pzlib can't be used to compress all games, you must have to play with new settings new compressors, precompressors, filters etc etc

pZLib
Pre-ZLIB (pzlib)

This program detects and unpack zlib streams for a certain input (like precomp)
giving you an option to apply a stronger compression such as LZMA.

This only detects zlib streams compressed using default and maximum level
which have headers. (It doesn't detect headerless)

Usage:
pZLib encode/decode [options] inputfile -o outputfile
inputfile/outputfile can be specified as "-" for stdin/stdout

Options:
-t#: Number of threads to use (maximum = 8 )
-t#p: (default = 50) Percentage of threads to use
-v: Verification so that restoration keeps CRC the same
-ai: Prints out additional information

Note:
Input and/or Output can be "-" to signal stdin and/or stdout usage.
Multi threading only works during restoration.
Freearc usage example included

Example:
pzlib encode $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
