rarely xtool do not decompress compressed data for example in nfs run compression, after xtool size is not getting bigger 16gb to 16gb but pzlib,ztool,precomp,reflate made it 30gb.
i remember someone told it for another game in this thread i just want to learn why?

when i posted the repack method NFS The Run i used pzlib from Ztool wich works just fine on it

(method)
used format factory to convert wmv to mkv under very low settings
reducing the size over 1000%
then compressing with

srep+delta+lzma:ultra:a1:mfbt4:d200m:fb273:mc10000 00000:lc8

after installing you can use format factory to restore the videos to wmv and regular
size and quality it multithreads so the videos restore fast

initial size 6.70
repack size 2.56 gb

[PsYcHo_RaGE]

For The King
From 2.5 GB > 725MB

Using srep64+lolz

Usage:
srep64 = -m3f -l512 -a2
lolz(slow) = -d256mb -tt8 -mc1023

You can also use lolz fast but their will be a small increase in size >i think 100MB

22:26:06 - Starting Data3.bin.001 creation
11:13:08 - Finished Data3.bin.001 creation

Data1

*.bk2 => bpk

Data2

* => srep+lzma
(exclude *.bk2 and *.forge obviously)

Data3

*.forge => afr:a2+srep+lzma

~3GB smaller output because this time I have compressed all *forge files directly in one go.

As you can see above, compressing was time consuming as hell (13 hours, 13 minutes). I think with lolz or stronger stuff you will easy go to 20 - 24 hours +++.

68.7GB => 31.4GB

Anyone knows what compression method SkyrimSE bsa archives use?

ztool zlilib + srep + lolz

[KaktoR]

I'm talking about texture files. They are compressed somehow (and it's not zlib, 100%). I must unpack them to compress them properly, no problem, but I must compress them back afterwards with compressor they use to original state or at least near original to patch them.

B.A.E. - Bethesda Archive Extractor v0.10. from nexus and then use the razor12911 injector so that Fg can make the best compression in the world sory my bad english

[KaktoR]

I know about BAE, the injector from razor12911 is too slow (200mb = 2 hours is not good).

what I wrote before is only theory because I have little time to practice. but BAE in my opinion is the only one that decompresses the files. bsa just find a better injector. search the web. good luck
