Conversion Quick Archive Packer

[Razor12911]

Compressor v1.2 doesn't support that just yet. But I am working on an update for it, only thing remaining to fix in the upcoming version is precomp and srep problems otherwise, it is finished.

thanks for this Freearc Archive Packer. very useful and time saving

Tell me some good method to compress game, M not familiar with method.
I want to compress my games to Medium.

For example Hitman Absolution size 24.3 gb to 11 gb (Steam Version)
When i downloaded this game from steam, it just downloaded only 11 gb and final size was 24.3 gig.
So i think this tool can easily compress this game to 11 gb.
Pls tell me some best method. I don't want to create damaged or faulty archive files.

Thanks for this Awesome Tool.

One of the Best Methods to Compress a Game external is -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8

For Hitman Absolution, using this Tool, Split up the Install Folder to more Folders.
Then Compress them, Put them together to create DVD 5 or DVD9 Output, Define them with any Designer or your own script.

PS: Hitman Absolution is also good to Compress with Internal Compression (lzma2/Ultra64) but the Install Time is much longer than srep compression.

But think on, not every Game can be Compressed to smaller Output than the Game Itself. Crysis Series or Prototype 1,2 isn't good too Compress. Use here -m0 or other fast Compression Methods.

Lol, Seriously have to upload compressor v2, no feedback from testers except from pakrat2k2, which I fixed. This thing of sorting out files really sucks, v2 will take care of that.

Exist any way to use rar5 for compressing files?

[gww]

Compressor V2 Works!

Unfortunately, I don't know how to make a code create process about.
I mean to run arc.exe!

Really bro, you had to post here? Send PM.

Hi,

I have been using v1.2.0 of your compressor with an edited version of the Black Box Script By Kurutucu V1.8. The compressed files have been working very well but I would like to start using your compressor v2. Your compressor has been creating bin files with no issue but they are not compatible with the compiled exe. I have put this down to arc.ini and inno setup script needing amendments.

The arc.ini used in inno setup was:


[External compressorrecomp]
header = 0
packcmd = precomp -intense0 -c- {options} -o$$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = precomp -o$$arcdatafile$$.tmp -r $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

[External compressor:srep]
header = 0
packcmd = srep {options} -m3f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep -d -s $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

[External compressor:srep64]
header = 0
packcmd = srep64 {options} -m3f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep64 -d -s $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

[External compressor:lzma64]

header = 0

packcmd = FreeArc-LZMA-x64 e lzma{ption} <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = FreeArc-LZMA-x64 d lzma{ption} <stdin> <stdout>


But I assume this now needs to be like config2.txt in you compressor resource folder:


[External compressorrecomp]
header = 0
packcmd = precomp -intense0 -c- {options} -o$$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = precomp -o$$arcdatafile$$.tmp -r $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

[External compressor:srep]
header = 0
packcmd = srep {options} -m3f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep -d -s $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

[External compressor:srep64]
header = 0
packcmd = srep64 {options} -m3f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep64 -d -s $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

[External compressor:lzma64]

header = 0

packcmd = FreeArc-LZMA-x64 e lzma{ption} <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = FreeArc-LZMA-x64 d lzma{ption} <stdin> <stdout>

The Inno setup script was:

#if PrecompVer == "Inside"
//ExtractTemporaryFile('CLS-precomp.dll');
//ExtractTemporaryFile('CLS-MSC.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('CLS-srep.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('precomp.exe');
#endif
#endif
ExtractTemporaryFile('arc.ini');
ExtractTemporaryFile('facompress.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('facompress_mt.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('XDelta3.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('7z.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('PackZIP.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('english.ini');
ExtractTemporaryFile('FreeArc-LZMA-x64.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('srep.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('srep64.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('unarc.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('packjpg_dll.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('packjpg_dll1.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('zlib1.dll');

But I assume it needs to be edited to take into account what files your compressor is now using,
(Removed serep.exe & 'FreeArc-LZMA-x64.exe. Added lzma32.exe, lzma32.exe, pack_BMF.exe, pack_BMF.exe, pack_TAK.exe)

#if PrecompVer == "Inside"
//ExtractTemporaryFile('CLS-precomp.dll');
//ExtractTemporaryFile('CLS-MSC.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('CLS-srep.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('precomp.exe');
#endif
#endif
ExtractTemporaryFile('arc.ini');
ExtractTemporaryFile('facompress.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('facompress_mt.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('XDelta3.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('7z.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('PackZIP.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('english.ini');
ExtractTemporaryFile('lzma32.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('lzma64.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('srep32.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('srep64.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('pack_BMF.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('pack_FROG.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('pack_TAK.exe');
ExtractTemporaryFile('unarc.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('packjpg_dll.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('packjpg_dll1.dll');
ExtractTemporaryFile('zlib1.dll');


Any help you could give would be great. I would like to use v2 of your compressor as it has some interesting new features.

[Razor12911]

Just use the files in the isdone support folder. Use them with your bb script

[Gareth82]

Hi thanks for your reply.

Ao I just need to add pack_BMF.exe, pack_FROG.exe, pack_TAK.exe to the BB script as files to include?

Will the arc.ini not need to be amended then?
