I don't know why, but freearc mx compression is better than precomp04+srep+lzma for some games, such as GTA San Andreas. precomp04+srep+lzma=1.27GB, freearc mx=1.2GB

[Gupta]

if Game doesn't get deflate stream and < 4GB then even 7zip's -mx will beat both
precomp04+srep+lzma
and freearc's -mx
in compression , compression time and decompression time.

So, I see recent posts about 4x4. Let me tell you my experience with it. When users were installing my repacks some of them, got "Not enough memory" error. Srep was given 256mb memory in script

if not SrepInit(ExpandConstant('{app}\'),256,0) then break;

Do you think if I would have given it 128mb, no one had this errors? I just left 4x4 and moved onto lzma2.

And have any of you had such error?

Precomp 0.45, and one which is in currently in development is even better, uses only 2 temp file per stream

Well then which precomp is the fastest while compressing? (.38/.4/.42)

Another question, PPMonstr compressor shows not enough memory while having more than enough memory in windows 10. Why? Any way to fix it?

Hi all!

I need a little help with SREP.
In command line

Srep64 -a8 -m5f -l512 -d1024 mydata.dat mydata.srep

works fine.
But when i chain the algos like this

Arc.exe a -mpzlib+srep:a8:m5f:l512:d1024+delta+zstd myarc.arc mydata.dat

,it says : invalid option -d1024 (or something like that)

Without -d1024,everythings fine...

-d1024 or -d1024mb,it doesnt matter.
Any idea ,guys ?
Thanks in advance !


Solved : Old SREP version was buggy. V3.93a works fine.

Hi,
if you are a fast learner, Then refer the following topics

http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=439298&postcount=1

Under installer topic lot of installer with different functions and procedures are there.All are based on inno setup script.

You may download some script files.Then edit with your knowledge.
You may learn
how to create wizard page,buttons,bevels.panels.checkboxes and many things.

But if you are out of patience! ask the Masters who create some installers when they have patience.

Help please..
I can unpack .pak files of crysis 3 with pak decrypt, it converts pak to zip but how can i pack them back to .pak

[shazzla]

Cant recrypt .pak files. Crysis3 uses an asymmetric cypher and it needs the encyption key. (Decryption key can be found in one of its file. Thats why you have it)

[ZakirAhmad]

shazzla: What is point of decrypt a file when u cant encrypt... how can i use xdelta to make them .pak back with .diff

[shazzla]

Ok,you want to make a repack,i understand.
But you cant reencrypt .pak,because it needs the encryption key !!!

Whats the point of convert pak to zip ?
U can rip out things. :-)

Imho xdelta is not for messing with cryptographic algos....
If you want to know more , google for XENTAX.

[ZakirAhmad]

@shazzla, But u still need to encrypt that ripped file before using in crysis 3...

is their a way to compress crysis 3 game files...

Thanks but there are only installers, no tutorials
