or

[External compressor:plz4]
header = 0
packcmd = ZTool e:{compressor}:t25p:c64m{:option} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp <stdout>
unpackcmd = ZTool d:{compressor}{:option}:t90p:f:cm256mb - - <stdin> <stdout>


the top setting usually does the job but if it does not use the bottom setting

most people repacked the 33.7 one i got it when it first came out lol

[KaktoR]

Actually, my repack is about 50mb smaller due to Setup.exe (I've used my own conversion), so 24.75 GB to be exactly.

I repacked it directly from steam 3 months ago
