ONLY WARNING !!!
I removed any mention of WAREZ, this means group names, game versions etc.

you not only broke those rules you also posted a direct link to warez site, which is
not wanted in the first place.

Do NOT post anything like this in the future.! Just ask your question.

Did someone tried using the unpacking/modding tools from RE7 on RE2R? I have made my own RE7 Gold repack into the 20gb (i think 20.1 or something), without it it would be 4-5gb bigger. Probably on RE2 you can apply the same method before using Xtool on it, at least i have already seen today some Mods for RE2, pretty sure there is already a way to unpack those .pak files.

@Masen485: You should already know after so much months here that this is not permitted

i also repacked re7 gold edition it isn't encrypted so you can easily extract it
but anytime i go to extract re2 remake it will not allow me giving me a error its encrypted i am currently looking for something i can use for it as well

with lolz:mtt0:d384:mtb196:fba4096:dtb1:mc1023:gm20:pc4 :x2:ldl5 is the best setting for small games.
*note that ldmf work with mt1 only so no mt2 :eek:

Tested with that settings, result is 360MB and it took several hours :(
Difference is just 4MB with razor and that was a lot faster.
Seems lolz isn't good for this particular game.

Let me know if you find something, i think there is something out, have seen some reworked textures yesterday so somehow they already managed to unpack them. Bit busy with other things but i will also take a look on this weekend. Not just for compressing the game, also taking a look how mod friendly this game could be.

What makes me angry about lolz is that there is no logic of use in its options, too many built-in options, and testing it thoroughly I realize that using different options in most cases there is no difference in Compression Time and Compression Ratio.
It is the only compressor that unnerve me by using it, but I've already abandoned it for some time.

you can use msc on audio files to improve ratio...

Confusing compressor indeed. Currently only 4x4:t2:lzma:16mb:lc8 is the thing that works best for my shitty pc. It's fast and compression ratio is almost same as other lzma settings(2-4mb difference). Though only 16mb dictionary is used here, it actually beats 64/128/512mb dict in a lot of cases.

Good idea. I wonder why didn't I think of that? :confused:

Or you can just pack the files back into their original archive during installation. I have made Resident Evil 2 Repack (Eng Only, Except Useless Videos), size = 14.3 GB. Its not really a good idea to play with unpacked files = slow loading times.
