For me all is Ok ^^

The problem not remain on most files but happen when i tried on ACU game > sounddata folder and on files like dlls, exe, text file etc. Is there any editing which i can do in arc.ini file like mmt or compression ram usage ?

Added NEW CIU2039 2017-07-07, which includes UltraARC 2800 R2

Thanks goes out to all who worked hard on this final version.
See Post #1 for new archive.

Everything is right but can you restore the original UA 2410 and 3040 please?

Here if someone wants even older versions

Thanks for posting them, but I have a back-up of them already, just incase anyone ever asks for them

MSC: BMP/DDS/MP3/RAW/WAV Lossless Compressor

[KaktoR]

Yes, but not for all. I have MP3 files and no change in size after compression. Same for some dds files with some "special content". Header or i don't know exactly.

[78372]

According to my benchmarks, it's better to use ONLY MSC on media files. using srep/lzma after msc actually increases compressed size.

[KaktoR]

Will test it out during the day. Now over 14.000 dds files (9,46GB in size) in work with msc+srep+lzma

<--------------------------- D D S ---------------------------->
Total founded DDS: 14535
DDS with unknown type (not RGB and not FOURCC): 249
DDS with unknown FOURCC: 0
DDS with unsupported type (DXT2,DXT4,Volume): 17

processed DXT DDS: 12907 - 0(lzma reject) = 12907 (187'175'840 b)

processed RAW DDS: 1362 (2'096'452'393 bytes)

Will try after that with only msc and see what happens.

Edit: Guess UltraArc error. Final size 82,6MB. Will try with batch again.

UltraArc error. Doesn't like so much files with msc.

Batch file runs since over 20 minutes now (still msc detection).

Batch:
Input: 14.536 Files, 9,46GB, only *.dds files
msc+srep+lzma -> 1,43GB
srep+lzma -> 3,64GB
msc -> 3,85GB

[KaktoR]

Again CRC check failed (-12).

Maybe because of that amount of files in one archiv (~15.000).

Will try UA with lower treshold (10-15).

Edit:
UltraArc doesn't finish bins properly (most of the files are not included in archive) but with no error message... treshold 15. Will try now with 5 or even 1 lol.

All OK

From those 1,834 files are only ~160 files in archive. Last file give crc error.

Edit2:
I think i have found the problem about not taking all files...

As you can see, there is a folder called "BSHeartland.esm". It's a folder, not a file. UA/FA thinks this is a file and don't take any files that are in this folder. UA only takes the last 4 files. Copying to temp folder is ok, MSC goes through all those files, but then, srep+lzma only compresses this 4 files.

Treshold was "1", because all other doesn't work (Failed to create Data#.bin).

_Compression.log says all is ok, but nothing is ok ^^

So far to the "not packing all files" problem.

Problem left, CRC errors while extracting with MSC.

Simorq thanks.

Will try tomorrow

[KaktoR]

Still same error, but other file.
