Maybe i doing something wrong... its happens only with pzlib

pZlib+rep:512mb:a99+srep:m5f:l128:a1+lzma2:d176m:f b=273:mf=bt4:mc=100000:lc=4:lp=0

arc.ini

This is normal.

I need help, I seems to be getting CRC error on setup when using pZLib3+srep64+lzma64

my method:

pZLib3:st1+srep64+lzma64:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

My arc.ini for the 3 compressors:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:srep64]
header = 0
packcmd   = srep64 {options} -v0 -m3f -a2 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep64 {options} -d -s - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:lzma64]
header = 0
packcmd   = lzma64 e lzma{:option} <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = lzma64 d lzma{:option} <stdin> <stdout>

Any ideas why is that?

Thanks

use Ztool...

Already tried, didn't give the desired compression ratio, so not an option in this specific case.

I've now changed my arc.ini a little and trying pZLib3 again

[doofoo24]

did you add hif2raw_dll.dll & raw2hif_dll.dll to ztool ?
game like crysis 1 need hif2raw_dll.dll & raw2hif_dll.dll, setting r9

[KaktoR]

Have you changed decompress arc.ini too?

I'm compressing Assetto Corsa, Not Crysis, but yes, these dll files are in the same folder as ztool

My CIUv2 arc.ini for pZLib3:

[External compressor:pzlib3,pZLib3,pZLib32,pzlib32,pZlib32,pzLib32,pZLib64,pzlib64,pZlib64,pzLib64]
header = 0
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t100p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

and my current compression arc.ini for pZLib3:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp 
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

UPDATE:

OK, as for the time of the original compression that gave me the CRC error the compression arc.ini was this:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

I have now changed the pzlib3 arc.ini entry for CIUv205g to be this:

[External compressor:pzlib3,pZLib3,pZLib32,pzlib32,pZlib32,pzLib32,pZLib64,pzlib64,pZlib64,pzLib64]
header = 0
;unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t100p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t25p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp <stdout>

So far, 4 minutes into setup & no CRC Checksum error, it was practically immediate before.

The only issue now is that the elapsed time keeps progressing while the time remaining stays 0 and the progress bar stays at 0.0% .

But I'll give it some time, could be because of the extreme compression ratio (40GB game to 3.80GB archive)

UPDATE 2:

Around 10 minutes in, I got the following ISDone error:

An error occurred when unpacking!
Unarc.dll returned an error code: -1
ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails)

[doofoo24]

wow extreme compression ratio (40GB game to 3.80GB archive) ???
what setting ???

These:

pZLib3:st1+srep64+lzma64:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

With the following arc.ini values:

[External compressor:pZLib3]
header = 0
packcmd = pZLib e {options} -m2 -t25p -c128m - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
;packcmd = pZLib e {options} -t100p - -o - $$arcdatafile$$.tmp -o - <stdout> 
unpackcmd = pZLib d {options} -t75p - -o - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:srep64]
header = 0
packcmd   = srep64 {options} -v0 -m3f -a2 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep64 {options} -d -s - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:lzma64]
header = 0
packcmd   = lzma64 e lzma{:option} <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = lzma64 d lzma{:option} <stdin> <stdout>

But as I mentioned, so far I fail to unpack it with CIUv205g.

I'm trying to perform a test on the archive directly with FreeArc UI program to see if the archive is actually corrupt or not, this will at least give me an indication where my problem is.

ok, i am tring to compress the game now with ztool with pzlib:m3:r9:c256m i will report back...

[KaktoR]

There are some games/files, where pzlib3 or ztool have errors from the beginning in compressing. A good and new example is Kingdom Come Deliverance, where some files have some kind of false detection with pzlib, result is either crc error or archive data corrupted in extracting.

Same was a single file for NBA2k18 i guess, where the ratio was over 2000% inflation.

I don't know if it is a generall problem with pzlib or just switches.

Hopefully, that's not the issue here, because that will be really annoying, I'm trying something now, hopefully it will work, if not, well, I guess it'll back to the drawing board.

To be honest, I didn't try to compress it to 1xDVD5 size, that was a shock when I've seen the result, I'll be happy with getting it to work with a size of 2xDVD5 without the extra 300MB+ 3rd disc.

Problem is, so far, only pzlib3 managed to compress the game below 8.99GB size (which result in a 3rd, nearly empty disc)

[doofoo24]

pzlibv3 and ztool didn't work for me (i mean it did not detect zlib) not decompression error...
i tried to scan different files type (kn5 / ai ) with gfs from razor zlib with levels(slow) no zlib file with dynamic streams option it detect zlib...

How About U Add "-v" To Pzlib3

[Andu21]

Well, if it helps, DLZ offers a little more compression than LZMA at almost the same speed. Depends on the data in the end.
