PZlib (Alternative to Precomp)

[Gupta]

i don't understand what is the whole point of having another variant, its just a waste of testing time
about speed, i will rather prefer stability

i mean you already have ztool,pzlibv3, reflate,precomp
posting another scoped variant just create headaches for novices, others will never bother download this even,
of course, in respect to razor's work, it just adds a unworking program to his name, headaches for novices

While you prefer stability others do prefer speed ,btw ztool doesnt give same ratio as pzlib do.
If he continues to work on it , it will be an improved version of pzlib.

I meant the contrary it has worst ratio
I tried few times with mutliple games pzlib and ztool
pzlib gave better ratio , weird

No, ZTool gave better ratio at every game file I have tested, that's why Razor12911 made it private.
Unlike pZLib the parameter "-x" is not for the ultimate settings in ZTool. To gain the best ratio from ZTool the parameter is different. And ZTool is also Faster & more stable than pZLib.

Ohh i didnt test it with ultimate settings parameter , i know it is really faster and stable.

hi guys. i am using razor12911's IC 3020 UA2008R2 modification, and i am having some problems with pzlib. the game i am trying to compress, syberia 1, has zlib streams inside the cmo folder in the root folder of the installed game, but when i try to install my repack after using pzlib on the folder with the zlib streams, the data/cmo folder, i keep getting a 'unarc returned an error error code -11 decompression fails - archive is corrupted' error and i know it has zlib streams because i scanned the folder with zlib checker. any ideas whats going on?

the cmo folder is only 95 mb but i want to get the hang of using pzlib.
please post back, i am frustrated and dont know why its not working.
ive tried using pzlib by itself which results in a larger file and pzlib with lzma both using UltraArc 2800 R2 and get the error code -11 with the second attempt.
any feedback will really help. thanks.

Do ya know why ztool gives more ratio than pzlib?
Because ztool uses reflate libs even when detecting zlib streams(m1)

A week ago I tested with a 1GB file from jc2. pZlib 1350 gave 2.13GB and ztool gave 2.2GB.
Ofc pzlib 1350 was faster, while giving a smaller ratio.The 2.2GB file became 610mb after processing by srep, and 2.13GB by pzlib became 536mb. So it's proved that ztool uses reflate, which causes better ratio.

Did you update pzlib 1350 ?
I had decompression errors with 17 gb files
