I can't get more. I have tested the first 200mb from Data0.bdt

Code:

200 -> 355 -> 366

Edit: Here is another test for Data3.bdt

Code:

v2.8.14

15077/18312



v2.5.5 / v2.5.2 / v2.5.0

Maybe you get more out of it using n# option

Does anyone know how BMP detection under MSC works? Got a few titles I'm working on that mainly use BMP images for texture assets, however MSC seems to skip over the majority of files. I had a brief trawl through some posts here but searching with shorter search terms is a massive pain in the arse and didnt yield a lot of information.

Maybe the thread on Krinkels.org may help you?

Wolfenstein II The New Colossus

Code:

 15:56:42 - Selected ARC/DS method for Data1b-01.bin was: bpk

 21:50:55 - Overall output size: 43.14 GB (Ratio 73.37%)

 21:50:55 - Overall conversion time: 05:53:20

Notes:
- Majority of *.resources files using level 4, majority of *.texdb and *.cache using level 5. I was too lazy to sort them out properly so I didn't use the l# option for xtool.
- On many files I didn't got all kraken streams, I checked with every library I have and even used different libraries with --oodle= option like with Elden Ring but to no avail.
- *.pages files using lz4hc but most likely weak compression, but couldn't get all streams (overall about half of streams), so I decided to just compress them with srep+lzma.

Unlike it's original variant, paks in Crysis 3 Remastered are not encrypted. They are just standard zip files and can be precompressed with xtool:

Code:

Compressed Animations.pak, 144,174,121 => 229,174,364 bytes. Ratio 158.96%

Is anyone here working with xtool's --dedup option?

I made many tests since yesterday and I think this will replace srep command entirely, at least for me.

Code:

xtool+srep+4x4:lzma

Compressed 27 files, 4,594,892,800 => 2,346,970,567 bytes. Ratio 51.08%

Compression time: cpu 3.69 sec/real 921.49 sec = 0%. Speed 4.99 mB/s

All OK



15min 23sec

Code:

xtool+4x4:lzma

Compressed 27 files, 4,594,892,800 => 2,346,861,976 bytes. Ratio 51.08%

Compression time: cpu 2.69 sec/real 660.86 sec = 0%. Speed 6.95 mB/s

All OK



11min 02sec

--dedup=(1..5)
srep.exe must be present next to xtool.exe for compression and decompression (no cls-srep required)

Here is another test. You can use xtool without any precompression too.

Code:

xtool+4x4:lzma

Compressed 7,383 files, 31,661,584,708 => 8,601,282,118 bytes. Ratio 27.17%

Compression time: cpu 16.39 sec/real 1506.53 sec = 1%. Speed 21.02 mB/s

All OK

Code:

srep+4x4:lzma

Compressed 7,383 files, 31,661,584,708 => 8,601,527,510 bytes. Ratio 27.17%

Compression time: cpu 24.27 sec/real 2312.41 sec = 1%. Speed 13.69 mB/s

All OK

Code:

[External compressor:xtool]

header    = 0

packcmd   = "{compressor}.exe" precomp { -moption} --dbase --dedup=3 - - <stdin> <stdout>

unpackcmd = "{compressor}.exe" decode -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>
