Extreme Black Box compression - how ?

[lhanz678]

wow

this is mine

[Bilawal]

I Converted whole far cry 4 v1.6 data_win32 folder using this option
arc a -lc8 -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ Data\Setup-1.bin -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "D:\Far Cry 4\cd1\*"

Ratio was 51.0%
From 25.8 GB to 13.2 Gb...

Far Cry 4 repacked to 6.7 GB, that's insane compression

[romulus_ut3]

Why not share the methods? It's what this forum is meant for? ^_^

Corepack for Far Cry 4 is used rebuild archives. Then it has a smaller size of compressed but again increased in size after unpacking.

^40% true, that didn't help actually. Rebuilding the game archives made the size possible to 11 GB only, done by KacTus Repack Team

I did it! Finally, after many attempts I managed to compress this game to repack the BB size, and more! My folder was about 1GB bigger (25.8GB), and I managed to compress it to 12.9GB - 0.2GB less than BB repack! Yeyyyy!



It seems that compression using SREP is more effective when we use it on a SINGLE LARGE file, rather than smaller packets of data. So first compress the entire folder with the game using 7z or arc (can't remember), without the compression level and then I treated this large single file with the SREP. It gave me the final file size 12.9GB.

The riddle was, at least partially, solved

And now there is another problem, but with this I invite you to THIS topic

could you show how to use this switch?
many thanks

try with -s12g instead -s12gb
and if you have a lot of ram try more dic size d1024m or d4096m
and cores -mt8

arc a -s12g -ep1 -ed -r -mt8 -w.\ "Data.bin" -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8 "G:\Far Cry 4 - Gold Edition"

25GB ==> 12,8GB

And what the command line for unpacking this?

^40% true, that didn't help actually. Rebuilding the game archives made the size possible to 11 GB only, done by KacTus Repack Team. But did something much more impressive which made it possible to 6.7 GB, still keeping the game quality 100%.

You Coregames are a buch of something which do not belong here. Yeah you may ban me moderators but one of the member of this guy came to me and wanted to join, bt I said that i can't run so I told em to talk with razor12911 and now you are famous by repacking farcry 4.</br>
One thing I want to say is, create conversion for original game as some people like me has limited download speed.

And can you please tell me the guy name who came to you ? Cause I am the only one who repack games in the team and never did I met you in the past. Though I know Razor12911, he's my friend and very good in making installer. He's the guy who helped out in making our installer.

Last thing, Far Cry 4 is not the only repack for which we are famous.
