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

[Danziel123]

Gundam breaker 4 maybe anyone knows the right compression method for this game? Sorry I can't upload the sample file because there is only one file and it's impossible to upload

Use file cutter and upload first 200mb

You have to figure out the correct library. Good luck

JP voiceovers ripped. You can play the game without problems, but updating the game will get difficult without rehashing pakchunk0-WinAnvil.pak file. I suggest to do this step when the game is finished.

Processing WEM files and BNK files will work aswell but I did not do it here because of lazyness.

Use zlib+reflate for a little ratio increase. Using WemTool for a bulk of the larger wems leads me to a minimum size of 22GB with EN VO only. JP VO + Credits video ripped.

bcm on CriWare movies
XTool Zlib+Reflate + srep + lolz on all else.

sorry if I ask again, how do I find out if the library file is encrypted? I have tried scanning using xtool.exe but none of them match. Thank you

[KaktoR]

What library file is encrypted? Only the pak file is encrypted.

Yes, that's what I mean. How do I know which library is used if the .pak file is encrypted? I've tried scanning using xtool.exe but none of them match.

You can test like this

Sorry to ask again. Why is there nothing in mine when I click on external codes?

[Masquerade]

^^
Because you have placed no codecs by xtool.exe

Place unreal.dll in _libraries folder

You can open and extract pak files with 7zip normally.

binks are kb2n, except of a few which are bink1's (not worth to process them).

wem processing is possible aswell.
