Game: Shady Part of Me

I would like to package this game effectively. With which attributes is stated above.

The problem is now:

I get 2 BIN files when I compress the SAF with LOLZ and the rest with razorx.

Is there a possibility to create a self-extracting file from the two bin files?

Or can someone give me a tip on how to create an installer from the game?

Notes.
unreal.dll and option -d# is necessarily.
NO zlib+reflate because CRC errors

[Masquerade]

Beyond A Steel Sky uses ZSTD compression on the pak, but neither zstdrec nor xtool can inflate it.

Xtool:zlib will only inflate +0.44% over original size.

Any clues?

Did you use the correct zstdlib version?

Good idea! Added new libzstd and it came to 109%. Good fun.

[KaktoR]

Use a version near game release date (month / week) if possible and go downwards in libzstd versions until you reach a peak in precompression. I don't know if there is a proper way to detect what zstandard version the game was packed. But that's basically what I do (same with lz4).

[Masquerade]

I talked to spiritiovod and he managed to help identify that the version used was v1.4.4 of libzstd. Added that to zstdrec and wowzers:

Compressed 1 file, 15,471,886,944 => 31,903,067,738 bytes. Ratio 206.20%

Anyone knows what xtool+ue4 settings to use (m#) for Everspace 2? Ratio is always 100%
