Good :)

These questions are self-explanatory. Each compression codec is different on its own. ZLib is an old and simple codec which works rather fast on current generation machines. Oodle has different levels and codecs and the ones used on games are somewhat heavier than ZLib so it takes more hardware power to do recompression. Although new games built using Oodle should be faster than ZLib now (in terms of compression bcz decompression was always way faster anyway) because of Oodle 2.7, why ? A very good example is Just Cause 4, you will notice its significantly faster due to the usage of Oodle 2.7 so whichever game uses oo2core_7_win64.dll will probably show faster precompression with Razor's oodle tool.

That is very helpful..

Why did you keep that to your self.. Haha joking :D

Yes i noticed Jc4 fast..

Thanks for sharing this info.. :)

oodle and cpk especially are slower than zlib especially if compressed with lzma over lolz
lolz may take longer to compress but it unpacks much faster than lzma

Yes i have notice that too..
Now im using LOLZ....
latest version is test beta right?
when stable version come out?

I'm currently using 2.0a7 version..

No. Recompression speed depends on levels and compressors used by game devs. Starting with Oodle 2.6 Kraken compression with level 9 and above is about 20 times slower than Kraken@9 in Oodle 2.4-2.5. That's why games like WWE 2K19 and FIFA 19 are so slow on recompression. JC4 uses lower levels of Kraken/Mermaid, that's why it's relatively fast. But if gamedevs will continue to compess games with Kraken@9 with Oodle 2.6+, they all will install very slow, when repacked with recompression.

That's BAD News, hope they don't :(

Indeed, we can play laggy games but not suffer longer installations ;)

Yes bro that's true...

Did you just assume my gender? :eek:

:p ;) :D

tested oodle on AC Origin detected less than afr:a2, after srep+lolz the same setting used on both...
the one with afr 200mb less than oodle...

tested on mortal kombat 11 no effect

lzna was used on this game, if I remember correctly, I remember making an update for xtool for this game in particular, maybe try xtool

@Razor12911
it also had no effect as well when i turn the game on it shows the kraken oodle thing i have used everything with oodle thusfar nothing has had an effect on it

i will keep trying till i find something out srep and lolz can drop the game size by like 5 to 6 gigs depending on settings alone just gotta find out exactly how to precompress

I tried to compress rage 2 with oodle using oo2reck+oo2recs. But it won't give compression ratio as Repacking groups.

When i scan game files. It shows 1 and 2 mostly.
But how can i find the 2 is mermid or selki....?

Should i need to use the dll which is inside game folder or provided with oodle tool...?

Plz explain. Thank you.

Yes, you have to use the dll which is inside the game folder. Copy this dll to where your oo2reck+oo2recs files are.

And make sure only 1 dll is present in this folder.

What is the best arc settings for srep and lolz for rage 2.

Thanks for the reply.

their is nothing like best settings, it all depends upon the how the data was created and with what? obviously!

but surely you can tinker with the settings.

Generally

Srep l512 ,lolz d512m

Maybe 1024m is overkill. :D

P.S. However, these options are suitable if the system has 16 gigabytes of RAM and a 30 gigabyte swap file :)

Wolfenstein Youngblood
 

i tested it on Wolfenstein Youngblood but no expand at all
oo2reck+oo2recs
oo2core_6_win64.dll
or
oo2core_7_win64.dll

no expand

any help appreciated

WY uses Oodle's Leviathan compression, which is not supported by these tools.

Also it's not worth it to recompress those files. It will take 4-5 hours on 4-threads CPU and you will save only 3.5 GB.

Kraken and Leviathan got a serious performance hit while switching from 2.5 to 2.6/2.7.

Example chunk compression time for leviathan level 5:
2.5.2 - 11 sec
2.6.0/2.6.2/2.6.3 - 3 min 20 sec

So it became 18 times slower, with a final size of data a little bit smaller. In some cases it's close to lolz.

then add more threads :)
also good to know there is something that uses leviathan, should be easy to add

Well, saving of 3.5 GB and installation of 4 hours on 4-threads PC is not something I can tolerate, and I'm very patient in terms of installation :)

As for leviathan here, devs did an update, so the unpacked size is nowhere in the chunks and leviathan doesn't return error code on a wrong size, so you can guess what can happen :)

If you still want the sample, ping me you-know-where :)

First thanks for caring to reply
second 4 to 5 hours waow , i will never try that:eek:
you saved me here :)

As always, most of game files are encrypted.

Yes, but the decrypted file also don't decompress. It is possible the keys do not fit

Of course they don't fit. New game = new key.

WWE 2k20
 

WWE 2k20 uses oodle but the scanner doesn't find any oodle streams ?

any one tested it ?

I tested it with multi oodle versions ... I think game has encrypted files ... Need password

it may use leviathin i am not sure the last game used kraken all others were zlib

it appears oodlemt 1.3 using leviathan has an effect on wwe2k20

Huh? Why do you try to use Leviathan over ENCRYPTED data, already compressed with Oodle Hydra?

same reason i mess with everything TESTING and at the time i did not know it was compressed with hydra so instead of poking at my posts like you have done in the past please leave me alone

I understand that there's no point in compressing the game since the files are encrypted? If the precomp has no overall effect.

Correct. Encrypted data can't be preprocessed.

Small question
 

Hello,

I have a small question regarding what to expect from Oodle rec.

I have compressed the main files of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice using it, many thanks, however I was wondering if the files are meant to be precompressed into much larger sizes, such as how zlib precompression can make files more than 150% their original size!

Here is a snippet from my compression log:

Please note I copied the oo2core_6_win64.dll from the game to my oodle folder in my compressor, and I am using the Kraken version.

My point is, the precompression hasn't seemed to make the files much larger. Does this mean there is an error with the process? I am only asking because previous to today, I have not compressed an Oodle game.

After SREP and LOLZ, the end archive is 9.6GB (from 11.3GB).
