yes in inno setup i have error with your cls but not in cmd
but profager's cls works great

BPK has two cls, I just added both of them to a single dll and compiled.

I don't think this needs another new thread so posting here.

Enjoy!

Very thanks!! Its DLL file working via FreeArc and running from XP!! (De)compression its works, via tested one BIK file. OK.

C:\>Arc.exe a -mbpk tmp.arc rockstar_logos.bik
FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) updating archive: tmp.arc
Compressed 1 file, 35,665,884 => 26,079,703 bytes. Ratio 73.12%
Compression time: cpu 13.45 sec/real 15.52 sec = 87%. Speed 2.30 mB/s
All OK

Any test in coming soon.

Mini update: Found the bug! The DLL not compressing via splitted BIK/BK2 videos!!

Found few sample: http://samples.mplayerhq.hu/game-formats/bink2/

C:\>Arc.exe a -mbpk BIK3.arc Open_Logos_partial.bik
FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) creating archive: BIK3.arc
Compressing 1 file, 10,240,000 bytes. Processed   0%

C:\>Arc.exe a -mbpk 0.arc sc13_01_partial.bk2
FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) creating archive: 0.arc
Compressing 1 file, 10,240,000 bytes. Processed   0%

Multiple files compression, via folders, its works. ;-)

Update2: Compressing BIK files sourced from SC2 Hungarian versions.

BPK Only:

C:\>Arc.exe a -mbpk videos.arc offline videos
FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) creating archive: videos.arc
Compressed 24 files, 454,103,532 => 353,408,418 bytes. Ratio 77.83%
Compression time: cpu 184.66 sec/real 202.88 sec = 91%. Speed 2.24 mB/s
All OK

BPK+LZMA:

C:\>Arc.exe a -mbpk+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb273:mc1000:lc8 videos2.arc offline videos
FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) creating archive: videos2.arc
Compressed 24 files, 454,103,532 => 324,503,253 bytes. Ratio 71.46%
Compression time: cpu 598.48 sec/real 643.92 sec = 93%. Speed 0.71 mB/s
All OK

Without SREP-ed version smaller than ~150kBytes. Gain its very minimal.

BPK+LOLZ version worse results: 340 590 349 byte (Ratio: 75.00%)

UPDATE3: SREP-ed version, not decoompresseable in properly, use any variant and methods. (CLS-*.dll/*.exe files, arc.ini, any..) CRC-error in 2% percentage. Try it use REP or REP+LZMA methods from compressing.

very good cls thank you very much

Try with an installer

Could you please elaborate more on what you you mean by "using installer"?
I have same problem, most cls's expect RZ and maybe 1-2 more I could never made work.

I told because that needs administrator access and he can't make that with bat. Installer always run as administrator so it should work.
What do you mean by "expect RZ"?

I see, but I run whole system as admin so its probably not my issue. RZ is razor compressor's cls. That and 1 more I dont remember name were only ones I could ever make work. Everything else gave me app crash. I use win7 64bit btw and was wondering if this have to do with not using win10.

Otherwise FA work without problem as well as exe's, its also latest FA 0.67 march 15 2014. I also could not get to work custom cls's made by your generator if that help.

[78372]

I am using win7 x64 too and also my whole system runs as admin.

Probably your cls script or something else is incorrect because the generator works fine here.

[1234567890123]

for me lolz is running in decompression but it's not using cpu and disk just use 250mb ram
tried example pack and unpack with cmd and run again it's worked for test file but tried precomp+msc_tak+srep+lolz gived error again today I will try deeply

[elit]

For your generator, I really tried everything, like different chunk settings(static/dynamic,0) as well as no cls.ini or one with different chunk settings.

To give you example, I recall once I was able to get generated cls working for bpk but chunk size had to be 0 and static. Then it packed but without showing progress. It still could not unpack no matter what. Default bpk cls was able to pack properly showing progress but was never able to unpack, giving decompression error as well.

Lolz, for that one I could not generate working cls even for packing. Or I think there too chunk 0 maybe was able to pack with no progress but unpack never worked with any. On top of that, I tried cls others used that claimed to work for them - with exact same cls.ini settings as well and it still did not work. How can it work for someone but not other thats the question. I dont use any antivirus and even windows defender is disabled.

Since there are more people having cls problems here(and not just in this thread), there must clearly be something specific that is causing this, and I would like to get to the bottom of it so everyone can benefit from cls's. If you have any idea where I could look into, or any tips on this issue I will greatly appreciate it.

[78372]

^^^
Can you please upload the script here?

[elit]

Here is some example with generated cls for lolz, but first I want to let you know that your last cls-bpk seems to work fine for both packing AND unpacking, which is great and for me also rare so thank you for that.

Ok here is how I made lolz cls:
1.png
File uclsg that it generated is:

[CLS]
CLSName=lolz
TempDir=tmplolz
Encode=file.in file.out
Decode=
Inputfile=file.in
Outputfile=file.out
Exec=lolz_x64.exe
ChunkSize=64m
Chunk=1

Cls.ini is(also generated):

[lolz]
Chunk=64m

Now here is something I just found only now. You see the file generator.exe on the right side panel that was used to create lolz cls. I can actually pack this file, it will create arc packed file with it inside. Now, this one is located in: D:\Downloads\a.
But, when I go one folder up to D:\Downloads and try to pack another file:
2.png
I get this:
3.png
That is same type of crash I always get.

I am not friendly with MultiArc so probably I haven't figured out the real problem but make sure you did these:
1. keep cls-lolz.dll at the same folder where freearc.exe is located
2. Do not try to add files to an already created archive
3. I am not sure keeping unpackcmd blank will cause bug or not, but you must use cls generated with UCLSG to unpack a file packed with UCLSG cls

Don't worry about multiarc, it (doesn't)work same with FA's GUI I tried already, multiarc only pass same arguments and I intentionally worked with simple few files to avoid possible unknown errors.
1. yes as you see from my screenshot
2. no I always try pack to new one
3. I think it should but I am not 100%, how can one add 2 exe files since many programs have separate exe for packing and unpacking? Like bink_pack.exe | bink_unpack.exe, or oggre_enc.exe | oggre_dec.exe. Is there way to use your generator for such situations?

Anyway, here is another example, I used default lolz cls and its settings as was published on this thread:
1.png
^I coppied 2 exe's and dll, there was no cls.ini so I assume its not needed and deleted if I had any in my FA folder.
2.png
^I copied exe and imported same exact lolz setting into my arc.ini, which is:

[External compressor:lolz]
header = 0
packcmd = lolz_x64.exe {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

And yet, when I try to compress a file I get:
3.png
This is with everything exact as it came. So, I dont know. You guys tell me if I did something stupid or what. And yes I did tried also with cls.ini and different and previously suggested parameters it did not made any difference.

EDIT: 78372 here is an idea, if you could make lolz cls with your generator that work for you and tell me exact settings and how you did it, or just attach the files here, I will try it same way and see if it work, then we could see if its actually possible that same cls dont work on different systems.
