Size: 139 MB >> 514 MB

However since this is a new one (utoc v05) it could even be the case that you have to use a library from oodle sdk (623kb, v2.9.10, this one) for the ucas files. But I don't have a sample so I cannot test. But yeah mermaid is there too in the ucas files so use mermaid+kraken.

Sorry if I'm joining the discussion. So what is the right compression method for this game? Is the compression method used by ScOOt3r correct? Thank you

Utoc: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1yhx...ew?usp=sharing
Ucas: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15Ui...ew?usp=sharing
Thank you

Use this method
xtool:mkraken:8:dd3+LOLZ_NORMAL

I followed your compress method but the final result was 47 gb maybe you know what's wrong with my compression method? I use the compress method: xtool:mkraken:mmermaid:dd3+LZMA-MT

Bro, what about set a library to use?

sorry, I don't know which library to use. Can you tell me the correct compression method or which library I should use? Thank you

[ScOOt3r]

I did use oo2core_7_win64.dll forgot to mention this above.

Cutted 200mb from the ucas file

Version 0.8.5

Streams: 13802 / 13803
Time: 00:01:01 (CPU 00:04:10)

Size: 200 MB >> 477 MB

Done!!!

Streams: 14052 / 14052
Time: 00:00:41 (CPU 00:02:33)

Size: 200 MB >> 488 MB

Done!!!

Second is with xtl database made with unreal engine database maker 0.8.1 (key=kraken).

Decompression test for Lies of P

*.pak

38 gb > 73 gb
ue4d by Shegorat + xtool v0.85 + zlib (without reflate because decompression errors).
-d1 for xtool parameter is required

Use preflate then

For which reason did you use "ue4d"? Also if the game looks encrypted the decryption tool is not needed, I tried directly with zlib+reflate and works.

I already told what library to use. Heck I even did a test which you had quoted.

Anonymous;Code help

I applied Precomp+Srep+Lolz on the whole thing and I got a ratio of 93.3%. I have tried it on individual file types as well and can't figure this out. The two main file types that are taking up space are .bin and .mzv. Any ideas on what I could use for this game?
