Masked Compression (Ultimate compression in one go)

[Masked Compression 2.5]

masks 2.5 are here but this time a minor release

1) third mask was beta last time, now it aint ...it works out of the box with great success

2)precomp 038 remade, and optimized from scratch, precomp 0.38 is custom
and it is faster than all other precomp, on my test precomp 0.45 took 9 minues almost
and precomp0.38 took 5 minutes and 35 seconds ( test file was 700 mb file )

precomp038 set to slow mode and prrecomp 0.43 for brute mode, more of this in arc.ini

3) legacy2 works again since precomp038 is added again

4) msc is disabled, but you can enable it yourself, i did a proper test with this and reflate doesnt work with msc

plus the ratio was increased and not decreased (if you dont believe me i can post results and you can always test yourself)

5) zstd doesnt work with my config anymore... it took errors i had to reformat entire pc and again didnt ( that was enough for me to cast it aside tho i left the sonido )
and the option for you to re-enable it

6) msrsolid mask and void mask are better optimized !!!

Stay tuned

in my first test msc is usefull.it won't be usefull in all files.it's only for raw,bmp,dds,mp3.reflate is not working on my computer and every update i change it. so i will use msc :/

[panker1992]

it comes disabled by default that doesnt mean that i threw it away

this set of tools is flexible you can enable disable whatever you want or even put other tools in there to work with

i provide my set and my defaults, that doesnt mean they are the perfect, thus the options and choices

for me msc is an obsolete tool because i use another tool which isnt provided in here that doesnt like it at all

good luck with this

Edit : to enable msc on all instances change static to show like this

static = msc+srep64+exe2+delta

working now with the fix
thank you panker for your listening and reactivity

[panker1992]

To update, simply download that precomp i posted now and replace the precomp in the resurces file on WPI and Black box


Do not update the precomp that masked compression uses for compressions


You do not need to recreate the data1.bin all over just this update compile the source and run it

[panker1992]

I compressed 114mb files, I used -mdeflate, and i only used precomp038 with this -slow ONLY!

[panker1992]

did you get the update ??

did you replace precomp in inno and recompiled the source ??


use precomp method only to help you

i suspect this might be a reflate problem
