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

[L33THAK0R]

Compressing "Mad Max" with xzlib+srep+lolz gave me an output of 21.8gb (from 31.8gb), instead of the reported under 4gb compressions others were able to achieve! My arc.ini headers look like the following, any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Compression Methods]
CUSTOM     = xzlib+srep+lolz
LOLZ	   = lolz:dt:dtb1:dtw1:dtm1:dto1:dtd1:mtt1:mt4:d64m:fba4096:mc1023

[External compressor:xzlib]
header    = 0
packcmd   = "Resources\XT.exe" e:precomp:t50p,c128m:zlib $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

[External compressor:srep]
header     = 0
default    = -m3f
packcmd    = "Resources\srep_x64" {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

[External compressor:lolz]
header     = 0
packcmd    = "Resources\lolz_x64" {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

Since srep does the most work in removing dupes here, I think something maybe wrong there,

your xtool and lolz looks fine

Try this srep packcmd:

[External compressor:srep]
header = 0
packcmd = srep -a0 -m3f -l512 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
