Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

[KaktoR]

You can save even more space by using an actual codec for unity plugin and the correct lz4 library.



Tick verbose mode and set up unity plugin without any level settings. This way you can see what level you should use. Nowadays unity bundle assets using lz4hc with level 12 mostly.

You can use oggre on uexp files inside language folders.

Edit: Could even be possible to use oggre directly on pak file since oggs vorbis files are just stored in pak file without compression.

Just extract the OGG files, then put it back.

Without extracting the files, you might even get an error about OGGRE.

At least one of the ogg files for which oggre has problems. I am not in the mood to test over 30k files.

000000001FD1C4DB.ogg

Edit: At least 5 files are broken. For one more file oggre just crash without any error message. Good luck.

Is the variant cls-ttgd:game=62+XTool better/faster than cls-ttgd:game=62:r
There is recompression option in filter. And also supports for external zlib.dll

Has anyone watched RPF in RDR1? They seem to have LZ4 in them

Do you have a second sample? There seems no lz4, but encryption
