Advanced options like?

I don't want to compress a whole game inclusive audio+video with (pzlib)+srep+lzma.

In UltraARC, i always seperate those files.

I move out audio+video files from game folder and put them into a new folder with same file/folder structure.

First pass: (pzlib)+srep+lzma
Second pass: no compression (eg for videos) for new folder.

Rename data bins from second pass, adding them to first pass records.ini.

It's awkward, but compression time decrases drasticaly(depending on the game ofc).

Edit:
Something like this

Hi Razor12911
Please Add Masked Compression

Well the funny thing about this is, Converter Ultra already has this feature :p

Can't wait to test it out.

Thanks for your efforts bro.

Free from exams...:D
Thanks razor...so much programs u created since my last visit. Can't wait to test this version :) Really great work.

I don't think you're free from exams because your signature still reads "¬ BUSY In EXAMS ¬"

How to change that there is option to edit in front of location but no edit option for signature :confused:

Razor! the error comes with only this type of method-
Pzlib+msc+srep+lzma not for lzma2 and 4x4 lzma and PZB v.0.42. I gain 37% ratio on a single ".forge" file of 238mb but during extraction same problem occur which is felice program cmdbench occur. There is not any bug on programs in both two but has in pzlib + lzma2 which is putted in ultraarc & cmdbench.
I also tried with PZB v.0.38
But failed during extraction :(

By using only pzlib + lzma or 4x4 lzma , no problem.
I also tried with Pzlib+msc+srep+lzma2 and PZB v.0.38
But failed during extraction :(

pzb 0.42, 0.38! Is this pzlib or precomp?

Not confirm ! probably razor put this for precomp version :rolleyes:

Sorry my bad ! Check the edited message of error again.

Ok ! I check the error comes on some ".forge" files not
all .forge files so i check with both ultraarc and cmdbench. I think error comes on some files which have many media files on which msc works but w/o using pzlib , no error come. Acc. to my test pzlib + lzma works on mostly files :) Bcoz i test this method on 4 games which are: mad max, gta5, dirt3, project cars
BTW what's the PZB version stands for in ultraarc ?

0.38 = m1 (reflate streams)
0.42 = m2 (zlib streams)

I guess. Don't know what Simorq did exactly :D

SAM2712, Do NOT post multiple in a row, simply edit first post & add additional info.

No
Use pZLib 2017
0.38 = (zlib streams)
0.42 = (reflate streams)

@SAM2712
ACU Not reflate and zlib

How to use mask in "config0"> "my method" text file ?

UltraARC no mask support

Why the ram usage is so high means 100% by ultraarc.. Using only msc+srep+lzma on ACU sounddata folder. My config. fx8350 8core, 8gb ram 2100mhz, WD 2TB black edition :(
PC is in hang position so i capture with mobile :(
Reply solution anyone.

Did you see the process sucking your cpu? Maybe your pc got some virus

No it's not by the virus. Installed Avast premier already. And i disabled before launching ultraarc. Any more suggestions :(

Seems to be on your end.

For me all is Ok ^^

Also for me, there is no problem. But, however if your game is just too big(Ex: GTA V), compressors will take a lot of ram.

The problem not remain on most files but happen when i tried on ACU game > sounddata folder and on files like dlls, exe, text file etc. Is there any editing which i can do in arc.ini file like mmt or compression ram usage ?

Added NEW CIU2039 2017-07-07, which includes UltraARC 2800 R2

Thanks goes out to all who worked hard on this final version.
See Post #1 for new archive.

Everything is right but can you restore the original UA 2410 and 3040 please?

added back to first post.

Here if someone wants even older versions :D

(p.s. IF Razor or moderators find any of these unnecessary pls delete them)

Thanks for posting them, but I have a back-up of them already, just incase anyone ever asks for them :D

MSC: BMP/DDS/MP3/RAW/WAV Lossless Compressor

Yes, but not for all. I have MP3 files and no change in size after compression. Same for some dds files with some "special content". Header or i don't know exactly.

According to my benchmarks, it's better to use ONLY MSC on media files. using srep/lzma after msc actually increases compressed size.

Will test it out during the day. Now over 14.000 dds files (9,46GB in size) in work with msc+srep+lzma

Code:

<--------------------------- D D S ---------------------------->

Total founded DDS: 14535

DDS with unknown type (not RGB and not FOURCC): 249

DDS with unknown FOURCC: 0

DDS with unsupported type (DXT2,DXT4,Volume): 17

DDS DXT,RAW filtered by size: 0



processed DXT DDS: 12907 - 0(lzma reject) = 12907 (187'175'840 b)

          DXT1: 6182    DXT3: 21      DXT5: 102     ATI2: 0

processed RAW DDS: 1362 (2'096'452'393 bytes)

Will try after that with only msc and see what happens.

Edit: Guess UltraArc error. Final size 82,6MB. Will try with batch again.

Edit 2:

UltraArc error. Doesn't like so much files with msc.

Batch file runs since over 20 minutes now (still msc detection).

Batch:
Input: 14.536 Files, 9,46GB, only *.dds files
msc+srep+lzma -> 1,43GB
srep+lzma -> 3,64GB
msc -> 3,85GB

Again CRC check failed (-12).

Maybe because of that amount of files in one archiv (~15.000).

Will try UA with lower treshold (10-15).

Edit:
UltraArc doesn't finish bins properly (most of the files are not included in archive) but with no error message... treshold 15. Will try now with 5 or even 1 lol.

As you can see, there is a folder called "BSHeartland.esm". It's a folder, not a file. UA/FA thinks this is a file and don't take any files that are in this folder. UA only takes the last 4 files. Copying to temp folder is ok, MSC goes through all those files, but then, srep+lzma only compresses this 4 files.

Treshold was "1", because all other doesn't work (Failed to create Data#.bin).

_Compression.log says all is ok, but nothing is ok ^^

Still same error, but other file.
