Compressed AC revelations Gold Editions v1.03
 

Compressed AC Revelations Gold Edition From 6.4 Gb to 2.8 using afr+srep+lolz on .forge files and
srep + lz77 on sound files.
and
bpk + srep on bik video files.
precomp + srep + exe2 + delta + lolz on exe txt etc files.

2,8 gb too

Fahrenheit: Indigo Prophecy Remastered from 9.4GB to 2GB
srep+lolz

But can be compressed even more if you use bpk on videos and other tools ;)

itried to use the exe version of bink compressor on some files from AC 3. i tried in sold mode. tje files compressed 2 times better than dll version of bink compressor. in exe version ratio was 38% and in dll version ration was 77%.but when i decompressed with exe version with the provided exe unpacker, i got crc error after the first bik file extracted. in sold mode with exe version sometimes compression too fails.

my guess is, it is bink compressor doesnt work when we put bik files in container that is why dll version of bink comlressor first compresses then puts files in arc container.

suggested changes if u think r needed.

Compressed AC 3 Complete Edition V1.06 from 15.4 gb to 5.08gb
 

compressed AC3 from 15.4gb to 5.08Gb using precomp srep lolz afr and lzma2.
bink compressor on videos.

I guess, i shkud stop posting here, because some doesnt like precomp doesnt mean we shouldn't use it.

AC III has no files worth with precomp. What you did is wasted your time.

I am actually surprised to see precomp, we already have pzlib to apply on zlibbed file, what's the use of precomp these days unless you need packmp3/packjpg?

r u sure.
 

I guess u havent scanned the exes etc with zlib scanner, Almost in 99% of cases they contain zlib streams whech inturn reduces their compression 5 to 10mb.

pzlib doent work on every files. for eg. the files from COD black ops, precomp works on them while pzlib not.

Did you tried with reflate libs?

Plus monster compression isn't worth that much for me, adding some more minutes only to reduce 2-5mb

yeah i tried with reflate libs too.

when u r targetting perfection in compression, u didnt want to leave anything behind. BTW when exe's size is >150mbs u can achieve more.

precomp doesnt add mimytes to decompress them, only 1 to 2 seconds.

Seems interesting, I thought reflate can precompress better than precomp. Which precomp version are you using?

precomp 038.
i guess any version of precomp works on them but not pzlib.
pzlib has some problems like too much ram utilization during compression and decompression. use of chunk(main problem) because u have to find the exact chuck for games. In reflate part of pzlib, u can only set level manually, u cant set memory, windowsbits, parameters, I guess which causes creation of diff file and hence makes compression worse(in some cases).
pzlib hase many good things as well like faster decompression, compression, multithreading( i have no idea why the pzlib is only a bit faster in decompression than precomp).

Try Pzlib with these settings
pzlib e -rx -x

it is a bug with pzlib, i reported it to razor.

What is the best lzma settings I found this
lzma:a1:mfbt4:d640m:fb273:mc1000:lc8:pb4
And I use 640m dictionary because I have 8gb of ram

Normall, i distribute game in 4 archives, 1st one game data (in this case .forge ) and i used compression method afr+srep+lolz.
2nd contains sound files which (srep+lolz).
3rd contains videos (bpk+srep)
and 4th include .exes .txt pdf some images like .ico .dlls etc (for ur kind info which contains zlib streams ).

and also i compressed .forge files of ac 3 to 2.53gb

Why not take advantage of latest precomp version?

Nice :) at least ztool's other codecs apart from pzlib still work on something newer.

Yes, but ztool is very unstable (at least lz4). It just hang now for over 3 hours on a single file.:confused:

I have just tested with standard params (no parameters were given). Will try with different parameters instead.

why not make public the latest version???:rolleyes:

any suggestions
which is the best compressor to compress file.mp4 ?!
lossles.

what latest version? I haven't been making any new programs, especially precompressors.


plz4 and these other codecs were roughly the same as pzlib v2, full of bugs. even pzlib in 0.0.19.8 is buggy, hence the 0.0.19.8 version, versions before version 1, it was an alpha release, version one was planned where everything would have been refined.

The encoder of plz4 was updated in May 2017 I think, so you can see, there was inactivity in that codec because I was so obsessed with adding a lot of other codecs, plzo, pzstd and etc.

Zee we must fix this plz4 now and forever, toooooooooooooooooooooooooo many versions :/

many devs also mod lz4 to their needs.... make it even worse

I said of version 1

version 1 only had pcrilayla and if I had it, I'd post it.
pzlib, plz4.... were being updated so there really isn't anything important in it.

I know man :)

(ZTOOL) plz4+srep64:m5f:a2+delta+lzma:ultra:a1:mfbt4:d158m :fb273:mc1000000000:lc8

must have fazip

compressed down to 13.8

that is not the deluxe edition... that i am repacking as we speak

what is ur orginal game size?

that is because it is using Divinity Engine wich i personally do not know how to compress

22 gigs... as for the deluxe edition that i am working on now is 27 gigs i will post result of deluxe later

bpk for bik files


initial size 10.5 gb

repack size 5.78 gb

22gbs down to 13.8gb (not good compression ratio)
FGs ratio is 27 to 13gb

u can achieve better with lolz (use multithreading) with mtt0

or u can get better decompression speed with same ratio using lzma2

fitgirl also uses many hidden tools not all of us know of and lolz does not work too well for me in fact those lzma settings compress higher for me than lolz does

i excluded no files

+ lolz is slow as fu..

right? i'll take a few extra gigs lol

Using mulithreading u can achieve better speed than lzma during compression while maintaining same compression ratio.
i am getting 250kbps speed using single thread and if i use 3 threads i am getting arounf 700kbps while getting same ratio. but know that u have to mtt0 (multi threading type zero) not mtt1.

lolz works only if u use it on precompressed files, it will not work if files r compressed, because in that case headers(bmp dxt) r corrupted by compressors like lz4 etc.
every repack of FG which r rerepackd , i compressed that around 70mb better than fg.
the only thing which currently FG has better than us is knownloadge about knowing how to unpack files if they cant be preprossed with ztool plzip or uelr.
hope this helps.

You can increase fba and decrease mc to get more speed at compression, it will the compression ratio, but not that much. Use more tt for better ratio and slower compression. Also check dictionary size suitable for your needs.

i've used it... thing about fitgirl she knows how to decrypt files and make them re encrypt after installing... i am still trying to figure out how she did marvel vs capcom infinite... i can't even touch it and like i said i've seen little difference using lolz

only the data folder has the frostbite 3 streams if you use it on that you should have no problems
