srep / srep64? help me

hello currently I use this method to compress my files

Code:

arc a -lc8 -ep1 -ed -r -hp1234 -w.\ C:\Games\TDF-Setup-1.bin -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "C:\Games\Tour de France 2021\*"

with the following arc.ini

Code:

[External compressor:srep]

;options  = l%d (minimal match length, default=512)

header = 0

packcmd   = srep {options} -a1 -m5f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

unpackcmd = srep -d $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp



[External compressor:precomp]

header = 0

packcmd   = precomp -slow {options} -o$$arcpackedfile$$.tmp  $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

unpackcmd = precomp -o$$arcdatafile$$.tmp -r $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

how to use srep64.exe? what should be changed?

I have trouble understanding and finding the information to do this ..

this seems logical I am stupid not to have thought about it .. and can I keep the 2 versions? in the arc.ini file? or should we change it to one or the other version?

This way yes...
You can also use srep32 or another name for the 32-bit version and keep only srep for the 64-bit version.

Code:

arc a -lc8 -ep1 -ed -r -hp1234 -w.\ C:\Games\TDF-Setup-1.bin -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "C:\Games\Tour de France 2021\*"



arc a -lc8 -ep1 -ed -r -hp1234 -w.\ C:\Games\TDF-Setup-1.bin -msrep64+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "C:\Games\Tour de France 2021\*"

Code:

[External compressor:srep]

header = 0

packcmd   = srep {options} -a1 -m5f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

unpackcmd = srep -d $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp



[External compressor:srep64]

header = 0

packcmd   = srep64 {options} -a1 -m5f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

unpackcmd = srep64 -d $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

Always remembering on the command line must use the name that is inside the section, such as [External compressor:srep].
The "srep" value in the packcmd= and unpackcmd= keys refers to the name of the executable used (You can use "srep.exe", with an extension if you prefer).

Piggybacking off the advice given by Cesar,

You can merge both your srep and srep64 methods into one packcmd providing the exes are in the same folder as arc.exe:

Code:

Code:



[External compressor:srep, srep64]

header = 0

packcmd   = {compressor} -a1 -m5f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

unpackcmd = {compressor} -d $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

Here, {compressor} constant holds the name of the compressor used, e.g. -msrep64 will give {compressor} the value of srep64.

Since FreeArc will look for .exe files by default, filling {compressor} with srep64 will have freearc look and successfully detect srep64.exe.

thanks to you two. I discovered your forum about 15 days ago while researching the codex installer, and then I am looking at a lot of posts in order to experiment and understand something that was unknown to me 15 days ago. i'm french, i work with google translator and it's not easy to understand everything. but little by little I'm getting there.

@fabrieunko, here on the forum there are several GUI programs for compression that can make your life easier.
I've listed some GUI for you to take a look at if you don't already know: DiskSpan GUI (by Cesar82), Mini Compressor AIO 2021 (by Carldric Clement), Knight Compressor (by bunti_o4u), UltraARC (by Razor129111), among others.
