No, AWB is a lossy format so even when you extract the wav audio, there's no way you can patch it back.

Edit : Nothing.

Codec : Crilayla

Some .cpk like movie and sound contains no streams, so you can save time by separating them.

Naruto - Ultimate Ninja Storm [English Only][v1.0]
 

Note : Game is tested and is playable, but before you start the match you must select the sound which you didn't rip out otherwise it will crash the game.


Tools Used + Thanks to : - QuickBms - HxD Hex Editor - Scaleform Encoder - VGMTool Box - Masquerade - panker1992 - Everyone

It seems that you have gotten the idea !!! interesting

i would like to see future repacks made this way, as i find it very resource wasting to have videos 30mbps and audio of the highest quality with no real reason

Now, this is a unity game and you only need srep and lolz, however SREP would crash when trying to run on this game files, so I put xtool in front and it worked (failure on both srep 3.92b and srep 3.2). XTool does nothing to actually improve compression here.

18.2GB ---> 3.8GB

Please write the full parameters that you used for lolz and which version of xtool have you used.

Dying Light Platinum Edition

Has anyone tried Serious Sam 3 (BFE)? I have tried the method on here (by dixen), but for some reason, it doesn't work as well.

6 GB > 5.55GB for me. I tried changing out my version of XT and srep/lolz as well but it gets almost the same result. :confused:

Make sure you don't have LZMA enabled in your MSC configs, since it will compress everything input with LZMA after any media streams.

Small language update for Spyro Reignited Trilogy (if anyone cares at all :D).

Was able to figure out all languages by Audio Track ID

*Example: Spoken "[...]es una criatura simplona."
But I'm not sure what is Spain and Mexico. We need some guidance from Spain/Mexican people here :D

**In Portuguese it is "[...]é uma criatura simples."

I will do this same shit for Crash Bandicoot.

Language update for Crash Bandicoot 4 It's about Time

I couldn't figure out what language ID 4 is yet.

PS: ID 4 is somewhat spanish mexico or whatever. They say "si" for "yes". But other keywords don't match with spanish (spain) or italian.

Spanish (Mexico) is Spanish for Latin America. Spanish (Spain) is European, the difference lies in words and adjectives.

For example, mobile phone (Spain) and cell phone (Latin America), things like that

Telefono movil (España) - Celular (Latinoamerica)(Mexico)

It is essentially the same only that in Latin America and in Spain different words are used to express the same idea

Makes sense, but because I don't speak spanish I can't tell you any deeper differences between Spanish and Latam ;)

What's Best Method for compression?

This game's PKG archives are compressed using LZ4, so first you need to find a way to decompress files inside the archives. Since the header of the files appear to be encrypted, unlike previous games, there's no BMS script to unpack the PKG.

Masquerade , can you show me your method plz !:)

I tried (xtool+srep+lolz), i got 25,5gb (english+french)!
Your method is better (21gb)
thx!

I used VGM toolbox to "extract" the PKGs, since every lz4 stream is very easy to detect with the 0x04224D18 header with PKGB before the steam and PKGE after the stream. When each file is extracted, you can use lz4 exe to decompress the extracted lz4 streams, then compress with xtool:zlib+srep+lolz.

Then, to remake the pkgs, you just need to compress each file again individually with the lz4 exe using -9 --no-frame-crc arguments. Then, concatenate the files together (I use bincat for this since it's fast and simple, not sure of native cmd option) and xdelta.

Make your xdeltas before compressing your archive, since you will need to decompress all of the extracted files from the pkgs, compress them, then concatenate them to make a temp file. You can compare the temp file with the original pkg to make a delta.

For the sound files, I used razor.

I found out that Yoku's Island Express use ZLIB?

Life Is Strange: Before The Storm (GOG)

*.bytes - xtool (v0.12 + lz4 codec) + srep + lolz

6 gb > 4.6 gb

Rest files - srep + lolz
105 mb > 31 mb

RePack size - 9.3 gb
Install time - 6 min. (R5 3600, 16 gb RAM, HDD>HDD)

NOTE. Why ZSTD? Easy)))
