Compress with version (2.1) posted by Panker, version (2.2) does not use it, I think it works for new updates.
Give it a try and let me know if the extraction works with the DLG Extractor or Decomp Tools.

Edit: disable your antivirus during the operation.

is it possible to somehow make the progress bar during the installation smoothly? When using this method of compression is not a smooth progress bar and then hangs up and goes to 100%

Decomp Tools error



This error occurs on Windows 7, I tested it on Windows 8.1 works, how to fix it?

[panker1992]

Hello Dear Community, as of yesterday i am fixing a VERY VERY nasty BUG

i haven't finished fixing it , took me longer than i expected

but i hope when its done, Masks will surely look different

regarding this bug, it fixes masked compression file misdetection

i have found that if many masks are used in parallel detection will not work and files will be compressed using different method

so i decided to make new masks from scratch and write a new arc.groups
to make packing detect correctly and use all tools in the process

i am so taken in by this new work, that i didn't even log in the forums :/

allow me some time, and please use absolutely masks 2.1 legacy to work with

thanks for understanding

@andrey
i am working on a solution for smooth out the progress (progress.inf)

this will show the correct progress in the future and new precomp0.45 will be used extensively

Panker1992, see this


I used Masked Compression v2.2 and with Blackbox v2 updated one, which is modified for Masked Compression v2.2 by you! So can you tell me any solution for this problem!
Thanks in advance

[panker1992]

I am in the middle of fixing a very serious bug, i have almost finished and my solution works

please use masked compression v 2.1, or wait for v2.3

i am testing my masks and my new v2.3 might be up by tomorrow

i cannot promise anything but i hope tomorrow it will be there


edit: Masked Compression v2.3 is up and running

i think the most solid work i did so far

This is a silent Release, none will notice it :P

[Amsal]

Please help me with this!

And bro, one more question, I found two folders of Masked Compression v2.3 in the archive, so what is the difference or they are same

[panker1992]

I forgot to include msr program in the folder i am updating the 7z file with msr inside

[Amsal]

Bro, I tried the new updated Masked Compression v2.3 but Still I am getting this error(I used lztmax) Please help me bro!



Thanks in advance

[panker1992]

i will help you gladly but .... provide info please ....

you said method lztmax what did you compress, did you turn off antivirus ??

was there any mp3 or jpg file to compress?? if you find a file names thumb.db delete it
it causes errors on some occasions

Bro, I compressed a software of name Advanced Installer 11.7, and I don't have antivirus, even my windows defender is off

[panker1992]

ok ok

remove this line

solid = 0 from arc.ini
its down on msr

this will end your problem though i dont recommend to turn off this feature :/

ok bro, it helped me, thanks, one more advice is needed, which compression algo is best in masked compression? And bro, whenever I use lztmax then I got a freearc353465363.tmp folder when installation is completed, but when i use Ultra or brute then I didn't got this problem!

[panker1992]

There is no best algo, every algo play within 3 dimensions

one is compression speed
second is ratio
third is decomp speed

Every algo can have 2 out 3 from the above virtues, so a masked process will always win over the classic process

no algo can have all the above, nanozip has best compression ratio but in terms of speed both comp and decomp it's useless

if there was a perfect algo then this masked thing would be useless :/

I hope i helped Amsal

EDIT - can you also tell which method/algo you used to compress Assassin's Creed Syndicate with all updates to 21.8GB
