pzlibV2

pzlib e -m3 -st50p -t8 -ct8 -c16m -b64k ( OK Comp ... OK Decomp )

pzlib e -m2 -st50p -t8 -ct8 -c16m -b64k ( OK Comp ... Decomp = infinite loop, remains so... )

Hehe, -t# controls -st# and -ct#, if you set -t7, st and ct become -st7 and -ct7 automatically. Anyways, it's not an infinite loop. pzlib keeps giving freearc incomplete data or rather damaged data, Freearc wants 32.8MB and pzlib keeps giving it 31.9MB, just for that, Freearc keeps calling pzlib, just check process hacker or task manager, you'll see pzlib is run and terminated over and over again, and when you check output directory, output is there but it keeps increasing endlessly, if there was a file after that dt15_win.cpk, you'll get CRC, but since it's just one file, CRC error is not called which happens to look like an endless loop.

m2 and m3 chunk data differently which is why m3 works and m2 doesn't, however with m3 working, it doesn't mean the problem is solved, m3 has problems of its own.

woo if I cancel the infinite loop the file becomes more than 1GB...:D
OK then return to the starting point...:rolleyes:
Set in default ini ... we see

[External compressorzlib]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e -m2 -t2 - -o - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = pZLib d -t2 - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

Result.

"dt15_win.cpk" will be your nightmare tonight...:rolleyes::o

Not really my nightmare mate, I don't use program plus bug is fixed in pzlib v3, but some bugs are still there, dt15_win.cpk is just a demonstration of what I had to do to fix the bug caused by it, you guys should do other ones, should be easy enough.

this is false.

1.Best way to compress bf3 game I am ending with 9.30 gb while other people's doing it in 8.80 gb how????
2.what is the best thing after precompsiom of a file like lzma but I want more ratio good. Is there any other??? Is lzma2 is good??
3.how to rebuild games archives for better results?? Like fitgirl?

What I see in the mechanics temp folder is precomp zlib1 files and they are reaching 8.80gb
If I pzlibv3+srep+lzma then I getting 7.5 gb only in cas.cas files update is 232 mb and 1.47 gb of win32folder And other files 150 mb I am having problems In en.sb ru.sb files???

question for razor about constant speed lzma

great tool and great precompmt
i have a question is there a way to get constant speed in decompression when using mpzlib+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d185m:fb273:mc10000:lc8.
i montor the disk usage is about 20 mb/s is there a better way to get 50 or 60 mb/s with the built in lzma not using fastzip or external xz.
i used 4x4:lzma work great it decompress gta 5 in 29 min using I7 6700K 4.7GHZ ON HDD WD BLACK but 4x4:lzma use half of cpu and i limit pzlib to 50%,
i disabled hyper threading to see how it work on I5 and agian try on 2 core 4 thread to see the different...
i try to use zstd with pzlib but i found the raito not great compare to lzma or 4x4:lzma...
so agian is there a middle ground improve lzma speed without using 4x4 only lzma.
thank

no need to answer i already found it.
i wish you best of luck in your study

If you're experiencing crc errors with pZLib. Send me a private message in attempt to fix it via Team Viewer.

razor precomp046 It was released by schneider, if you .. you can use with pzlib

Well pzlib was created as an alternate of precomp. It's not really innovative to create an alternative while still indirectly using the old product, it's hustling backwards.

http://krinkels.org/threads/pzlib_v3...33/#post-29919

Just look at the times yourself.

precomp 0.46 ?
i thought precomp 0.46 still in development still needed work like remove temp file which make <stdin> <stdout> work ?
i check on github but nothing only 0.44 and 0.45

just a tip after using pzlib+srep+lzma if decompress hang or give an crc try to reinstall visual studio all ver form 2008 to 2015 and see other program use it like intel management engine interface ?
and see in windows features remote differential compression if enable or disable ?
most of the time 8/10 pzlib work like charm.
another way try to use cls-precompmt only with 0.45 ver i didn't encounter any error...

thanks! very good wok

i said 8/10 it mean 80% with m2 i did't try m1
the setting

packcmd = pZLib e -m2 -c16m -b256k -t1 - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

agian great tool
thank's razor

Dishonored 2 http://www28.zippyshare.com/v/2OssNi5I/file.html
dont work with pZLib e -m2 -t8 -x -s -r9 - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

reflate work good:(
Razor, any help?

sometimes one or two games could not use pzlib, I tried extract no man sky and could not but other game work fine.

PLEASE ANYONE. Can someone please help create for me a compressor having pzlib+srep+lzma or something better? please

while compressing, it just closes. have no idea why

on windows 8.1 when i try to use 4x4:lzma with pzlib+srep i get this error many time ?
on windows 10 work great...
any idea...
thank for help

is pzlib better than the masked data compressor ?

Best of best !!!!!!!

Realy the best. It is Very fast but same ratio as reflate, most of times better than reflate.
I Used it in "Crysis 2 Maximum Edition" and got better ratio than reflate without any CRC error.
Where Precomp failed and reflate gave CRC error.
Compressed it From 9.19 GB to 6.66 GB with pzlib+srep+delta+lzma.
with reflate decompression time = 32 mins (but at94.7% CRC Check failed)
with pzlibv3 decompression time = 13 mins
Other Precompressor makers must learn from you.
All your projects are best and most usefull.
Keep up the good work.

Pzlib v3 does not work on cod black ops 3 / infinite warfare / modern warfare remastered ???
i tried plz4 it work but not the same ratio that i see on the internet some mange to get more ratio ?

>>Pzlib v3 does not work on cod black ops 3 / infinite warfare / modern warfare remastered ???

because they got lz4 and pzlib is for deflate

>>i tried plz4 it work but not the same ratio that i see on the internet some mange to get more ratio ?
fuc* of* videos
reduce their quailities

there is no difference in between this repack and my steam version of cod infinite warfare...

May be he made a universal cls for freearc may be working same as Razor's precompMt

Hey there. First, thanks Razor for pZlib.

I compressed Mad Max, and when I install it my CPU kinda gets fully loaded for some seconds and setup progress goes on, then CPU load is between 0-1% and setup progress just freezes, and so on. So, I am getting a very bad decompression time. How can I cure this?

Hey Razor , Thx again for that impressive tool , awesome work adding reflate functionnality for special zlib headers (optionnal Dll) ... wow ,very fast and great compression ratio

.... but main thing is that I can't unpack at all , always give crc checksum error at some point!

I tried on Shadow Warrior 2 bin files . Pzlib could reflate 12.9 to 22 Gb and then applying srep +lzma I could get a nice 8.4 Gb but decomp ( using ASC v0.0065 ) will always get stuck no matter how I do ... (same with pzlib v2)

I tried both V3 and hotfix, with and without optionnal files, I tried
parameters like :
-m2 -x -r9 -t4 (out of 8 threads for my xeon 3440) with optionnal Dlls
-m2 -c128m -t4
-m2 -c32m -st50
.....all giving roughly same ratio but still unpacking errors (ASC just stops decomp but no error)

Then i tried changing Input/Output settings in arc.in
from: - -0 - <stdin> <stdout>
to - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp (PrinceGupta recommendation)
....still errors at decomp , ASC stops

Then I tried to remove files on which ASC seems to hang... it always hangs on a new file, eventhough those files could be decomp previously (before I start to remove them)

Does this has something to do with ASC ....???

Then I finally tried to change Srep settings playing between m3f/m5f and even adding -hash=md5 crc checksum.... same results, ASC stops.

I am talking about errors because I am pretty sure that if I use inno script it will send me crc checksum error ....this already happenned to me using pzlib v2 with Skyrim SE and MGSV TPP (ASC stops and Inno gives a crc error)

....and I ve just finished DarkSiders Warmastered Edition .... It wasn't decompressing either (-m2 -c400m -t4, seems to be the best setting to catch all zlibs) ....I tried Srep m5f setting and it now decompress ok with ASC ..... awesome!

BIG thk you anyway for this great christmas Gift !!! we have a new toy to play with!!

@zouzouni, Shadow Warrior 2 has UNIQUE special stream on 1 BiG file, wherebout 6 GB single file (pc_arch_common.bin). Those reflate method will not passed the unique special stream and result in error while decompressing. Located wherebout 45% of file streams, try to use batch command reflate & combine with precomp (if precomp fail, then that's the unique stream) to see the address of exact location.

By the way, pZlib v3 was AWESOME!!! Thanks A Lot [RAZOR12911]
Working great on MAD MAX. It gives 12.95% compression ratio and 30 minutes of installation with no checksum error.
