As the output says, stream does not contain LZO compressed blocks(that uelr recognize). You need to apply this to only known Unreal LZO files that uelr can surely process.

Game Finding Paradise contain .ogg files that crash OGGRE, either already during compression or later in decompression. This one for example:
Attachment 21035
crash during decompression test. So tool is still buggy, use with caution.
EDIT: Here is the cmd output:

Code:

D:\Downloads\lz_scan>OGGRE_enc.exe 008-System08.ogg 008-System08.ogg.cmp

OGGRE v0.1.1

ogg_dedup.duplicates_size = 0kb

ogg_dedup.dedup_buf_size = 0kb

frames_dedup.duplicates_size = 0kb

frames_dedup.dedup_buf_size = 0kb

Already got the answer but thanks anyway.

....

Also, now that I tested it correctly it seems to work fine.

Another question though, regarding lolz...

is there any way to prevent it from output all those numbers on the CMD console while it compressing? (See Attached Image)

I'm trying to have a clean compression script that only display minimal output and display progress in title bar.

My Command is something like that:

Code:

Arc.exe a -ep1 -r -ed -s; -w"PathTotemp" -dp"PathToGameFolder" -mlolz "H:\Temp\Test.bin" "*" >nul

if I Remove the >nul at the end it display all the lolz information and appears to be showing normal progress instead of those numbers but I need the >nul to be there.

My lolz Arc.ini entry:

Code:

[External compressor:lolz]

header = 0

packcmd = lolz\lolz_x64.exe {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

I don't really understand the different options in lolz, so any ideas will be appreciated.

use lolz a7.
best setting for lolz with pc 16gb ram and 8 thread cpu...
memory during compression 12.5gb...
for decompression it recommended 2 thread with pzlib...
with uler or afr 4 thread for lolz...

Tried that since, same result, it seems to need some kind of patch that I have no idea how to make.

setting for oggre thank to Mickey1s from krinkels...

usage: oggre_enc.exe [-sX] [-dd] [-df] [-ds] infile outfile
-sX - set books statistic buffer size, X = [0;3].
-dd - disable ogg deduplication
-df - disable setup frame deduplication
-ds - disable solid mode

how much compression ratio u lose when using multithreading in lolz

Alternatively, using this cls for compression will make it show nothing in the console window

I'll try that

UPDATE: It actually works, finally a way to use lolz while keeping my cmd window clean and clear of clutter.

Any of them supports stdin/out?

It seems bpk has a problem with wildcards, so you can't just write *.bk2. BPK will find nothing.

List all bk2 in directory instead and make freearc reads from list file.

Edit:
Ok, even read from list file doesn't work

Edit 2:
Same with bik files.

I've found out what's the problem with bpk..

arc.exe has to be next to bink_pack.exe and cls-bpk.dll (same folder)

Ok I can confirm problem with bpk cls, use exe's, some types of bk2 give error on packing, however exe's without cls/dll work. Adding another reason to my list of cls's dislike... :)
EDIT: And also, some bk2's are not packed remaining at same size + 1 byte. But exe's can at least process them without error.
