its working fine.If you dont touch the video files the total size will be around 5GB.If you want to add all languages it will be around 6GB (not tested myself)

Edit: And sorry for my bad english, if there is something wrong feel free to correct me.
