You probably have to use reflate for that game.

Also, you can try out Razors reflate for compression

I'll try the first one! but the Razor Reflate has the limit of compressing upto 1 or 2 GB at a time! i don't wanna make many data file :P

early reflate (the one using rawrest) had 8 Hex format so the max capacity could be 4 GB, though me and razor are working on a beta edition for now reflate which can blend into and see much more than just a plain 1 2 or even 4 GB

I think the video wass reduced by corepack. and they used reflate for some of the Archives on CMD
and used precomp for some of them.

All of the archives were done the same....With Reflate & .raw precomp.....Also, only a video of 100 MB was removed that too the credits one which is available as patch....

We didn't use Reflate to repack this game and quality wasn't compromised in any way. Only a 100 MB intro video was removed for which a patch is available.

That's not true, reflate works on almost every arc's which have deflate streams, for example game0 and game2 will not expand because they have mostly video and sound files, I tried it myself. Reflate expanded the game files to 58 or 60 GB, I don't remember the exact size now.

i'm working in a very stupid idea.
tgen.exe generate a file with random bytes and with entropy.

so the idea is tgen.exe generate a similar file with 80 or 90% of the original game file, and then apply xdelta.
example:
original game file: 10mb
so tgen generate : 10mb
and then compare the original with tgen file with xdelta and generate the patch.
yeah is very stupid idea, but if some program can create from nothing a file with 80 or 90 % of the original file and then we can patch the tgen with xdelta file would be amazing.

original game file: 10mb
so tgen generate : 10mb
patch file: 50kb

so imagine a entire game file compressed in 100 mb patched.

PD: ok and now i go to sleep.
