Bro, I compressed a software of name Advanced Installer 11.7, and I don't have antivirus, even my windows defender is off

ok ok :D

remove this line

solid = 0 from arc.ini
its down on msr :)

this will end your problem though i dont recommend to turn off this feature :/

ok bro, it helped me, thanks, one more advice is needed, which compression algo is best in masked compression? And bro, whenever I use lztmax then I got a freearc353465363.tmp folder when installation is completed, but when i use Ultra or brute then I didn't got this problem!

There is no best algo, every algo play within 3 dimensions

one is compression speed
second is ratio
third is decomp speed

Every algo can have 2 out 3 from the above virtues, so a masked process will always win over the classic process

no algo can have all the above, nanozip has best compression ratio but in terms of speed both comp and decomp it's useless

if there was a perfect algo then this masked thing would be useless :/

I hope i helped Amsal :)

And bro, whenever I use lztmax then I got a freearc353465363.tmp folder when installation is completed, but when i use Ultra or brute then I didn't got this problem!

EDIT - can you also tell which method/algo you used to compress Assassin's Creed Syndicate with all updates to 21.8GB

I like new precomp speed and panker how can remove msc size filter

you can remove it in arc.ini here it is

[External compressor:msc]
header = 0
packcmd = MSC c -v -f -wav=1 -raw=1 -bmp=1 -ddsraw=1 -ddsdxt=1 -mp3=1 -bmf=9s -tak=9 -dxt=1 -lzma=hc4,lc8,lp2,pb2,fb273,mc1000 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

i will warn you tho, this can become unstable if you force it with -f switch

@amsal i used -moptimal for assassin creed :) its pretty straight technique

add these lines in arc.ini and replace lzt

[External compressor:lzt]
;x64 version ;fast: -32 ;max:-p1 -49 -b200
packcmd = lzt -p2 -49 -b200 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = lzt -d $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
datafile = $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
packedfile = $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

Thanks for that, Is bink is also needed to get that size?

yes, but with Bink make sure you keep back up of the original files ...

not all .bk2 files are supported

assassin creed can only scale percentage, you cannot downscale to 720p for example

you need to remove the /i5 parameter from bk2_enc.bat and use only the percentage parameter else it doesnt work

Bro, the fix of lzt is not working! I am still getting 1 freearc1432543.tmp folder in the installation

you need to apply it to arc.ini on compression and on decompression "Resources folder"

this has to be applied on 2 different ini files ; forgot to tell you that :/

Still I am getting!

lzt lacks stdout, is this the first time you get this freearc temp file ??

[External compressor:lzt]
packcmd = lzt -p1 -49 -b200 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = lzt -d $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
datafile = $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
packedfile = $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

use this line instead :)

it will only use 1 CPU Core, same one i provided with mask v2.1

It also didn't helped, but I also got this problem earlier but that time you fixed it by removing nz by something other, but here there is no nz

devastate method is there :D

i didnt remove anything, also i only rewrote masks, i didnt rewrite structure of compression in arc.ini

this freearc "temp" only happens in v2.3 or in v2.1 too ??

in v2.3 only!

And bro, how can I run Advanced_Data_Comp_Linux.bat in the Ubuntu 14.10

I dont know what is going on :/ i need to test lzt.

use my legacy v2.1 until i post on this, lzt and nanozip are reported to leave a trash folder

i dont know why tho ?? they are both closed source how random can this be ??

I hope it will be fixed soon!

Amsal do you want to try lzham ?? it rolls with same criteria

nice ratio, very fast decompression similar to a classic lz77 :)
if you want i will post it

Yeah sure, and I can be your tester if you want

and bro, can you also able to add lz5 in this

zstd is superior to lz5, if you want to turn your zstd into a lz5 fast just lower to this switch

from -9 turn it to -1 with this you are on lz5 ground, in decompression you wont feel the difference anyways


lzham it is :) give me a few moments and i will update you to use lzham instead

Bro, thanks for helping me, BTW, is you have any idea to compress SIMS 4 with all dlcs LOSSLESS repack?

use ultra method should be pretty easy :)

So bro, is you completed your update for lzham?

Sorry it took me so much time Amsal :/ i am testing New reflate + Felice new DLG

and i nearly forgot, uploading now, check here this post will be edited in few seconds :)


edit : lzham

I am updating my masked compression to support razor reflate, and adding masked reflate also

stay tuned :)

Review lzham vs lzturbo so i know how to work in the future, if people ask lzham then lzham it is :)

[External compressor:lzham]
packcmd = lzham -m4 -d29 c $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = lzham -c d $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

I have tried using all the methods and none of them seem to use zstd and msr. Please help.

Funny Bug in MSR...:D
MSR not digest the Spain..:eek:
Try to put the image (*.jpg) of the Spanish Flag in any folder with other files, and tell me if you can accomplish the compression using the a method included the algorithm "msr".
I can not do it keeps giving me error.:confused:
Attachment 13410

ahahahaha :) i will just need time because i work hard on updates also, testing some utilities


Felice i need a favor to ask, razor has posted a test because he builds some statistics for his work

please run some tests and post results :) would be greatful

Bro, I want to repack Mad max, and I am really a lot waiting for your reflate support with masked, and bro, when you make compatible reflate with masked then also add precomp 0.43 in it, so we can use precomp -brute in it, because there is no support for -brute in 0.38, and bro, u have any idea how to compress mad max game at lowest size with masked?

mask arc files

$deflate
*.arc

add this in arc.groups


then add this line in your arc.bat
arc a -ma9 -ds -lc1024 -ld1024 -di -i1 -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ Data\data2.bin -mmsc+srep64+delta+exe2+xz -m$deflate=reflate+srep64+delta+lz77 "pack\*"

my new v2.4 will come with new features and reflate :) i have not completed it yet so please wait for a polished and finished project :D

Hoping it will be sanded and finished, at least for a week, if you update and change methods and masks every 24 hours...:D I can not post the new MSK.
I have to understand with certainty at least the final structure that you will use for masks compression.:p

Thanks again like everytime, but if you will release masked 2.4 tomorrow then i can wait, and don't forget to add ram optimization also!

EDIT: I am testing it and finding that mine old one is good or your one!

Felice i am working on 2.4, only today i took a long break to breathe some fresh air.

I dont want to change masks either :/ but my private chat is flooded but requests for different programs and different methods :/

to the point that either i will do what most want, or follow my plan to letter :P

i simply want to satisfy as many as i can :P the only mask that i changed myself what adding the msr (precomp0.45) and maybe fixxing the nasty bug

And bro, here one more feature you can add -

Add precomp0.43 additional, so that everyone can use precomp/precomp0.43, because some games compress very well by precomp0.43, like you can add precomp0.43 in the arc.in, and there will be precomp0.38 too!

EDIT : actually precomp brute doesn't work on precomp0.38, and brute works amazingly on 0.43, so I think it is a good idea!

i will probably make this is precomp festival :)

here it is a problem that slowed 2.4 progress by 2 days already

i cannot fix this error reformatted entire pc and still here it is :/

if you don't mind, give this to me in pm, I will try to test

Amsal i cannot test because i get this error, i am totally in despair

this aint reflate test....this is a precomp failed test

i used precomp and here is the error that wont leave me alone to work :/

Yeah I know this is precomp error, but bro, is it possible that you can add 0.44 completely instead 0.45

EDIT: Bro, one more thought, try 0.45 with Blackbox/WPI script, and then test that it is decompressing or not?

And I pray that you get the solution of this problem as soon as possible
