Help! Garry's Mod Compressor
 

guys i garry's mod 15 with about 8GB of add on, I recommended a method for compression ultra ... I would like to combine nanozip other good compressors .. I see in forums that are very taken by the argument and I rely on you :p

I will not use InnoSetup but .bat

you will not use inno but bat ?? :P

go ahead and use my devastate mode on masked compression :)

wish you luck rinaldo :)

I try to compress Dirt Rally, Mad MAX , and like this games with
"arc.exe a -ep1 -dses --dirs -s; -lc- -ld- -di -i2 -r -mprecomp+srep:m3f:a1+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d200m:fb1 28:lc8" this parameter but , SREP says 3911(or similar size) mb memory required and went ERROR.

how can I compress bigger than 30 GB with Srep.
Srep parameters in "arc.ini" "packcmd = srep {options} -a1 -m3f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp"
Srep version 3.93a beta

do not use srep 3.93a

it has memory leak

and it crash endlessly especially on windows 10

this is verified bug :(

switch to 3.93 or 3.2 version and use 64 bit :)

I tried even "3.2 version" it is same.
but i used x86 versions.

I want to learn. for example I downloaded Dirt rally as a REPACK.
I looked it was used this parameter "precomp+srep:m3f:a1+lzma:69mb:normal:bt4:128: lc8"
and with "x86 version SREP" but I can't do the similar PACK.

Please help me. I updated all files of game and I want to REPACK again that.
and many game but I have failed.

hey Rinaldo try this : ;)

Either you switch to 64 bit version of srep or lower a couple of settings in x86.
You'll end up using - m3f -lc1024 -c1024 - a0, but switching to x64 is better.

when I use "-l1024 -c1024" parameters, what will change in compression.

because ,I tried compress it yesterday again, srep said "it can help to compress this file that "-ia- l64k" parameters".

if I use this in ARC.INI
"packcmd = srep {options} -a1 -m3f -ia- -l128k -c128k $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp" , is it problem?

panker1992 base file

1a)
1b)
file test = fallbacks_000.vpk __ mb 28,3

1a) 13,4 mb
1b) 13,5 mb

9 MB is good :D

Rock and Roll :p

hasandgn34, use SREP64 3.92 beta and clean TEMP files folder
what version of the OS?
how much RAM is installed?
available free space on the target disk?

arc.ini
[External compressor:srep]
header = 0
packcmd = srep64 {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

batch file
arc a -ep1 -ed -lc- -r -w.\ -mprecomp+srep:m3f:l512:c256:a4+delta+lzma:200mb:no rmal:bt4:128:lc8

Rinaldo did my method work ???

tho i saw that you only compressed one file :/

OS is Windows 8.1 x86 and x64 and RAM 8GB I have.
and I have free space for compression. that is not about these. the problem is about parameters or anything like this.
I haven't tried Srep64 yet. I have tried with Srep x86.

hasandng srep 64 is a must use program in these cases

reasons are first srep64 is natively faster due to architecture 20% faster

reason number 2 ) srep64 uses much larger ram pool
example given assassin creed syndicate and lords of the fallen can use 4 gigs of ram to compress

reason number 3 ) you can always use srep x86 to compress thus limiting ram factor when decompressing and support for old machines
decomp seed might get crippled but srep is fast either way

i hope i got everything covered up :)

thanks for answers I will use srep64

.vtx files are the files that I need to work out, the rest is less than 1GB and 350MB compressed .. are not relevant process also gmod ..
