Actually, my repack is about 50mb smaller due to Setup.exe (I've used my own conversion), so 24.75 GB to be exactly.

I repacked it directly from steam 3 months ago

@kaktor ah well regardless both are good ratios and deserve points and yeah i use a razor wpi installer i modified so its extra

3 methods on most games i repack..
because i use 3 data files to seperate content.
it helps avoid crc check errors.
and target specific files..
besides i suck at making masks..lol

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 1,2 and 3 only
Repack type: Extract and Rebuild
Basically it restores .wav from .ogg and rebuilds folders to .iwd files
.ff files = Precomp+whatever you want
.bik files = binkpack
.iwd files = same as above
.iwd sound files = oggenc(below)
Rip Multiplayer = see below
eg. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Ripped Multiplayer
11.9 GB = 5.85 GB

For audio its a batch process, Use 7z to extract .iwd files with sound files in it. Start from bottom to top. Then compress .wav files and later delete them, but before deleting make sure there are as many .ogg files as there are .wav files. If there are for eg. 100 ogg files but 102 wav files it means oggenc wasn't able to compress 2 files, so you have to manually check in each iwd folder for these 2 files and make sure you don't delete them. Now copy zip.exe to "main" folder where other iwd files are located and oggdec in game folder. Create a batch files using notepad and type the below code

This ones for Decompressing . ogg to .wav, you can also use this code to compress .wav files.
for /R main %%i in (*.ogg) do oggdec.exe -Q "%%i"

This one to only delete files with same extension like .ogg
del /f /q /s engine\*.ogg >nul

After restoring the wav files, this code will compress the folder back to .iwd file, just replace iw_15 to the files you extracted, and you have to copy the entire code below for each .iwd file you restore, and after restoration this code will automatically delete the folder as well
cd iw_15
..\zip a -tzip -r iw_15.iwd -mx1
move iw_15.iwd ..
cd ..
del /f /q /s iw_15\*.*
rd /q /s iw_15

Now after putting the batch file, oggdec and zip.exe
To delete multiplayer Go in Zone folder and delete every file with _mp, _mp_ etc. but be careful and double check everytime, also you can delete mp audio files, in extracted iwd folders check for folder mp and delete it, thats it.

Have Fun.

darkwolves 21-03-2018 07:11

@hos11 do you know what kind of streams it has?
i personally do not own it
Razor made a file scanner if i took a stab in the dark i would say it uses zlib
but you need to know what streams it has before anyone can help you...
or if someone who has repacked it happens to see this

below is the link to Razors file scanner so you can scan it yourself
then you may be able get some help

i attatched a file for pzlib3 try adding it to your setup and try the following method
pzlib3+srep:m3f:l128:a1+lolz:dt1:dtp1:dto1:dtm1:dt w1:dtd1:mtt0:mt#d64m:tt4 h14:fba4096:mc1023:bc8:blr8:bm

were it says # above change that number to your desire dependant on the amount of threads(cores) you have.. pzlib3 gets a better ratio its pretty much on par with precomp0.38 but faster

pzlib3 credit goes to Razor12911

darkwolves 21-03-2018 08:11

@hos11 ah i see you use freearc i do not i use my own compressor based off pankers masked compressor i learned how to make it from his
one thing i do know if you mix lolz with lzma on the same thing it can have a negative effect i would only use lolz they could be interfereing with eachother

So lets prevent spamming the forum with those threads and keep all of the questions and answers in one place, it will be easier for everyone.

So please share your best compression methods here for specific games, or if you want to know what is the best compression for a particular game please ask here.

Thank you!
