I dont know why people who lack basic navigation skills, thinking, orientation and computer knowledge try to dwell into such difficult subjects as advanced (pre)compression. Whats next, guy trying to code its own precompressor asking how to use compiler/Windows?

This was mentioned 1000 times before in this forum. From now on just ignore

GTA IV: The Complete Edition

Masks:
$zlib
*.img
$bik
*bik

Method: srep+lzma/$zlib=srep+pzlib+srep+lzma/$bik=srep


Here I used srep+pzlib+srep+lzma for zlib because there are many same img files in complete edition, and using srep before pzlib significantly reduces compression time.

Game Size: 30.9GB(approx)
Final Size: 16.4GB(approx)

[Chayan Manna]

Crysis 2 Maximum Edition:
From 9.19 GB ->> 6.27 GB
Used Method: pZLib+Srep+delta+lzma
Parameter: pzlib+srep:m3f:l256+delta+lzma:512mb:normal:bt4:27 3:mc1000:lc8

The latest version of pZLib is used with latest reflate libs.

Someone who uses is recognizing the potential of masked methods.
Have you tried to use nanozip or razor compressors in the "void" mask? Or in your case "/$bik".

This is interesting, I thought "dedup" methods are for this purpose? Also, how come this does not disturb data and headers making pzlib not applicable?

This war of mine fading embers (with September update)

Method-

xtool(zlib):c128m:t2+srep:m3f:a2+lolz:dtb1:mtt1:mt 2:d192m:mc1023

Compression time: 2h ±11min
Decompression time: 2min
Final size : 3.11GB
After packed: 2.19GB

###if only 128kbps left in OsT folder and some unnecessary common redist files have been removed than it will save about more 400MB and than the final size would be around 1.75GB.

CrC ok and hashsum ok
