Best Compression Methods for 'Specific' Games. Q&A

[kj911]

Any times recompress again the MSTS game Data1.arc package. (46 724 *.ACE files) use Tiny Compressor v1.4

First compression:
Use original settings.
SREP v3.93b, m3f
LOLZ: dt:dtb1:dtw1:dtm1:dto1:dtd1:mtt1:mt4:d64m:fba4096: f1023
Results: 2 743 249kB

Second compression:
SREP replaced to v3.92b versions
One LOLZ switch changed to via d64m to d128m
Results: 2 719 422kB

Third compression:
SREP default switch replaced to: m5f:a0
LOLZ switches changed to via d64m to d128m and added tt8 switch
Results: 2 715 396kB

Note: Don't use tt256 switch! Compression speed hell slowly (and probably minimally better ratio), average ~2 to few kB/s!! tt8 doubled to tt16 or any higher ones, min. 100-200+ percentage extra compression times.

4nd compression, its final:
SREP default switch replaced to: m3f:a0
LOLZ switches changed to via d64m to d128m and added tt8 switch
Results: 2 711 752kB

All OK

This Data2.arc set its recompressed again.
SREP its default settings.
LOLZ: Use d128m switches.
3nd recompress test in coming soon in last night.
2nd results: 625 893kB (First: 628 021kB)

3nd results: 624 127kB (with Data1.arc 4nd compression settings and remove unneccessary one *.lnk and *.log files before compression.) Finalized.
Next step for optimize Binaries data set. (few MB's) and write NSIS based installer.
Sounds packages its finished. Results: 634 861kB (MSC+SREP)
Note: Replaced TAK 2.3.0 to 2.3.1 its minimally better results: 634 836kB. Decompression its works.
