Steel Division 2 v67500 + All DLCs + Bonus Content

Code:
xtool:reflate+srep+lolz
66.2GB ===> 30.6GB

Notes:
  • DO NOT use ZLIB codec for XTool, crash on decompression.
  • Not much point in separating bonus content, just keep it in main archive.
  • 20 hours max needed for this one, especially if you lolz which needs about 17 hours on its own.

There is some WWise Audio in SIFU (especially Chinese voiceovers) but the PAK is encrypted and this is not something I am 100% certain you can tamper with. I know QuickBMS reimporting does not work here.

OlliOlli World [Build 7770373]

Step 1: Decompress all .bundle files using UBT. Compress the decompressed files to tmp files and make HDiffZ patches with all tmp files to original bundles. Discard tmp files and original bundles leaving HDiffZ patches and decompressed bundles.

You should end up with about 60mb of HDiffZ patches - not bad for 1100 bundles :D

Step 2: Compress with srep+lolz

2.9GB ====> 4.4GB (after UBT) ====> 720MB

Pretty close good than my single file Hedon.ipk3 (compressed 494 MB).

So after encoding, how can I decode back from compressed file to original files like subfolders (folder directory) back?

:( Sad8669 18-02-2022 06:32
It's not just a file, it's the whole game.

Put the archive near Freearc and use the unpack command to decode it, make sure you set the arc.ini for the compressors and precompressors.

When it comes to zlib codecs (mostly reflate or preflate), greater output doesn't mean the best especially if every single one of them is close to each other in terms of result. Apply strong compression and see for yourself. You may find out that reflate producing larger output is the worst.
Just a minor tip... That's why in the last update, I added reflate level control which can be access by -mreflate:l9, the best level is the one that gives the least output. (Default is 6)
