I noticed a bug after compiling that when you compress the output of brute, you get a very small output
Well it's a false output so it's just a waste of time if you want to see how much you could get if this
program as working. I was going to ask someone to try this program on Mad Max and maybe get size which
is less than 4GB in less than a day, unlike precomp (brute), this is faster though it achieves 0.2mb/s
on data without zlibs (tested on audio files) and can push up to 40mb/s or more on an input with
a lot of zlib streams (Well it is 0.2mb/s on my 9 year old Core 2 Extreme QX9650).

I already know that it doesn't work just as yet which is why I said just compare final size
with another zlib recompressor. (I edited zlib source to improve speed and that is what happened)
I get false data or repeated data making lzma compress the whole thing to a couple of kilos
and get 1% ratio which is false but working it though to be able to get correct data and make this work.


What to test in comparison with reflate:
The output size, since some people say "reflate" is the only recompressor that can detect "invalid" streams
and others can't, well you could try this program. Again, if an stream is invalid, its invalid, there is
nothing further you can do, but as I said detection and restoration are the only factors that separate these
zlib recompressors. (You know yourself)

You can also test on GTAV, I got expansion on one of the rpf files meaning it does work on GTAV as well.


What to test in comparison with precomp:
The output size and speed.

Files that you test on:
Make sure they do have zlib streams else you'll get 0.2mb/s. (brute scanning speed)

If you got Mad Max, run the program on the game, don't apply srep or lzma and those other things,
if you know what files reflate doesn't work on but precomp (brute) works, try running this.

A test on a benchmarking file that I always use to test everything is the UI.sb file and here are the results:
Input : 82.3MB
// Bigger is better
Brute (Test) : 421MB (Without verification)
Precomp + Reflate : 421MB (Evidence that reflate isn't really brute, it had to work with precomp to get that size)
Precomp (Brute) : 421MB (Probably, I had to cancel it, it takes long)
Precomp (Intense) : 373MB
Reflate (Gozarck) : 361MB
pZlib : 348MB

In terms of speed while working on a file (UI.sb):
Input : 82.3MB
Slowest to fastest:
pZlib : 348MB (6.39 seconds)
Brute (Test) : 421MB (47.70 seconds) //Quite slow but working on it.

Work of Razor12911 and Panker1992

Razor. if you build some 'cls_brute.dll' will work with ISDone for extract files.
