that's because of there's no compression method called "fazip".

I didn't know that, is there a reason why? I couldn't find any actual info regarding what can be used with what, because being vague is so cool on this site.

Okay, if I can't use srep+lolz with fazip, then i can sure as hell use bink_pack because it worked. How would I go with adding bink_pack to ASIS? I am at an actual loss here, does ANY installer on this site actually support bink_pack at all? Everything I have checked uses CLS, and TC is the only compressor on here that uses bink_pack, so there HAS to be a way I can use it.


Is this a list of what I can use, or are you just saying to use all 4 of these?

As I said, use fazip only if you compress with cls (f.e. cls-bpk.dll).

I think all installers use cls-bpk.dll for unpacking, because it's better.

And I don't know why ASIS give you an error on unpacking, sorry :(

are you still expecting srep+lolz+bpk, so here is an easy example of that.

BPK example.rar

this is just an example, remember to make changes with your compressor and the ASIS.

Don't use srep+lolz+bpk

Always universal tools last!

bpk+srep+lolz

Finally - don't use bink_pack.exe to compress, you use the cls dll. The exe is buggy, breaks files, causes errors - not fun! This fazip matter is my fault since I suggested KaktoR to add it to the installer.

@KaktoR
You can remove the fazip bpk config (maybe even remove fazip.exe since I don't recall it having any important usage). Instead rename cls-bpk_u.dll to cls-bpk.dll then unarc will just work the cls as normally, not needing fazip to handle it. My apologies! When I first suggested the method, I didn't know very much, especially how cls dlls worked.

@ps5haznogames
Download latest bpk, rename the dll for packing to cls-bpk and put it into your compressor. Method name is bpk, since its a cls. It must be then next to arc.exe to work.

Make a file called arc.groups, inside write:

Then use this method:

srep+lolz/$bpk=bpk

This will compress all of the bink video using bpk and the rest with srep, lolz.

If I remember anything else you will find remotely useful I'll add it.

Download the latest BPK? Where is that? Do you mean the latest "cls-bpk.dll" that someone else linked here? Would I add it to my arc.ini like this or continue with the FAzip edit?

[External compressor:bpk]
header = 0
packcmd = "Resources\cls-bpk" $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

See attatched file.

You don't need fazip, or arc.ini to use cls dlls.

Put cls-bpk.dll in the above archive into your compressor. The method name is the string that follows cls- prefix, so, the method is bpk

srep+lolz/$bpk=bpk

($bpk is just the name of our group, I see KaktoR on the last page used $binkpack)


For unpacking, open arc.ini in asis, remove the bpk fazip config.

Take cls-bpk_u from the above archive, and put it into your bpk folder in asis. Rename it to cls-bpk.dll.

Now, make sure you use the ini file to ensure that the dll file will be built with the setup, now install your archive.

I don't know, but in latest version fazip is not present anymore (nor any arc.ini settings). It seems that in the meantime I reverted it back to cls, but I don't know :D
