PMT - Parallel Multithreaded Encoder/Decoder

[darkwolves]

the only thing i cannot get working is zlib it crashes no matter were in the command line i use it
i am particularly pleased with the multithreaded razor

78372 Hello can I get your help ?

Issue : PMT.ini and arc.ini add multiple tools I sent you can you add tools ?
I tried so hard, I failed.

1.Never combine srep with PMT
2. PMT isn't FA. So {options} is not supported. packcmd and unpackcmd is not available, it should be Encode/Decode.
3. There's a typo in lolz section. Plus using lolz with pmt doesn't make sense as lolz is already multithreaded.
4. Invalid in+out file and parameter in uelr.

Why? SREP+PMT fine works))
What about nanozip with PMT?

[shazzla]

Srep+Pmt ? Why ?
Srep is lightning fast by default.

Nanozip can be multithreaded using -p settings

When using the default parameters of "razor" in PMT.ini :
[razor]
Encode = rz.exe a -d 32m pmtoutfile.tmp pmtinfile.tmp
Decode = rz.exe e -y pmtoutfile.tmp pmtinfile.tmp

and in ARC.ini :
[External compressorrecomp,mpzapi,zlib,razor]
header = 0
packcmd = PMT.exe e {compressor} -b64M -t4 - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = PMT.exe d {compressor} -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

when decompressing i got this: "unknown compression method"
the game i want to compress is "black mesa" ( i used "Dixen" Method).

can someone please show me a better parameters to avoid this error in both PMT.ini & ARC.ini , and the parameters of "rz" in ARC.ini.

thanks !

get something,

[hwang4]

I tried several times , in the end i got always the same error ! i'm using :
"PMT (razor) + srep:m3f " , i have no problem in compression but in decompression , it shows "unsupported compression method srep:m3f+razor"

can someone help me and show me an example for what i should add in :
Ultraarc 2.9.0.0 R6 Final :
config0.txt

ASIS.v7.0.8 :
Compressor.ini
arc.ini
Script.iss

thanks!

Hi guys, havent posted much in awhile so decided i would post a reply.
I saw the info about PMT and it looks great but i have a question.
Will this PMT work with installer scripts like C<ustom>I<nstaller>U<ltimate>
3.0.0.1.b4 by Cesar82 or is CIU's options diskspan and ultraarc only? Would love to be able to use this with CIU. let me know if its possible and if it is, what do I need to do to link the compressed files to my project?

thanks.

All OK

So what I doing wrong here?

Post PMT.ini and arc.ini please.

[shazzla]

In some rare case,it happens with me,too.. (for example,Quantum break ,1xx GB version)
Maybe a bug in Razor ?!

[KaktoR]

Use t2 for unpack
