Precomp Accelerator - PrecompX

[BLACKFIRE69]

Precomp Accelerator - PrecompX 2.0.0.1

A tool for Accelerate the Precomp. (Tested with Precomp 0.4.3 - 0.4.8).

What's new

• Added detection mode.
• Users can select either PrecompX for decompression, or the CLS Library.
• Some improvements.

Commands:
a = Compress
x = Decompress

Options:
-c# = Chunk Size [Compression Only]
-t# = Threads (as a number or as a percentage)
-method = Detection Method [Compression Only]

Detection Methods:

 -intense0  (sensitive) (default)
 -intense2  (more sensitive)
 -brute     (most sensitive)

Usage:
PrecompX.exe a -c# -t# -method - - <stdin> <stdout>
PrecompX.exe x -t# - - <stdin> <stdout>

Arc.ini:

[External compressor:precompx]
header = 0
packcmd   = PrecompX.exe a -c128m -t100p -brute - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = PrecompX.exe x -t4 - - <stdin> <stdout>

For Compression:
arc.ini
PrecompX.exe
precomp32.exe
precomp64.exe

For Decompression:
arc.ini
PrecompX.exe
precomp32.exe
precomp64.exe

or the CLS library for decompress

cls.ini
cls-precompx.dll
cls-precomp_x64.exe
cls-precomp_x86.exe

Hi my friend, how should I apply this change? do I just copy and paste the files into the FreeArc folder? or is it just a test?

[External compressor:PrecompX]

packcmd   = PrecompX.exe -e - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = PrecompX.exe -d - - <stdin> <stdout>

It works perfectly! Thank's my friend =)

Need more info about that

Does PrecompX:intense work?

Also i've found a bug. It can't compress when there are lot of small files (10.000 .epub files each ~200kb) (Default precomp was able to compress)

Now I'm working on some games. I'll edit the result

Edit: It's ultra fast while compressing comparing to default precomp but decompressing seems same(maybe I'm wrong). anyways thank you for such an amazing tool

hmmm i must test

no but, PrecompX contains intense mode.

Also i've found a bug. It can't compress when there are lot of small files (10.000 .epub files each ~200kb) (Default precomp was able to compress)

what's the purpose of precompressing small files (~200kb)?

For example. ZTool or Xtool (v0.12) - 30% for 4 hours

Thanks BLACKFIRE69

test unpack

Tested 6 files, 11,963,172,102 => 19,170,907,834 bytes. Ratio 62.40%
Testing time: cpu 20.61 sec/real 565.87 sec = 4%. Speed 33.88 mB/s
All OK

Yep.

Do you have cls (or precompinside) for v0.48?

Replace precomp.exe & PrecompX.exe with arc.exe and write to arc.ini

Pack

[External compressor:PrecompX]
header = 0
packcmd = PrecompX.exe -e - - <stdin> <stdout>

Unpack

[External compressor:PrecompX]
header = 0
unpackcmd = PrecompX.exe -d - - <stdin> <stdout>

[Kitsune1982]

which installer scripts does this work with? Also Cesar82 if you are reading this, can you implement precompx into CIU compatibility instead of only being able to use xtool? I love my CIU scripts but faster precomp would be great. thanks.

KaktoR that updates (Adds/Removes) compressors after several tests.
If he finds it beneficial, we can include it.

Please make a script compatible with the program

I hope you don't mind a basic question - but what purpose does precomp have? I use XTool etc.. but I've never seen anyone use precomp before. I hope you don't mind explaining which file types / codecs it can help with. Thank you!
