I'm trying to get UELR to work with freearc to add it to my compression script (Ultimate Conversion Compressor), but I'm running into problems.

The attached image below shows what I get when I try to use UELR with arc.exe (manually by running command from CMD).

My arc.ini for UELR is this:

[External compressor:uelr]
header = 0
packcmd   = UELR\uelr.exe u $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

My command is this:

Arc.exe a -ep1 -r -ed -s; -w"PathToTemp" -dp"PathToGameFolder" -muelr "H:\Temp\Test.bin" "*"

Any ideas what the problem might be?

Only works with Unreal Engine LZO Repacker files.

[External compressor:uelr]
header = 0
packcmd   = UELR uv Input Output
datafile   = Input
packedfile = Output

Not sure which games uses these type of files, can you give an example?

OK, thanks, I believe I have at least one of those, I'll use it for testing, hope it works correctly.

As the output says, stream does not contain LZO compressed blocks(that uelr recognize). You need to apply this to only known Unreal LZO files that uelr can surely process.

Already got the answer but thanks anyway.

....

Also, now that I tested it correctly it seems to work fine.

Another question though, regarding lolz...

is there any way to prevent it from output all those numbers on the CMD console while it compressing? (See Attached Image)

I'm trying to have a clean compression script that only display minimal output and display progress in title bar.

My Command is something like that:

Arc.exe a -ep1 -r -ed -s; -w"PathTotemp" -dp"PathToGameFolder" -mlolz "H:\Temp\Test.bin" "*" >nul

if I Remove the >nul at the end it display all the lolz information and appears to be showing normal progress instead of those numbers but I need the >nul to be there.

My lolz Arc.ini entry:

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

I don't really understand the different options in lolz, so any ideas will be appreciated.

use lolz a7.
best setting for lolz with pc 16gb ram and 8 thread cpu...
memory during compression 12.5gb...
for decompression it recommended 2 thread with pzlib...
with uler or afr 4 thread for lolz...

Tried that since, same result, it seems to need some kind of patch that I have no idea how to make.

Game Finding Paradise contain .ogg files that crash OGGRE, either already during compression or later in decompression. This one for example:
008-System08.7z
crash during decompression test. So tool is still buggy, use with caution.
EDIT: Here is the cmd output:

D:\Downloads\lz_scan>OGGRE_enc.exe 008-System08.ogg 008-System08.ogg.cmp
OGGRE v0.1.1
ogg_dedup.duplicates_size = 0kb
ogg_dedup.dedup_buf_size = 0kb
frames_dedup.duplicates_size = 0kb

how much compression ratio u lose when using multithreading in lolz

[KaktoR]

Any of them supports stdin/out?

It seems bpk has a problem with wildcards, so you can't just write *.bk2. BPK will find nothing.

List all bk2 in directory instead and make freearc reads from list file.

Edit:
Ok, even read from list file doesn't work

Edit 2:
Same with bik files.
