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

[wrathma]

Pre-processing:

inside Paladin\Content\FMOD\Desktop you will find many .bank files.
extract all of them using bnkextr. you will find a lot of .ogg and some
other files. merge all *.ogg files into a single solid file solid.ogg using
bincat or anything else. delete the rest of the extracted files. make a
hdiff patch from solid.ogg to Paladin\Content\FMOD\Desktop without
any compression.

Archives:

• Archive 1 - Paladin\Content\Paks\Paladin-WindowsNoEditor.pak
  use oodle dll v2.9.5
  

  xtool:mermaid+kraken+srep+lolz

• Archive 2 - *.mp4 *.mov
  

  zstd, or you can use bz3 (better ratio but slower unpack)

• Archive 3 - solid.ogg
  

  oggre

• Archive 4 - diff file
  

  msc:raw:wav

• Archive 5 - everything else
