Precomp Accelerator - PrecompX

[BLACKFIRE69]

Precomp Accelerator - PrecompX 2.0.0.1

A tool for Accelerate the Precomp. (Tested with Precomp 0.4.3 - 0.4.8).

What's new

• Added detection mode.
• Users can select either PrecompX for decompression, or the CLS Library.
• Some improvements.

Commands:
a = Compress
x = Decompress

Options:
-c# = Chunk Size [Compression Only]
-t# = Threads (as a number or as a percentage)
-method = Detection Method [Compression Only]

Detection Methods:

 -intense0  (sensitive) (default)
 -intense2  (more sensitive)
 -brute     (most sensitive)

Usage:
PrecompX.exe a -c# -t# -method - - <stdin> <stdout>
PrecompX.exe x -t# - - <stdin> <stdout>

Arc.ini:

[External compressor:precompx]
header = 0
packcmd   = PrecompX.exe a -c128m -t100p -brute - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = PrecompX.exe x -t4 - - <stdin> <stdout>

For Compression:
arc.ini
PrecompX.exe
precomp32.exe
precomp64.exe

For Decompression:
arc.ini
PrecompX.exe
precomp32.exe
precomp64.exe

or the CLS library for decompress

cls.ini

Hi my friend, how should I apply this change? do I just copy and paste the files into the FreeArc folder? or is it just a test?

[External compressor:PrecompX]

unpackcmd = PrecompX.exe -d - - <stdin> <stdout>

It works perfectly! Thank's my friend =)

Need more info about that

Does PrecompX:intense work?

Also i've found a bug. It can't compress when there are lot of small files (10.000 .epub files each ~200kb) (Default precomp was able to compress)

Now I'm working on some games. I'll edit the result

Edit: It's ultra fast while compressing comparing to default precomp but decompressing seems same(maybe I'm wrong). anyways thank you for such an amazing tool

hmmm i must test

no but, PrecompX contains intense mode.

Also i've found a bug. It can't compress when there are lot of small files (10.000 .epub files each ~200kb) (Default precomp was able to compress)

what's the purpose of precompressing small files (~200kb)?

*.resources - 17 gb > 25.1 gb for 23 minutes on 4 threads

For example. ZTool or Xtool (v0.12) - 30% for 4 hours

Thanks BLACKFIRE69

test unpack

Tested 6 files, 11,963,172,102 => 19,170,907,834 bytes. Ratio 62.40%
Testing time: cpu 20.61 sec/real 565.87 sec = 4%. Speed 33.88 mB/s
All OK

Yep.

Do you have cls (or precompinside) for v0.48?

This cant be right, if it takes 4h to recompress 17gb with z/x-tool you must be doing something wrong. Probably invoking some obscure and completely unnecessary brute mode etc. Compare with similar settings, x/z-tool also have its own options and for 99% time all you need is either :m1, or :m2 - aka :high. Thats it. I can get at least around ~20mb/s on m2/high, tool is extremely fast and have no reason to drag like your results show.

I hope you don't mind a basic question - but what purpose does precomp have? I use XTool etc.. but I've never seen anyone use precomp before. I hope you don't mind explaining which file types / codecs it can help with. Thank you!

Hi friend
Precomp can compress zlib streams like xtools and ztools. Also it can compress the .png or .jpeg files by the help of packjpg.dll file. It can compress zip and gif files. More effective tool 🤗
