alot less temp files i found that with game like mad max/ gta v using m2f better...

What happened to Syndicate was crazy, the compression times were fast as hell compared to unity but installation times were not good. Even on Odyssey or Origins 1.51 they are a bit slow. Cores are also important, all this times and tests are on a 4 cores pc, i tested Final Fantasy XV on my other pc, it has 8 cores and install times were faster. (on my notebook with 2 cores over 3 hours xD). But i will take a look into this, 200mb for half time installation is worth, compressions times didnt matter to me, i leave it on over day/night and use my other pc but installations times are what im searching for (without loosing much ratio).

Thanks again !!!

Can you please clarify which one of these is wrong, and for what method I am confused, so I can update Index with right information. THX!

If i have understand it right, what @Simorq means is that the second method posted by @darkwolves is wrong (the method with lolz and who has a size of 3.58gb). The last code was Simorqs test to show that he got it much higher in size using even higher lolz settings.

But better Simorq clarifies this, my english is not good at all and sometimes i can understand things in wrong way.

Edit: @JustFun i send you a private message about one of my games with the link , i think you have missed that post.

Resident Evil 0: HD Remaster & Resident Evil: HD Remaster

Here are the first two Resident Evil games that are not on the list, they are full without anything ripped. Read notes if you wish to get them lower in sizes.

Code:

Title:           Resident Evil 0: HD Remaster

Version:         v1.0 (includes all costume packs dlcs)



PC:              4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 8GB Ram + SSD



Ripped Files:    Nothing (Read Note to get it up to 1.03GB lower)



Original Size:   11.6 GB

Compressed Size: 5.64 GB



Method:          xZLib+srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 (Xtool 0.9)

                

Compress Time:   3 hours 27 minutes (12464.60 sec)

Install Time:    6 minutes



CRC Checked:     Yes



Note:

The movies on this game comes duplicated in 720p and 1080p, if you want

to make the total size smaller you have a lot of options here.

1. You can only use the 720p movies located in /nativePC/movie folder

2. Or you can use only the 1080p movies located in /nativePC/movie/pc

3. If you are unsure if you want to play in 1080p or 720p but want to use

only the 720p videos you can just copy and replace the 1080p with the 720p.



This is also great for creating separated bin files with only movies and

installing them as components. Just make a backup and play around.

Code:

Title:           Resident Evil: HD Remaster

Version:         v1.0



PC:              4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 8GB Ram + SSD



Ripped Files:    Nothing (Read Note to get it up to 5.32GB lower)



Original Size:   17.6 GB

Compressed Size: 9.89 GB



Method:          xZLib+srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 (Xtool 0.9)

                

Compress Time:   5 hours 34 minutes (20087.09 sec)

Install Time:    9 minutes



CRC Checked:     Yes



Note:

Movies on this game are duplicated too as in Resident Evil 0, but on this game

they come in 3 different variations. Read the notes on Resident Evil 0 above

to get a better idea.



/nativePC/movie/00 contains 1080p movies with 20k bitrate (3.73 GB)

/nativePC/movie/01 contains 1080p movies with  8k bitrate (1.59 GB)

/nativePC/movie/02 contains 720p movies with 6k bitrate (785 MB)



As in Resident Evil 0 you have many choices here. The best option i think

is to keep only the 720p videos and copy them to the 00 and 01 folder

so you would not have problems playing at any resolution and safe a lot

of space.

Resident Evil 2&3 coming in a few days, my original Res2 & Res3 games are German versions (bought them 20 years ago when i lived there). The main reason why i dont want to use those versions is because in Germany they are censored, that means without some cutscenes, green blood and much more things due to the German censorship. So i will get first the good versions of those games, this will take me some time. Thinking about that, what makes green blood less in violence than red blood? :D

I don´t know what happened in the past but i dont think that Simorq told that with bad intentions. Sometimes we get things wrong due to our basic english knowledge, we can even offend without intention (at least in my case).What im not finding nice is the removing of the posts giving JustFun now a lot of work to clean up the index.

have repacked the full version of the game game different ratio on it now can you please change it to the new info...

^if people didnt 'criticise' your work then you would not have learnt new methods and learnt simpler better ways of doing things.
Dont take things to heart, people are not here to disrespect your work, they are here to learn, as you yourself said 'we are all here for the same reason'. ;)

'JustFun' has put a lot of time and effort into the Index and I'm sure he is very proud of his work and would be disappointed to now see some of it has been a waste of time, just like everyone who puts a lot of time and effort into creating the 'Best Compression Methods' ;)

Please rethink the deletion of your posts and think about allowing me to 'restore' them all, I can do that quite easily. ;)

:confused:

At first, thanks for letting Grumpy restore the posts.

Different sizes could be so many things, maybe you have ripped some files? Also from my little experience, lolz should not give so hugh differences and not always higher means better (got some games on lolz with some mb less on low settings then on higher settings, strange...). I think the best thing is to know first how much GB the game has after installing, this way you know if your total game size matches Simorqs one, if not it could be dlcs, language files, etc..

I dont think that nobody here was saying that you were dishonest, simorq only said that it was wrong because he tested it too, i think he used your method and said that something was wrong, sometimes we can have even a typing error (3 is next to 4 on the keyboard). I dont have any of the Devil May Cry games, so i cant look to it too, never liked those games hehehe.

Do you actually check for crc on compressions? Sometimes it can happen that ultraarc doesnt include all files without giving error. I usually do a sfv file from the original install and check it on the repack (it tells if there are bad or missing files).

;)

darkwolves

13-10-2018 23:01

no i didnt rip anything i've always admitted to ripping recoding etc and i don't use ultraarc
what i use is a compressor based off one panker made
i redid the entire compressor with my own settings
and the tools i use i have gatherd overtime

Thanks ;)

EDIT: I have restored 41 posts in the 'Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A' only, you may want to check to make sure there are no other posts you would like me to restore from other threads or check that the ones I have restored were not meant to be deleted for other legit reasons. ;)

No idea, with a crc file it should be easy to see if there is something missing. I recommend to do it on every pack because even if the game starts and is playable it can have missing files or bad files. Maybe different game versions or something (not always us and eu versions are exactly the same). But if you two say that your original size are 27.0gb then its strange like hell but it can be that the data on this 27gb is slightly different (maybe you dont have same amount of vids but have other files like dlc stuff or something). Thats why sfv files are so useful too. And game updates can make hugh differences too, for example on one of my last games, hitman, i had it previously on 22,8gb but have redone it after the 1.14.2 patch (around 300mb more in size). Doing it with same method gave me 22,6 (even with the game having bigger size).

Edit: Grumpy, thank you very much for taking your time and restoring them !!!

@K4miKaZe
I have seen you write 'your English is not good' ... I think your English is great for a Spanish speaking person but I hope you don't mind if I correct 2 words I have seen you and others either use wrong or misspelled .... this is only to help your English ....

Hugh should be 'Huge'

I have also seen the word 'spelled' used by a few people here, even though it is not actually wrong to use 'spelled' you can also use 'spelt' for past tense of 'spell'.

Another word I see here a lot is 'learned', again it is not wrong but 'learnt' is also used as the past tense of 'learn'.

I guess it depends on if you are using US English or UK English but both are technically correct. In Australia we are mostly taught UK English in schools. (for the record I finished school far to many years ago to mention but I believe they now allow both the UK and US spelling here in Australian schools, like 'colour' and 'color', 'honour' and 'honor' etc.)

You are right, here in Spain many people are bad in english, many dont even speak it because its not a priority on the schools. I was lucky because i was born in Germany and was there many years, did the school there and english was required. Also hanging out in english forums, chats, have friends in us and uk should help much too.

Maybe you can be my new personal english teacher ? :p

Bufff, Dishonored 2 is the only game i had so many issues, its a real pain. Tried xtool,ztool,pzlibv3 and nothing works. Tried some old dlls that razor published and it inflates well with them but on installation i got every time crc missmatch (unpacking didnt work as well). Now im trying it with reflate, already done around 10gb on test files and checked crc. Seems to work for that game but its slow, slow like a turtle (or even slower haha). For 500mb test (got that file into 50mb) it tooks over 10 minutes. So total time should be around 14-15 hours. If it works i will publish it later, probably this night or tomorrow.

I had a simmilar issue with FF Type-0 HD back in the days. Whenever I used xtool/ztool on all the *.pac files, unpacking gave me crc error on "pack4.pac". I had to exclude this file from all others and compress the file alone with zlib, then it worked well. Really strange.

What is strange is that an old tool like reflate can handle it without problem, or at least at the 10gb test files i used, wish it would be at least 50% faster. The ratio looks very good and thats the main reason i continue with this or the game goes directly to Recycle (that will have a better ratio :D).

As for Type-0 HD you can use xtool 0.9 without any problems on all files (x64)

** Forgive me. I forgot to report that if you have problems while compressing the * cpk files, try to compact them separately. In my case I used Srep v3.93 because with Srep v3.92 I've had CRC errors

Boh .. I do not understand use a method or a masked method, what means "all the other files = Lolz" if the first method already uses as a last lolz compressor.

Also srep+lolz on rest of files would probably work better, just as a tip. Maybe the problems while compressing are due to the srep version. Im using 3.9.2 because i had some little issues in the past with 3.9.3 and someone told me that infact this version has some issues (cant remember who hehe). Try it and look if it works great without problems.

Dishonored 2 step 1 completed (all inflated files done, sorted out files with errors ). Now im working on the rest of files, hell that was a lot of work. When i wake up i will post the results and full methods.

Good night !!!!
