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:
