Thank You mausschieber

depends on what you have your MMC set to, check config0.txt in resource subfolder of UA.

with srep+lzma (Diskspan) I got 9 DVD5s. (just 300mb compressed)
if there is a good compression method and you've tested it, please tell us.

How should I use it with UltraArc or Diskspan?

KaktoR

Try with choice 7 (_DiskSpan.bat)

Arc.exe: user error (Unsupported compression method or error in parameters: xZlib)
The system cannot find the file specified.

thanks. now I have 12 options.

Code:

[0] No Compression

[1] SREP + LZMA

[2] SREP + 4x4:LZMA

[3] SREP + LZMA2

[4] SREP + LOLZ

[5] SREP + ZSTD

[6] BPK + SREP + 4x4:LZMA

[7] xZLib + SREP + LZMA

[8] xLZ4 + SREP + LZMA

[9] xLZO + SREP + LZMA

[10] xZSTD + SREP + LZMA

[11] xOodle + SREP + LZMA

[12] xCrilayla + SREP + LZMA

which one is xtool?

is there a topic where I can find a good explanation for these methods and their differences?

Check game files what streams they use to compress the game. Most probably it's zlib, so use option 7. If size will be increase then it's good.

03-10-2018 11:13

Again this error with option 7

Arc.exe: user error (Unsupported compression method or error in parameters: xZlib)
The system cannot find the file specified.

Go to Resources folder, open FA.ini, search for

Code:

xZ1 = xZlib

replace with this

Code:

xZ1 = xZLib

Do the same with config0.inf (if it's still wrong there).

zirkhaki

03-10-2018 11:45

ok. Now the compression started. I'll report if this method compress more.

Go to Resources\Config0.inf and search for [External compressor:srep]

Change: packcmd = _CLS\SuperREP -a0/0 -s250000000000 {options} <stdin> - Output

to: packcmd = _CLS\SuperREP {options} Input Output

You can just use ; to enable or disable the options.

This error always happens to me when i try to compress in a PC with 4GB of RAM or less.

EDIT

Thanks to Simorq btw about this tip.

Conversion and installation done with xZLib + SREP + LZMA (Diskspan Kaktor batch file).

Result is 7 DVD5s and installation time is 1 hour.
