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

[kj911]

WAVE compression again: Retested few switches, use TinyGamePack tools by Panker1992 and from searching best results.

In last time good results: 635 350kB

Its default versions with lzma switches its bigger 1-3MBs. This data package contains huge duplicated files. cca. 10-20% in full sizes and files. Deduping compression schemes its preferred than LZMA1/2 ones from data size reduction. UCC2.9.0.0R6 badly configured or any Win7 issues its previous badly results or switches? Used WinXP x86 from compression.

Use scripts and switches from Compress.bat file

arc a -lc1024 -ld1024 -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ datax.bin -mmsc+rep:256m  "Data\*"

and msc/srep switches:

[External compressor:msc]
header = 0
packcmd = MSC c -v -f -wav=1 -raw=1 -bmp=1 -ddsraw=1 -ddsdxt=1 -mp3=1 -bmf=9s -tak=9 -dxt=1  $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

[External compressor:srep]
header = 0
packcmd   = srep -m5f -l64 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

SREP-ed versions its probably few kBs smaller. Without srep compressed archive its probably, minimally faster decompression.

Optimfrog compression testing now again in future time. (waiting smallest results from than TAK compressed ones?) This -tak=9 switch replaced to -frog=9 switches.

Noob questions: The TAK or OptimFrog its better programs the stability issues these (De)compression progress?
TAK: v2.3.0 32bit OptimFrog: v4.910b

Any results, from my repack:

V2 separated files version summary in last time:

Data1: 2743279kB
Data2: 628021kB
Sound: 635350kB
Binaries: 3683kB
_________________
Total: 4010333kB = 3916.34MB = 3.825GB

Saved 58086kB's from v1 one BIG files versions. Binaries its probably minimally better compress use various lzma switches.

Any results2:

Its 'Data2' files set compress again use arc with -mx switches.

Results: 786646kB (xZLIB+SREP+ARC)

And compress again 'Data2' files set without LOLZ compression. (xZLib+SREP only)
Its precompressed archive size: 3711090kB.

The file compress and RAZOR 1.03.7 x64 use -d 256m switches. NanoZip v0.09 x64 compressing use: -cO -m4g -t4 switches and waiting in few hours from results.

RZ: 638301kB
NZ: 662708kB

Its winner? LOLZ!
