Helping thread :)

So guys I just registered to this community, but I am a old visitor and old member on encode.ru. I made this thread because as I seen many people spamming the forum for every game, so everything related to compression or decompression will be answered here :)

It's useless if you ask me, we been making many threads for asking questions, even some sticky threads for those but people will start new threads, even asking questions for stuff that has been already asked before.

What do you mean they lost one? they lost all of them.
Just kidding :D, but they make you wonder sometimes.

Edit - Currently learning more new things from Shelwien, he is a nice guy too and my old friend.

Ok you and Shelwien are old friends, I got a question then.
Where is he from because it doesn't seem like he is from this planet?

Yeah..Whenever we ask him how he's so good, he tells someone else's name and say he rarely does the thing...Leaving us with the question, "Is he from future or something? -_-"

Anyways, welcome to the forum matey ^_^

Razor bro, had a conflict with Val and blah blah stuff, so am gone....So don't worry.. ;)

I see more normal opening a thread to call for help, although the answers may already be given in other threads, that the new user who opens a new thread just to chat, so there a dedicated section here....http://www.fileforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=29;)

Welcome MAK and thanks for made this thread!.
i have a question.
Some files in games have 98% or 99% of entropy like media or compressed data.
sometimes this data are packed and imposible to extract and rebuild without any errors.
So just for save time, there is any way to sort those files with 98% or 99% of entropy in a list to use a store method of compresion.
I mean like a entropy detector or something like that?
i ask you this because we can easy detect media files by extension (ogg, bik, mp3) but in some cases this files are already packed, so extension doesn´t work here.
thanks

hmmm, whenever I get that type of files, then I firstly try Offzip by Luigi to see if their is any raw files or not on that specific files, if their is, then I try reflate with them or you can you precomp also after knowing the offzip location of streams ;) , and compress them, if not and you don't even get any rebuilder or extractor, then you could even give a try to zstd, sometime, its worth on these type files ;)

I was download smoke.exe by bulat. This tool can calculate the entropy and also have the source in c .
I need a script in batch to sort the files with 95% and 100% of entropy to txt file list.
This list of files is to using in arc.exe to storing.
So any ideas?

and i want to implement the compression with asc template. Please help me, what to do next??

Go to deployment>>Setup Resources and then click on add pzlib.exe and pzlib64.exe

and add your arc.ini also which you used for compression ;)

Mak I want to ask you what's ur opinion or ur experience of / about
lzma & xz (Lzma2) & 4x4:lzma which do you prefer to use for a good ratio & also good decompression speed
I also see most of the repackers doesn't use huge dictionary / lzma max settings !! However in most of the cases it won't help u much the difference will be couple of megabytes :)
can you explain more about lzma :)

Books are calling me... Talk to you later ;)

4x4:lzma vs xz
I think 4x4:lzma will be faster & better but in the end it costs more ram & cpu :)

Matey, there are varieties in every thing, look you could get better speed also, but in the cost of high CPU usuage, but I normally prefer xz, I don't say lzma is bad, but just I'll like xz speed and ratio with its normal CPU usage, am on mobile and couldn't tell you everything now.

IMOH, if u r planning to use things with freearc then go with fazip
this will give u better compression speed and u don't even need fazip.exe to decompress and even better compression speed many times

[External compressor:rep,lzma,4x4,delta,exe]

I just want to ask can i control the cpu usage of 4x4 ?? or even making it take less cpu & ram :( i can't add more than 120mb dictionary to it :( , any way to limit 4x4 ??

4x4 doesn't have dict option do you mean blocks options. 4x4:b1g:lzma

Recently i was compiled zlib_jo for test.
Compressing 1,208,218 bytes with precomp -intense0 -cn +srep+exe+delta+lzma = 1.105.920 bytes
Compressing 1,208,218 bytes with zlib_jo
+srep+exe+delta+lzma = 1.114.112 bytes
Compressing 1,208,218 bytes with 7zR\7zR.exe a -t7z -m0=reflate:x6 +srep+exe+delta+lzma = 1.019.904 bytes
Compressing 1,208,218 bytes with reflateMT.exe -process -c6 -t6 +srep+exe+delta+lzma = 692.224 bytes

so reflateMT is the best! Good work guys!

no i mean it take too much ram so that I can't add a larg dictionary because there is no much free ram :(

lzma:a1:mfbt4:d300m:fb128:mc999:lc8

4x4:lzma:a1:mfbt4:d100m:fb128:mc999:lc8

Matey, as I told you, Overall if you see by system usage and decompression speed, and multi threaded wise, then I vote for xz. ;) Its my opinion and way to see.

24-09-2016 02:13

if u going with xz then
i advise u left the Freearc and take 7zip route

yes u are right :D but if the dictionary won't effect so much i'll go with 4x4 :D

:confused: what's the problem. :confused:

ChronoCross

26-09-2016 12:15

i have this code:

Code:

[External compressor:pzstd]

header = 0

packcmd   = pzstd.exe $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp  {options}    

unpackcmd = pzstd.exe -d -f $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp -o $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

the thing is to use numbers of threads (-n 6) in arc.exe

Code:

-mpzstd:n 6:p:u:19

the code in arc.exe does not accept spaces and that`s is the problem because i need to write this option in arc.ini

Code:

[External compressor:pzstd]

header = 0

packcmd   = pzstd.exe $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp -n 6  {options}    

unpackcmd = pzstd.exe -d -f $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp -o $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

where i can get the source code only to chage this parameter -n (the space thing)

thanks

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Edited

Problem solved with quotation marks!

Code:

-mpzstd:"n 6":p:u:19

sorry for spend your time :o
