No methods. *.tiger files encrypted,
PS. Decrypt tool from FitGirl's repack is private.

Bro, i tried but i cant find zlib streams , how to reduce size of. tiger file from 3.99 GB to 3.94 GB ... i applied decryptor tool and my tiger file has the same size of 3.99 GB

after using decryptor all decrypted files will be copied to decrpyted dir. These file you can compress with the method I shared before

Make sure that you decrypted all .tiger files. The ready .bat file may not decrypt all files, I decrypted a few files manually by adding them myself.

i have replaced decrypted files with original ones launched the game, works well.

here is the test on small .tiger file:

FreeArc 0.67 (December 12 2012) Creating archive: ..\data1.bin using xzlib+srep+lolz
Memory for compression 0b, decompression 0b, cache 1mb
Compressing 1 file, 320,058,596 bytes. Processed  10%
Compressing 616,737,483 bytes with srep -m3f -a16 -d1g  $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
SREP 3.93a beta (October 11, 2014): input size 588 mb, memory used 1368 mb, -m3f -l512 -c512 -a16/16 -hash=vmac -b8mb -d1gb:h256mb:l512:c64
   
100%: 616,737,483 -> 205,956,854: 33.39%.  Cpu 152 mb/s (3.859 sec), real 239 mb/s (2.457 sec) = 157%.  Remains 00:00   
Decompression memory is 29 mb.  270,959 matches = 4,335,344 bytes = 2.10% of file

Compressing 205,957,670 bytes with lolz_x64.exe -mtt1 -tt1 -mc2 -mt6  $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

Compressed 1 file, 320,058,596 => 43,828,172 bytes. Ratio 13.6%
Compression time: cpu 0.55 secs, real 136.11 secs. Speed 2,351 kB/s
All OK

i will use xtool 2019 with this command.

xprecomp:zlib+srep+lolz

upd. i will share final guide here after the completing compression and testing.

[External compressor:xprecomp]
header    = 0
packcmd   = xtool.exe e:precomp:c512mb,t4:{option} - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe d:precomp:t90p - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:srep]
header = 0
packcmd   = srep -m3f {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep -d -mem2048mb - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:lolz]
header = 0
packcmd = lolz_x64.exe -mtt1 -tt1 -mc2 -mt6 -d32 {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = lolz_x64.exe $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

Compressed 15 files, 58,888,670,546 => 35,103,695,218 bytes. Ratio 59.6%

Bro, my game crash after a while playing with decrypted files. Check him
