Of course I used ztool on .earc files which work great there.

So I dont know... how the hell she could get it ~8gb smaller(taking into account for non-recoded bigger videos duplicates). I am trying xdelta right now but I dont see much benefit over srep. Its about deduplication both. Only other idea would be razor/lolz instead of lzma, but its hard for me to believe those would make such a big difference. Anyone?

Oh you know very less about lolz then. FG repack is 45.9 GB without credits.

pzlib+srep+lolz & bpk on bink = 45.5 GB which is still around 400 MB smaller than her repack.

So then lolz must pack it in this case almost 20% better than lzma. I usually seen around 8-10% gain against lzma in the past when I tried. Thanks for info I may give it another chance in future.

test game with hd texture size 148 gb

conversation with mask from kaktor result 28 dvd

test install now

So I tried pzlib+srep+lolz and I got ~41gb. This is still not good I should not get more than ~36gb, I reduced ~12gb videos to ~1.6gb, even with bpk this is no match to my savings. zoroX can you post exact string you used for packing? My was:

custom5x/$gamelz=pzlib+srp64+lolz/$dds=srp64+lolz/$bink=proccmp -ma1 -s;

^where 99% of data go to $dds and $gamelz. $gamelz take care of .earc files and $dds include .heb files. .mab and .sab audio files are in $compressed = srep64+xtor:c3. Right now I am trying lolz without srep again but dont have high hopes.

btw lolz is: -mt4 -mtt1 -mtb128 -d128 -mc8 -tt1 -dtp0 -dto0 -dtd1 -dtm1 -dtw1 -dm00, this gave me at least 2x speed with basically no compression ratio worsening in my tests.

I used mask and got this error while installing: (win10x64- enough space- no AV - short address location "D:\test\FFXV")
I Should mention that I have manually done some splitting and joining on bin files to have faster installation and lower merging. I do this all the times but is it possible that this error would be the result of my work. maybe I did something wrong. I don't know.

[KaktoR]

Could be.

Is this the first file after merging the archive?

But it could also be error of pzlib3.

[zirkhaki]

it's from the first bin file which is smaller than a DVD so it doesn't need to merge
and it for this file:
datas\level\dlc\multi\worldshare_multi\navimesh\wo rldshare_navimesh_splitter03_multi.earc

I put this bin file aside and check the others to see if this error still exist on other files. I'll report back

Edit: Another bin file extracted with no problem but I got this error on another one

Edit: I've Done the compression again and didn't changed anything, but I got that error again. Any suggestion?

Have started yesterday at 7pm, it still runs on last GB, so it's finished on aprox 15-20minutes (12pm).

Makes in total a conversiom time for about 17 hours with MASK (i've played 4 hours yesterday btw so the process slowed down a bit in this 4 hours), without any HD/4K content (+ those you can easy reach 20 hours compression i think).

All is done with Intel i5 @ 3.20GHz + 16GB RAM + normal HDD.

Used UltraARC again, this time with other pzlib3 settings + binkpack for video files. Will test installation in a moment. Tested some files with which gave errors (see pic from zirkhaki above for example), all are done without problems.

Installation time... i think mimimum 2 hours.

Use XTool and 4x4 - 10 -14 Hours (I3-3240)

[KaktoR]

Nah, don't want to compress a whole day again. End of story: -12 crc error at 45%.

Use none compression, srep+lzma or whatever you want. I'm tired of that shit.

Use single core.
like: pzlib:max:c32m:t1

[KaktoR]

And then error of some other file

If you have fully tested it, share your compressor (diskspan) and i will share new setup.exe with needed decompressors

[KaktoR]

Conversion updated.

Read notes!

Edit: Compressor Fix added. Replace the file

[Danziel123]

Hi kaktor
Can you update the conversion to the latest version?
Mine using conversion file in first page, the conversion process is succes but while try to install, when on DVD 10 the installer just closes
Try twice still same
