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

[K4miKaZe]

Hi, im compressing these days all of my AC Games and this one is not on the list so i want to share it with you.

First off, this game doesnt work with binkpack on the bk2 files (there are also bik files that are working) so here you have two options, not compressing them or use my same method.

1. Convert all bk2 files to bik with Rad Tools, on the compression tab change only the compression level % to 80, let all other settings by default. This will give you a similar output size. After that delete all bk2 files and rename the created bik files to bk2 (change their extension). Be careful to not modify the original bik files, there is no need to touch them.

2. Now you can use the following MASK method to compress the game without problem:

MASK:srep:m3f+LL2/$binkpack=BPK/$anvilpack=afr+srep:m3f+LL2

Srep is v3.9.2, LL2 is equal to: lolz:mmt1:d64:mc1023 and the afr version is 0.1.9 by edison007

Original Size: 17.1GB (One lang)
Repacked Size: 4.7GB (One lang)

Compression time: 2 Hours & Decompression/Installation time: 5-6 minutes on 4 Cores/3.9GHz + 8GB Ram + SSD and 8 minutes on Dual Core 3.2GHz + 8GB Ram + HDD

CRC tested after installation and its working fine.If you dont touch the video files the total size will be around 5GB.If you want to add all languages it will be around 6GB (not tested myself)

Edit: And sorry for my bad english, if there is something wrong feel free to correct me.
