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

[Masquerade]

precomp+srep+lolz/$ogg=oggre

1.4GB ---> 370MB

[Masquerade]

XZLIB+SREP+LOLZ

46.6GB ---> 22.3GB

I used -d3 param with zlib+reflate.

[Masquerade]

xzlib+srep+lolz

14.9GB ---> 5.5GB

[Masquerade]

srep+lolz

3.5GB ---> 1.1GB

[Masquerade]

xzlib+srep+lolz

4.9GB ---> 3GB

[Masquerade]

xzlib+srep+lolz

Now, this is a unity game and you only need srep and lolz, however SREP would crash when trying to run on this game files, so I put xtool in front and it worked (failure on both srep 3.92b and srep 3.2). XTool does nothing to actually improve compression here.

18.2GB ---> 3.8GB

Please write the full parameters that you used for lolz and which version of xtool have you used.

Has anyone tried Serious Sam 3 (BFE)? I have tried the method on here (by dixen), but for some reason, it doesn't work as well.

Xtool (zLib codec)+msc+srep+lolz - 6 gb > 3.3 gb

6 GB > 5.55GB for me. I tried changing out my version of XT and srep/lolz as well but it gets almost the same result.

Make sure you don't have LZMA enabled in your MSC configs, since it will compress everything input with LZMA after any media streams.

Small language update for Spyro Reignited Trilogy (if anyone cares at all ).

Was able to figure out all languages by Audio Track ID

ID   Language
1    English
2    Arabic
3    Danish
4    German
5    Spanish Mexico *
6    Spanish Spain *
7    Finnish
8    French
9    Italian
10   Dutch
11   Norwegian
12   Polish
13   Brazil **
14   Swedish

*Example: Spoken "[...]es una criatura simplona."
But I'm not sure what is Spain and Mexico. We need some guidance from Spain/Mexican people here

**In Portuguese it is "[...]é uma criatura simples."

I will do this same shit for Crash Bandicoot.

Language update for Crash Bandicoot 4 It's about Time

ID   Language
1    English
2    Arabic
3    German
4    Spanish Mexico ???
5    Japanese
6    Spanish 
7    French
8    Italian
9    Portuguese Brazil

I couldn't figure out what language ID 4 is yet.

PS: ID 4 is somewhat spanish mexico or whatever. They say "si" for "yes". But other keywords don't match with spanish (spain) or italian.

Spanish (Mexico) is Spanish for Latin America. Spanish (Spain) is European, the difference lies in words and adjectives.

For example, mobile phone (Spain) and cell phone (Latin America), things like that

Telefono movil (España) - Celular (Latinoamerica)(Mexico)

[lomesmo]

It is essentially the same only that in Latin America and in Spain different words are used to express the same idea

[KaktoR]

Makes sense, but because I don't speak spanish I can't tell you any deeper differences between Spanish and Latam
