Last question where can i get the script for this installer.

Grab Winhex and try yourself. And this installer is based on Windows Phone Installer by Razor12911. It's modified version. Grab the installer from WPI thread.

Bro thank you

I did it by increasing the playback speed of the original game video and then i joined my own intro to the edited game video and voila it worked perfectly.

how to crate a installer that optimises itself to extract on slowly on pcwith low ram and to extractfaster on pc withhigh ram.

KaktoR

31-05-2017 11:53

I would say (for logic :D) define some system specs.

When low RAM is detected, Setup uses low RAM settings.

But, i don't can give you a example now.

I am sure some experienced users can give you some hints.

This.

05-06-2017 09:27

Bro, just as I said, I need full version(with unarc.dll etc.), not arc.exe

kassane

05-06-2017 09:34

The latest full version is March 2014. Never announced a new version to the public!

Edit:

The latest unarc release from jully 2014. Probably with htmlarc support.

KaktoR

05-06-2017 09:57

I have installed v0.67 (March 2014).

I don't have the installer, but i can give you pre-installed folder if you wish.

Someone here can explain to me how to repack Dishonored 2 in a good way ?

I seen some repack of 22GB. I know those repackers used reflate.

I tested reflate on a little file (game1_004.resources | 595Mb) and it is so slow ! I can't imagine how can be slow on other big files ! Someone can help me to understand ?

KaktoR

Have this game any deflate streams at all?

Haven't checked yet.

Try to unpack game files, compress them, then pack the files to it's original again and make sure md5 is the same.

I checked with Zlib Checker Pro and it freezes on big files:

game2.resources | 6.01GB
game3.resources | 5.87GB
shared_2_3.sharedrsc | 7.87GB

Btw the program didn't freeze on the first file and found some stream inside game1.resources (7.28GB).

Someone suggested to me to use reflate. I tried with reflate 1500 by razor on a little file like I said and it is very slow. It takes more than 10 minutes to install LOL.

Tried with pzlib v3.2 and these parameters:

pzlib e -t8 -ct8 -c256m -b512k -r9

and it makes a very good work but I get error of crc mismatch with the installation. These .resources files given to me problems with pzlib and The Sims 4 files too. Seems like pzlib damages .resources files.

Anyone here can give to me the best version of reflate and pack command for arc.ini file(I'm using masked data compressor) ?

KaktoR

06-06-2017 13:49

Use this instead, it's better and not freezing at all (even with 19gb single file).
http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=98731

This settings should work without problems

packcmd = pZLib e -m2 -x -c32m -t25p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> -v
unpackcmd = pZLib d -t100p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

And Sims 4 decompression is OK here. So no problems with resource files.

And for reflate, use reflateapi -> http://krinkels.org/resources/reflate-api.247/

It's faster.

https://s10.postimg.org/urlw88mcl/Immagine.png

reflate seems to be slow like a snail. Never seen this with pzlib.

I have an Intel Xeon E3-1230 v3 and I'm using this command for reflate:

reflate c/d -l8 -t8 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

I tried with "l6" too, but it is the same. Any suggestion ?

Edit: I solved the problem, like an idiot I used "c/d" for compression XD

Reflate is slow.but that Xeon is not going to make any difference cause that cpu only boosts to 3.7ghz on 1 core on normal boards thats why its so slow.

But if you have a good asrock mobo with the right bios you can get it to boost at 3.7ghz on all 4 cores and that will improve alot on your repacking not only with reflate but with other compressions.and a good hdd or ssd will help also.

Working great so far Gupta, i have another question, how can i run more parallel runs/threads of the same program to speed decompression in said script?

note: The program doesn't have -t4 option or something similar.

Replace below function with the function here in this script
i am not gonna explain furthur details you have to answer it yoursef

Code:

function EXEC_UNPACK( const Exec , Option , inFiles, inDir : string; Deldest : boolean): boolean;

var

  ExecError :boolean;

  FindHandle1, ColFiles1, CurIndex1 : Integer;

  InFilePath, OutFilePath, OutFileName : PAnsiChar;

  temp : string;

  #ifdef ppx2

    Str : array of string;

    cmd : string;

    i : integer;

  #endif

begin

  FindHandle1:=ISFindFiles(0,inFiles,ColFiles1);

  ExecError:=false;

  #ifndef ppx2

    while not ExecError and ISPickFilename(FindHandle1,inDir,CurIndex1,DelDest) do

    begin

      temp := option;

      InFilePath:=ISGetName(0);

      OutFilePath:=ISGetName(1);

      OutFileName:=ISGetName(2);

      StringChangeEx(temp,'<infile>',InFilePath,true);

      StringChangeEx(temp,'<outfile>',OutFilePath,true);

      ExecError:=not ISExec(0, 0, 0, Exec,temp,ExpandConstant('{tmp}'),OutFileName,false);

    end;

  #else

    i := 1;

    CreateDir(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Bat'));

    while not ExecError and ISPickFilename(FindHandle1,inDir,CurIndex1,false) do

    begin

      temp := option;

      InFilePath:=ISGetName(0);

      OutFilePath:=ISGetName(1);

      OutFileName:=ISGetName(2);

      StringChangeEx(temp,'<infile>',InFilePath,true);

      StringChangeEx(temp,'<outfile>',OutFilePath,true);

      Cmd := '"' + Exec + '" ' + temp;

      SaveStringToFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\bat\rest'+inttostr(i)+'.bat'),Cmd,False);

      i := i + 1;

      temp := '';

    end;

    if delDest then

      setArrayLength(Str,3)

    else

      setArrayLength(Str,2);

    Str[0] := 'title Restoring File';

    Str[1] := 'dir /b *rest*bat | "' + ExpandConstant('{tmp}\ppx2.exe') + '" -I {} -P %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% -L 1 "{}"';

    if deldest then

      Str[3] := 'del /q /s  ' + inFiles ;

    SaveStringsToFile(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Bat\Cmd_Master.bat'),Str,false);

    MsgBox('Wainting',mbInformation,mrOk);

    ExecError := not ISExec( 0, 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\bat\Cmd_Master.bat'), '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}'), 'Restoring Files..',false) ; // Launches Batch File

    deltree(ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Bat'),true,true,true);

  #endif

  ISFindFree(FindHandle1);

  Result := ExecError;

end;

it's saints row the third'

Repackers used password on their archives so that no one can use their compressed archives for Pirating. And there's no such way of getting the password but u can brute force it. And the better option is to repack game by yourself and then use your own installer. :)

Just a query(needed for a work) Is compression of srep 1.5(Yes, 1.5, no other version) superior than latest rep?

no. but it can be made equivalent to modern -m4 which is very close to maximum compression provided by the -m5

But what's meant by "it can be made"?

i been using srep with m5f -l16 -c8 -a1 it help with 4x4:lzma:a1:mfbt4:d1m:fb273:mc10000:lc8,
but when try to use lzma:a1:mfbt4:d1024m:fb273:mc10000:lc8 i get almost the same ratio but when i change srep to m3f -l512 -c256 -a1 and use lzma:a1:mfbt4:d1024m:fb273:mc10000:lc8 i get better ratio in the end...
what the best setting for srep to use with 4x4:lzma:a1:mfbt4:dm:fb273:mc10000:lc8

Can you please explain?

Bulat

02-07-2017 20:57

i was wrong. i mean that part of history:

Quote:

-m2 -lN now is the same as -m3 -lN -cN: compression ratio is average between -m1 and -m3, while speed is the same as in old versions

so you can improve -m2 -lN method in srep 2.0 by using -m3 -lN -cN instead

Hi guys, i'm testing xz 5.2.1 and i'm having a hard time in making it work with freearc. I'm using these parameters:

Code:

[External compressor:xz]

packcmd   = xz.exe -9 -v -c <stdin> <stdout>

unpackcmd = xz.exe -d -c <stdin> <stdout>

It achieves 99~100% but at the end shows this error:

Code:

ERROR: general (de)compression error in xz

Any clues?
