Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

KaktoR · #1 06-06-2020, 01:07

Command & Conquer Remastered Collection
Initial release

Code:

srep:m3f+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000
 0:12:06 - Starting Archive Creation. 
 0:57:16 - Archive Creation Complete. 

Input Size: 25.2 GB. 
Output Size: 17.25 GB.

You can use bpk but throws out some errors. I will test out more intensive.

Total start size: 29.7GB

Compress with the following:

Code:

srep:a2:m5f:l512+lolz:dt:dtb1:dtw1:dtm1:dto1:dtd1:mtt1:mt4:d64m:fba4096

Total packed size: 7.2GB

Note: The sound for this game comes in pck files, and GFS does detect WAV streams however MSC cannot process these files for some reason that I do not know. There's probably some way to unpack the wav streams and rebuild the files however I don't know how to do that.

It's may be no-header WAV, but most likely just vorbis-streams

Note: Exclude "MOVIES.MEG, MOVIES_RA.MEG, MOVIES_TD.MEG" from bpk compression. It will give you errors.
