@JustFun your work is impeccable, and the threads is an excellent source for the boys of the forum, and we all thank you, but personally I see him messed up in some points.
I'll give you an example you posted this:

OK then you write that you used a method, but you show the name of 3 pairs of internal compressors, how did you use them?
Did you use this method? "-mbpk+msc+srep+lolz" I do not think so.

Have you used a masked method of this type "-msrep+lolz/$wavloss=msc+srep/$bink=bpk+srep" for the game in question? Maybe.

You have scanned the data folder of the game, and you have created a list of files for each format, inserting the types of files in 3 different folders, a folder for the video formats, one for the audio formats and all the rest of the files in the last folder, in the end you have created an archive with this method "bpk+srep", a second archive with this "msc+srep", and everything else with the last method "srep+lolz" the third archive. Feasible but crazy.

I hope that the concept has been understood.

Not sure what is going on here but I found JustFun's post very logical and easy to understand what he did, I would of thought it was logical to everyone that he created 3 different archives, I really dont think any other information or layout was needed. Not really sure what all the fuss is about

Totally agree with that. I think there is absolutly nothing wrong on how JustFun has posted that games, it shows how he has done the compression, the game size, version, etc... I prefer this kind of posts more then others which you dont even know game version or the original size or if even something is ripped or not (that is important). And exact parameters doesnt really matter on such small games.

Oh, i know im a bit late but Happy New Year !!!

look my prev. message pls.
if you think that posts in 3 words with information how to compress is enough, then I have nothing more to say.

I will try to explain myself what i want to say. On really small games like that, the gain between the lolz or srep settings is so small that it isnt even worth, if 20-30mb are worth to you, then fine, do it yourself and post back the results here, im pretty sure many people will appreciate it.

If i see a post without exact parameters i will use the settings according to what i can use on my machine, so same way posting in "3 words" like you say, is also useless in posting a full method because not all people have 32gb ram, or 16gb, or 8gb. As JustFun said, some people prefer speed over size, this threat is not meant to beat WorldRecord sizes in compressions, its a thread for helpings, take it as a reference.

Every person is free to post on the way he wants, complaining about that is not nice. Just my opinion, dont take things to heart xD

Well well at this point, you all happy, it's OK for all, a detailed post, especially in this thread is something easy to understand and easy to interpret, especially for the "newbie". Mine was just a clarification.

At this point in the future post saving time, instead of structuring it this way :

Quote:

FARCRY 5

Inside 2 Language (English/Italian)

Mthd = (ZTool+srep64+Lzma2)

plzo:c64m:t4:st50p:ct4:b128kb+srep64:m5f:a2:d1g+lz ma2:d512m:fb=273:mf=bt4:mc=100000000:lc=4:lp=0

IN = 29.4 GB

Splitted in 3 Archive :

1) FC5_1.bin = 8,21 GB

2) FC5_2.bin = 9,64 GB

3) FC5_3.bin = 5,27 GB

Tot OUT = 23.1 GB

Tot Ratio = 78.5%

Time/Comp = 4h:20min

I structure it this way :

Quote:

FARCRY 5

Method = (ZTool+srep64+Lzma2)

I think it's more than enough for you all ...

Does using srep with lolz reduce the compression ratio?
