Using zlib here is useless. In fact this game use lz4hc, but most of the data are uncompressed.

Also you can use bink2 plugin to save another few percents on size.

AS you can see bk2 method is not such effective. (However, lolz is not such effective to! It will only waste your time about 9 hours for lesser than 1GB of compression).
