Thanks for the detailed reply!
I've basically got cls-reflate working now by using the command-
Code:
arc create -mreflate archive inputfile
Similarly, I've also downloaded and installed cls-srep for Freearc as well. So the command for srep is -
Code:
arc create -msrep archive inputfile
As for the sample batch script, that is a little over my head at the moment!
As of now, by experimenting with different (pre)compressors, the best compression for *.png files seems to be by using -
Precomp V0.4.7 (-cn -brute options), and then using lolz V22c4b (-d128 -mc1023 options).
The test file
common_game_04.png at 113 kB is compressed to 90 kB. Not too bad, but I would like better compression if possible.
As for the *.ogg files, they are proving to be extremely difficult to compress much further!
EDIT: I've got the
common_game_04.png file compressed down to 77 kB by using Precomp and then using fp8 V6 at maximum compression (-8 option).
And by using paq8px V183fix1 (-9beta options) instead of fp8 V6,
common_game_04.png is now compressed to 72 kB, but this compression process is VERY SLOW!
