A friend of mine did more tests of cls vs generic pzlib. Decoding speed.


enc opts: pzlib:m2

win7_sp1_x64
i7-4700MQ / 8 GB RAM
RAM-Disk

CLS updated

-Cancel bug fixed
-Added multi threading user control example

Well it's not surprising, cls is actually x86, it should produce roughly the same speed as pzlib x86.

What are your srep/lzma2 parameters you got 4.36GB with?
Please provide .bat and arc.ini parameters.
Thanks.

pzlib+srep+lzma2 4.26 GB
Arc.ini

Razor, thank you for the latest update - now the installer closes properly!
You're a gift to this community!

change arc.ini to use the commands listed ( parts without crc error )

With t25p and t75p works well until now free of CRC, before there was that problem to cancel and did not, do not comment because Razor12911 is busy in classes, but now if it works well.

But waiting for an improvement so that the CPU can be used to maximum when compressing t8.

Thank you very much

Version 3.2 now available

Changes

-Tried to fix crc errors, no idea if they are fixed or not.
-Removed several options because there are just to many for some people to understand what they do.
-Tried to fix decoding termination, in case you want to cancel decoding process, it must now work without killing process, not sure either.
-method setting removed, from now it just searches for deflate streams which is m2 by default.
-by default reflate and zlib are blended.
-special stream option "s" is removed, found a way to process them.

Deflate Streams Better.

More than an Update seems to be a Downgrade, I enjoy working on pzlib, great Razor.

thx.

unpack with CLS x64 gives an error message:
ERROR: unsupported compression method pzlib

x86 - OK

Downgrade in what way? I just removed options that you guys have no knowledge of how they are used then complain afterwards. For example, I've seen most people using 's' when I specified that the option is only for the game DOOM. Otherwise it messes up ratio. I've seen people setting things like b4096m or even c4096m. Pzlib will obviously crash. Maximum chunk size of program is 1792mb. And even that is very high because there are no streams in games that big. The changes now allow you to use 400mb chunk size for DOOM rather than 600mb or 700mb to capture all streams. So the only thing I did was make program decide by itself for all the options I removed.

X64 DLLs can only be imported by x64 executables -_- CLS x64 can only work with x64 arc.exe and unarc.DLL x64

This is where this comes in http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=99263

@everyone
If CRC errors are gone, then bug was caused by multi threaded scanning and/or processing. Threads tend to disturb each other since they are using the same data and info to function. Problem isn't related to I/O

It was a sarcastic joke, obviously for the options you've taken away, and not added.;)

It works like a charm

Is any chance for a pzlib like preprocessor which unpacks ZSTD streams ?

I assure you a lot of names have tried
And "also you have to be religious and ask your god if u need it even" - Deadsec

I didnt know that.
Thanks!

can't set number of thread for the new cls-pzlib.dll ?
using pzlib with arc.ini set t100p is much faster...
is there cls-pzlib.ini option ???

Hi everyone! Thanks Razor again for all the work done.

I've got a question regarding the CLS. I've taken a 3GB data and compressed/decompressed via .exe and .dll. So, CLS decompresses data 2 times slower.

• I've used x64 executable, x64 cls and x64 lib. dlls for compression.
• During decompression I am using x86 cls.

Using x64 cls gives me CRC error at start and afaik it is not possible to use it with x86 unarc. What suggestions do you have to get nearly (not same) decompression time as in case with .exe?

And am I using the correct files for decompression process?

Hi Razor12911
How do we know what is best chunk size of each game?

!
Mad Max pZLib:c32+srep+lzma 1hour Extract
Mad Max pZLib:c256+srep+lzma 35Min Extract

Can you please provide the code & resource files you used in your script that you used to decompress the pzlib based archive. I'm suffering from the same issue, my installer can't extract. I'm just asking for the required code and resource files that instruct the installer to extract the pzlib archives.
Please..:(

Ztool related question
 

What is arc.ini setting for ztool posted by razor in another thread.
Please help me.

don't you feel like the man who made this tool is gone because it was stolen and you are asking for an arc.ini setting give the man some respect

I am not that selfish. I already thanked him. BTW he posted it in anpther thread, what is the point of posting it, if he is not going to tell anyone how to make it work.

okay i didn't say that you are selfish but someone in his place for example me would do the same as he did maybe more

why error disk full when i am compressing?

Ztool is no longer under production anyways better off using pzlib or precomp :rolleyes:
i am not going to play innocent and claim i have not tried it thats how i know..
it won't work the way you want it to it is an abandoned project by razor wich
also led to his retirement due to it being leaked and he worked very hard on that tool..
it was not supposed to be public

Razor will not stop updating his instruments, he is in his DNA is stronger than he, an updated and improved version of ztool surely already exists, logically not to the public service...;)

The stable(v1) version was just not leaked, but exists. Unstable version was leaked. And yep it's not updated anymore with this name.

i don't need Ztool lol i can compress things just fine without it lol:D

given all the free he has given us it's his right to keep things private
if he wants to he never had to make any of the free tools i don't need it i compress just fine without it lol

How is the program used? I hope someone will provide a way to thank everyone

help me, thanks.....

as i said its pointless to use it its not supported anymore and doesn't work
except for two functions on certain games pzlib3 does the same thing

is used by all repackers in the world and you say that is not good. :D
It is what works according to you??
With the words we are good all but with the facts are in a few and one of those who made so many facts is razor
let me see what you are good at doing..

I program far less than you think now, slowly depleting in DNA and no, no improved version of ztool exists, all that I created after that are just scattered unfinished projects like pUnity and pOodle which were just created and put away :(

It's actually true, pzlib in ztool is terrible, even sometimes using pzlib v3 is better due to the fact that the person who leaked it saved me a lot of trouble by leaking the most unstable release, the release that came before 0.0.19.8 is even better so jokes on him.
plz4 only works on Frostbite 3 engine, nothing much to offer there since lz4 is a weak algorithm, you gain 1gb diff at most.
plzo only works on anvil engine games but not all
pzstd works on Frostbite 3 engine games which happens to be only Mass Effect Andromeda and doesn't work on FIFA 17 while nor in any upcoming games because game devs decided to switch to Oodle for FIFA 18 and any other upcoming game probably so he's right by saying it's not good, the leaker leaked tool before it was worth it :)

if that is so they are modfiying it themselves doesn't change the fact it was stolen

How you know that? Serious question.:D
