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

[L33THAK0R]

Tools used:

oggre + msc + srep + lolz

Note applicable for all titles: MSC does work on a majority of the .wav/.mp3 loose files as well as the container files used in some titles, such as the "LEGO Harry Potter" titles as well as the "LEGO Middle-Earth" titles, however it's recommend to do a bulk test on all applicable files as there are a fair few instances of CRC-mismatches and there isn't an easy means to identify this without testing. The same can be said for all applicable Vorbis audio. Newer waveform audio in the "*.ADP" container format cannot be processed currently. I haven't tested to see if the engine will accept re-coded audio in the standard and compressible PCM format, given the fact the engine used for all TT titles (bar maybe the Skywalker Saga, given its a fairly considerable engine revision) is building upon the foundations of the previous iteration, it might (?) be possible to do so. Same can probably be done for the various incompatible "*.ogg" files given the format is the same, and some chunks just don't play well with Oggre.

Files ripped: Non-English Loc., unused left-over files from the console releases & left-over demo-exclusive files.

Final notes:

- All tests were based off the latest clean GOG/Steam RIPs.

- Some decompressed sizes may be slightly larger than what others may experience as I tend to include any and all QoL fixes/mods as included offerings, and only include larger less critical mods like the soundtrack replacement mods for the various licensed titles by TT, as optional component offerings.
