LOLZ library is hosted on Krinkels forum, they changed theur rules so you must contribute to the forum in order to download files.

Because I can't download it and reupload it here (you can get banned for that) you will need to download a "pre made" compressor tool like UltraArc and take lolz_x64.exe from there. CLS-LOLZ (the unpacker) you can get from ASIS script. Then you are sorted.

This is a fun one! Read the steps carefully!

This is not MD5 perfect, but completely lossless.
This works on version v1.10 - but could change on newer versions! I checked the key using at0mos key dumper and it matches with the key in the current build of the below tool.

Part 1 - Decrypt the files:

1. Go here.

2. Download the zip and extract it. You need pakdecrypt.exe.

3. Go to your Wolcen folder, go into "Game".

4. Paste pakdecrypt here and make a new batch file.

5. In the batch file, paste this command:

Code:

for %%f in (*.pak) do pakdecrypt %%f %%f.zip

6. Run the bat file (do not run as administrator) and wait for the process to complete.

Part 2 - Preparing the files:

1. Copy all of the old pak files to a separate folder, since we no longer need them BUT it's always good to have a backup of the original copy.

2. Make a new batch file and paste this command:

Code:

ren *.zip *.

(this is to restore the .pak extension to the files)

3. Move / Delete the 2 batch files and pakdecrypt.exe (no longer needed)

Part 3 - Compression:

1. Make first archive using these files:

Code:

Sounds_MISC.pak
Sounds-WEM.pak

Compress using:

Code:

srep+mtx:c64m:tXXX:rz

(where XXX is your thread count)

2. Make the next archive with every other files:

Code:

xzlib+srep+lolz

Total Compressed size: 12.09GB
