If yes ,how ?
I really dont understant the 4x4 parameters. 4x4:b128mb....
What is b128mb and depends on what ?
TIA....

You can't.

The size of the block of packed data.

[ZakirAhmad]

is it possible with cls of srep provided by profrager to avoid creating temp files on disk.
i guess no one seems interesting in posting reply.

I already used it on few games(not wise yet only ogg), it work fine and save up to 10%. I say dont worry and use it everywhere you can.

Its not showing percentage, also the output is 0 byte size, any idea whats d issue here?
i tried with .bik files and it proved successful

I also tried on bk2 before and it worked fine. Try command tools instead of cls.


Btw regarding dlz and lolz, I recommend using them only on .dds files. Thats where they are specialized. Even in .dds files gain was questionable vs speed, saving ~1gb(or ~10%) with added ~2-3h+ of compression. Meh, internal FA's LZMA with lc8 is often more rational option. We simply hit the wall with LZMA where any more % gain add logarithmic scale of time wasted(and power).

how can we use oggre?

You can tell me on which files apply oggre_wwise? How to detect wwise audio?

@ZakirAhmad:

[External compressor:oggre]
header = 0
packcmd = OGGRE_enc $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

I don't know if stdin/out is compatible. You can test it.

Use oggre only. With lzma it is just a few MB, so not worth it after oggre.

BTW did u known the games on which oogre can be applied.

I saw games before with such file extension, .wise/.wwise or something like that. You will know when you see them.

[danswano]

does UELR work with unreal engine 4 or just 3?

[KaktoR]

^On all *.ogg files obviously. Maybe game archive that contain OGG files too, but have not tested yet.

[78372]

As profrager described, this is how to use oggenc_wwise:
wwise files are ogg files without headers. You need to ww2ogg to convert those ww files to ogg. Then apply oggenc_wwise. For decompression, the wwise dec will restore them to ww files(not ogg files). You may need to create a batch file to automate compression process.


For normal ogg files, just use oggenc

UELR have a "l" option that supposedly process "only lossless recoverable blocks". To me this sound important as if without it recompression would not be 1:1 crc exact? But I see nobody use this option as mandatory. Does anyone have better insight into this?

[KaktoR]

Last time i checked it had no effect on crc (i used without -l option).

[ZakirAhmad]

i tried bpk on bk2 files of ac unity. it is not compresessing them showing motion video.
