Compress Metal Gear Solid V?

[ipman99]

I have tied many ways to compress this game. All end up with nothing. I was only able to compress 2gb of the game. Total game is 21GB Steam Version. Can anyone help me with this? I need to make this smaller like other repackers, around 12 GB will be awesome.

I have tried,
Masked data compression (best settings) - failed (18GB)
Reflate v2 - failed (output was bigger!)
Just FreeARC ccm - failed (18GB)

you have to use MGSV QAR tool to decompress ALL "chunkX.dat" Files.
when you decompress the files, you have to compress texture files with precomp+srep+lzma
the other files should be compressed with srep+lzma algoritms.

and when am free, I will explain to compress and decompress the files. I did it. it was 11.8 GB for me. but it could be 11.35 - 11.5 gb. it is about compression algoritms and packjpg_dll.dll version.

and decompress ALL "chunkX.dat" files with MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe


MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk0.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk1.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk2.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk3.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk4.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\data1.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture0.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture1.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture2.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture3.dat" -r -u -e2
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture4.dat" -r -u -e2

after that Compress ALL "X.ftex" and "X.ftexs" and "X.pftxs" (ALL Textures) files with

"-mprecomp+srep:m3f:a1+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d176m:fb1 28:mc1000:lc8"

parameters and the other files should be packed with

-msrep:m3f:a1+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d176m:fb128:mc100 0:lc8

this parameters. and put The "MGSV_QAR_Tool" files in the last package.
and create a "x.bat" file and edit it

MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk0.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk1.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk2.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk3.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\chunk4.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\data1.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture0.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture1.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture2.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture3.inf" -r
MGSV_QAR_Tool.exe "master\texture4.inf" -r

like this. and put it in The YOUR SETUP exe.
setup exe has to start this "x.bat" file after decompression (all compressed repacked files) and the chunk files will be created with x.bat.

but , unfortunately the chunk files will be the same but The Hash Values will change(all the chunks will change from the original but the new values is the same on all machines that is why you can use XDELTA). and you can use Xdelta patcher to patch all chunk files.(but if you want this, you have to try all installation for a time and The chunk files(original chunk and the new chunk) should be compared with xdelta.exe)

and The repack is ready to install.

Good Luck

Thanks. After you said about extracting .dat files, I used GzsTool to do that. It worked as well. Thanks for your reply! really appriciated>!

[panker1992]

you can mask compression the process open the arc.groups then under the tab $deflate

put these lines *.ftex and *.ftexs, and use the method placebo under my new masks 2.5

i have used this method and took 11.4 GB

good luck with this
