You can compress it more by separating WWise sound files..
For all *.ba2 files - xtool:mstarfield+xtool:mreflate+srep+lolz For all *.bk2 files - xtool:c256mb:mbk2:df20p For all WWise - srep+ lzma (bcm/msc + srep +lzma) For everything else - srep+lolz |

Actually, using dd without any number, is xtool internal deduplication without srep, which might lead to bigger output sizes.
Example for "Starfield - Textures01.ba2": First is xtool internal deduplication (dd), second is with srep (dd#) Code:
Streams: 15714 / 15714 |
Compression under Process with the DSG. Will share every detail with extraction time and all. However, I checked those WWise and compressed them separately using xtool:mstarfield+xtool:reflate+srep+lolz.
19.3GB >> 6.98GB With approx. 2 minutes of decompression time on my installer on high end PC on SSD. Quote:

lolz on sound files? Really?
If you have some spare time, try lzma, lzma2, zstd, bcm, razor instead. From my last tests, zstd had some good results (default settings). |

I tried lzma, got around 10GB
bcm was around 7.7GB (not exact size but something around this) haven't tried rzr/zstd, but once I'll do a final compression, I'll share all the logs with their extraction time. if you want I can share you the file and my setup.exe. Edit 1: RZR 10GB Edit 2: zstd (max) 9.57GB Quote:

I managed to put it under 71.8GB
Here are my logs: Data-01 | *.ba2 (except WWise files) Quote:
I separated out the WWise files because the conversion method used to give me CRC error when i included both in one. You can still experiment yourself Quote:

Total unpacking Time: 15-18 minutes SSD to HDD [High End PC] Edit 1: srep_new:3 vs xtool:dd3 have absolutely no size difference on file size. I ran few tests on big files. There was not much difference in extraction speed/time between both the methods too. Edit 2: If you want better compression size on Data-01 (don't try on Data-02), you can try precomp at cost of extraction speed [Thanks to sc00t3r for this] Quote:

Either you can see it by just looking at the file names (example: "Starfield - WwiseSounds01.ba2"), or by using HxD and search for wem specific texts, like this
https://i.imgur.com/4Au5CBE.png And now, how about to know if you can compress them with msc/xtool:mflac.. Just test it lol In this case for Starfield, you cannot use msc or xtool:mflac, because the wem files are encoded with ogg vorbis. |

I don't know how you can skip. Not completely aware about DSG coding, but this is how I did.
I moved all the WWise files out in a separate folder. Like Starfiled > Data > *.ba2 (except WWise) and New Folder > Data > WWise * .ba2 files And then, compressed Starfield and New Folder separately. If you have trouble, you can DM me privately on topic Quote:

Broooooo...
Code:
Data#.InclText=*.ba2 |

@Kaktor
I tried xtool's dd3 vs srep_new:3 on few starfield files to test. I couldn't notice size difference, nor much difference in extraction time. |
It is much faster in encoding because all goes directly through stdin. And even on decoding it is slightly faster, also it requires less memory.
Normally, if you use srep it will copy all the files to a temp folder first which can take a lot of time, plus it requires additional disk space, and also doing its "second pass". With xtool dd, all these steps are obsolete. The output data which comes from srep is compressed immediately if you use compressors which works in stdin/stdout or cls mode (which lolz does not do atm in dsg). For example lzma, lzma2, fast-lzma2 and zstd. However, a Idea comes to my mind and I will ask César if he can add something to dsg. |

Maybe use something like this aswell
Code:
[Game1Settings] |
I think the compressor have no access to "xtool:mstarfield" method.

You need to download and manually place the plugin in Xtool Folder.

Seems like you have problems with masked compression lately.
Recompress just the last bin file. 1. Move all files out of conversion folder to somewhere else (somewhere out of diskspan_gui folder). 2. Edit DSG_Settings.ini like this Code:
[Game1Settings]4. If compression is done, open records.ini and copy the "Size=" key and paste it in old records.ini (from the compression before which gave you an error) 5. Move Data1e-01.bin to the folder which contains the compressed files from before This should do it. |
Quote:

Just follow the steps described above. At the end, replace new created Data1e-01.bin with the old one. Just move the old files to somewhere else.

Hi, can you please update this conversion to the latest DSG & new dlc? (shattered space). Size now 132gb. Thank you:)
