Precomp Accelerator - PrecompX

Precomp Accelerator - PrecompX 2.0.0.1

A tool for Accelerate the Precomp. (Tested with Precomp 0.4.3 - 0.4.8).

What's new

Added detection mode.
Users can select either PrecompX for decompression, or the CLS Library.
Some improvements.

Commands:
a = Compress
x = Decompress

Options:
-c# = Chunk Size [Compression Only]
-t# = Threads (as a number or as a percentage)
-method = Detection Method [Compression Only]

Detection Methods:

Code:

 -intense0  (sensitive) (default)

 -intense2  (more sensitive)

 -brute     (most sensitive)

Usage:
PrecompX.exe a -c# -t# -method - - <stdin> <stdout>
PrecompX.exe x -t# - - <stdin> <stdout>

Arc.ini:

Code:

[External compressor:precompx]

header = 0

packcmd   = PrecompX.exe a -c128m -t100p -brute - - <stdin> <stdout>

unpackcmd = PrecompX.exe x -t4 - - <stdin> <stdout>

For Compression:
arc.ini
PrecompX.exe
precomp32.exe
precomp64.exe

For Decompression:
arc.ini
PrecompX.exe
precomp32.exe
precomp64.exe

or the CLS library for decompress

cls.ini
cls-precompx.dll
cls-precomp_x64.exe
cls-precomp_x86.exe

Hi my friend, how should I apply this change? do I just copy and paste the files into the FreeArc folder? or is it just a test?

add this into the arc.ini.

Code:

[External compressor:PrecompX]

packcmd   = PrecompX.exe -e - - <stdin> <stdout>

unpackcmd = PrecompX.exe -d - - <stdin> <stdout>

It works perfectly! Thank's my friend =)

Need more info about that

Does PrecompX:intense work?

Also i've found a bug. It can't compress when there are lot of small files (10.000 .epub files each ~200kb) (Default precomp was able to compress)

Now I'm working on some games. I'll edit the result

Edit: It's ultra fast while compressing comparing to default precomp but decompressing seems same(maybe I'm wrong). anyways thank you for such an amazing tool

no but, PrecompX contains intense mode.

what's the purpose of precompressing small files (~200kb)?

Dishonored: Death of the Outsider

*.resources - 17 gb > 25.1 gb for 23 minutes on 4 threads

For example. ZTool or Xtool (v0.12) - 30% for 4 hours

Thanks BLACKFIRE69

test unpack

Tested 6 files, 11,963,172,102 => 19,170,907,834 bytes. Ratio 62.40%
Testing time: cpu 20.61 sec/real 565.87 sec = 4%. Speed 33.88 mB/s
All OK

Yep.

Do you have cls (or precompinside) for v0.48?

Please how do I make an installation file compatible with PrecompX

Replace precomp.exe & PrecompX.exe with arc.exe and write to arc.ini

Pack

Quote:

[External compressor:PrecompX]
header = 0
packcmd = PrecompX.exe -e - - <stdin> <stdout>

Unpack

Quote:

[External compressor:PrecompX]
header = 0
unpackcmd = PrecompX.exe -d - - <stdin> <stdout>

which installer scripts does this work with? Also Cesar82 if you are reading this, can you implement precompx into CIU compatibility instead of only being able to use xtool? I love my CIU scripts but faster precomp would be great. thanks. :)

KaktoR that updates (Adds/Removes) compressors after several tests.
If he finds it beneficial, we can include it.

Please make a script compatible with the program

here is an example,

I hope you don't mind a basic question - but what purpose does precomp have? I use XTool etc.. but I've never seen anyone use precomp before. I hope you don't mind explaining which file types / codecs it can help with. Thank you!
