Ok, it works
it's not a realy nice way to pack/unpack but it works
I think the problem is when use zip with password, it introduce some random number in header and data of the final zip
So there is no easy way to use xdelta or hdiff to rebuild original file

what i've done for v1.04.987:
uncompress basis.pak in a temporary folder
uncompress patch_003.pak in temporary folder
uncompress patch_005.pak in temporary folder
remove basis.pak patch_003.pak patch_005.pak

pack with diskspangui

then in my unpack batch, in the temporary folder :
.\7z.exe -mx5 -tzip -spe -poKoo$]bnGTKJLMNBA9A a patch_003.pak .\patch_003\*
.\7z.exe -mx5 -tzip -spe -poKoo$]bnGTKJLMNBA9A a patch_005.pak .\patch_005\*
.\7z.exe -mx5 -tzip -spe -poKoo$]bnGTKJLMNBA9A a basis.pak .\basis\*
move basis.pak ..\
move patch_005.pak ..\
move patch_003.pak ..\
delete temporay folder

I'm around 10go compressed game with setup.exe
game works without issue

Hello everyone, maybe someone knows the compression method for the Crime Boss Rockay City game? this is an example file:
Ucas: https://drive.google.com/file/d/141x...usp=drive_link
Pak: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1P7Q...usp=drive_link
Thank you:)

zlib+reflate gives slightly better ratio:

Code:
xtool precomp -mzlib data
XTool is created by Razor12911

Version 0.8.7

Streams: 20523 / 20974
Time: 00:00:03 (CPU 00:00:25)

Size: 406 MB >> 924 MB

I'm around 10go compressed game with setup.exe
game works without issue
I did a deep check today and found out there are at least 1 wav file which will crash using msc or flac.

KaktoR 20-06-2024 09:56
This file will cause a crash:
Code:
basis.pak\sounds\dialogs\10_mission\10th_sintu_last_mission_1_1.wav
PS: I can't edit my previous post because forum software is bugged.

wareck 20-06-2024 12:57
yes in fact there are something like 12 wav files that can crash msc/flac
that's why I switched to wavpack which does 100% wav conversions

There's another little trick
If you make a batch script to automate file creation before compression.
some files have names in Cyrillic
So I added this command to my batch file:
Quote:
chcp 65001

wareck 20-06-2024 12:59
I can post my batch files if you want
it's not really optimized I've started to try conversion something like 2 month ago...

Thank you for telling me, but why is the compression process always stuck here? I've been waiting for 4 hours and it hasn't finished

See if srep.exe is in use (taskmanager)

It doesn't work (down to 0) and I've tried using srep as well as stuck, can you help me analyze this game?
