ZCM with Freearc
 

As I seen, many people told that ZCM is not supported for freearc, and aswadd wants a working example of ZCM with freearc, so I thought to make a new thread instead which could help people, (don't mind if it is called as 'SPAM')

One more things guys, I have heard that ZCM 0.93 is case sensitive, anyways, as I think it will not matter with FreeArc because freearc already made it in one file input only.

You could rename zcmx64 to zcm if you have 64bit processor and you are running 64bit Operating System

Some commands and switches details (you could apply them in arc.ini) -

<Commands>
a Add files to archive
x Extract files in destination path
l List archive

<Switches>
t<0...8> number of task (0=autodetect,default=1)
r Recurse subdirectories
s Solid Mode ON
v Verbose Mode
m [default -m4] Compression Method/Memory (-m0 ... -m7) (m8 is available for x64)


Use above commands and switches with the CLS.ini in the encode line

Thanks Razor12911 for making CLS

I'm thinking about a concept of adding external conpresseur dynamically, so any external compressor compatible with FreeArc interested me much thank you for this.

Your welcome.

O.o something wrong is going on it increases the size not compressing
Compressed 20 files, 75,397,181 => 93,247,590 bytes. Ratio 123.6%

Use srep+lzma after zcm and you will see the final size and compare with precoml+srep+lzma, you will see almost same results ;)

arc is collecting the final compressed file and the first packed file into the last output :(

Archive is I:\1\MyMask\temp\freearc313767405.tmp\$$arcdatafil e$$.tmp
argc=*
100% Compressed 75397181 bytes to 17850408 bytes
100%
Errorlevel=0
Compressed 20 files, 75,397,181 => 93,247,590 bytes. Ratio 123.6%
Compression time: cpu 0.14 secs, real 32.22 secs. Speed 2,340 kB/s
All OK
=======================================
75397181+17850408=93247589
it's not a precompressor it's an issue :( it collects the original data & the compressed data in one archive

Hmm matey, I didn't get you, but whatever you are saying is not happening and zcm works like this way only, see this bench also, you will know -

http://encode.ru/threads/1432-Experi...ll=1#post27672

here is the solution :D
packcmd = zcmx64 a -s -r -m8 $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
================================================== =======
Compressed 20 files, 75,397,181 => 17,850,409 bytes. Ratio 23.6%
Compression time: cpu 0.06 secs, real 32.83 secs. Speed 2,297 kB/s
All OK

OK matey, give me some hours, I have to go for now, will sort out this issue soon :)

Matey, BTW which method you used in arc.ini?

ok :) I'm waiting

only zcm :) the idea to get it work is to reverse $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
but i still get decompression failed :D

I'm using zcmx64 last version it already has m8 method but maybe other versions don't have it :)

Matey, as per me this is fully wrong process in the view with freearc, anyways, you give me results with -m7, I can't test everything right now because I am on mobile
