NO warez!!!

This means release group names, etc. We know everyone uses them but for forums sake
we ask that they are never mentioned.

MortalKombat XL 19.2GB
 
total game size 36.8gb english only.
Asset folder size 26.2 to10.2gb > uelr:ulx+srep:m3f:d1g:a2+lolz:mtt1:d160m:mc1023:fb a:4096:pc4:x2:gm20
Movie folder bk2 has multi languages bk2, so i removed all except english and used bpk to compress to 8.68gb from 9.83gb (without credits).
*you can re-encoded with lower bitrate to achieve smaller size like 4gb to 5gb, so you can get 14gb -15gb final size...

doofoo24 08-01-2019 05:30

deus ex human revolution 4.6gb
 
game size 23.5gb this is rebuild using Gibbed.DeusEx3. removed usm making of deus ex and re-encode usm since quality is 720p i used bitrate 5k...
method srep:m5f:d1g:a2+lolz:d64m.
if you don't won't to use Gibbed.DeusEx3 then just use srep+lolz you will get 9.68gb...

doofoo24 08-01-2019 05:55

assassin's creed syndicate 19.7gb
 
Forge files afr:a2+srep:m2f:c512+lolz:mtt1:d192:mc1023:pc4:x2: gm20 from 54.2gb to 12.9gb.
the rest of the files with srep:m5f:a2+lolz:d64.
bk2 with bpk+srep...
nothing ripped (you can remove time lapse bk2)
*note if you use m3f/m5f on forge files you can improve compression to 12.7gb but srep need 15gb of ram in dec, using m2f:c512 srep need 8gb...
it will improve install time on hhd or less write cycle on ssd.

yes i thought the same,
After i try everything on that game...

srep+lzms or loz won't make any difference 100% ratio or 99.9%... And i stop during tje compression cause its not gonna work. Need precomp for that one..
maybe it zlib.. But like you said its encrypted or singed.

RePack Use DiskSpan on (UltraARC 2900 R6 PUBLIC)


For English,
Remove All Other Languages
But Keep (English) & (en)


On All Files: Method

Code:

bpk+xZ3+srep:m3f+lolz:d128m:mtt0:mt8:mtb64m:tt16:mc128
xZ3 = xLZO

Code:

xZ3 Settings on FA.ini (t100p,c32mb:lzo)
Original Size: 62.2 GB (66,792,125,055 bytes)
Compressed Size: 23.2 GB (24,931,020,603 bytes)

Starting: 2:26:19 AM
Finished: 8:46:15 AM
Decompress Time: 35m on 4C/8T


Note:
Last DVD Size Only 1.34 GB (1,448,963,810 bytes)
bpk compress only 500mb,
so without bpk, still fits to 6xDVDs
also you can use mc4 instead of mc128,
& still fits to 6xDVDs & it will save your time :)
you can change mt8 to 4,
it won't effect much on ratio
but it will slow the process time..
if you want, you can use mt1, and it will effect on ratio,
and process time will be extremely SLOW!!!

if you use mt1, try using mc1023, also bpk.
cause maybe you can come to 5xDVD, instead of 6.
but i can't say for sure,
try and see what's happen

the files are there and same settings used that's strange, i will redownload the files again.
Are you using x86 or x64 version of xtool and it's libraries?

as i said just use xtool with (zlibwapi.dll/raw2hif_dll.dll/hif2raw_dll.dll) better to remove other dll like (lz4.dll/lzo2...)

Already removed all other dlls and kept the ones you mentioned no gain, i've used xtool many times and it's working fine except this type of games that have *.pc_textures files :confused:

danswano 15-01-2019 05:57

Seriously guys, what could be possibly wrong so xtool is not detecting any streams of the *.pc_textures files?

KaktoR 15-01-2019 06:07

DS4ZLib nor GFS nor reflate stream detector detecting anything in this game.

But I have not tested.

Can you make a test run using my compressor on a specific file of the game and provide the results and filename please?
