Help! if u know how to do it.

I want to repack mass effect 3 but since its .sfar files r lzma compressed and their is no tool available.

I just wanted to do it like FG.
extact the files .sfar compress the output, the after unpacking recreate sfar.

but in order to create md5 perfect files, i wanted to use xdelta.
when i compared orginal .sfar and my recreated one, the difference is as big as the orgernal.
can someone point how to accomplish this.

thanks.

Compressed Mass Effect 3 Complete Edition from 19.2GB to 13.7GB

Used precomp042+srep+lolz on main game .pcc files.
srep+lolz on audio files
srep+lzma on .sfar dlc files
bpk +srep on bibk video files
and srep+exe2+delta+lolz on remaining files

Someone here compressed ME3 from 24.3Gb to 8gb.He doesnt mention how the hell he extracted .sfar dlc files.
After extraction r files md5 perfect.
Here, we share methods not conceil it, this thread is ment to provide info, how to achieve this size. I tried to contact hime but he didnt responded.
I tried to use dlc extractor and xdelta to make it work but after comparing (recreated .sfar )files with orginal, xdelta produces orginal size patch which is useless. if anyone know how to do this let me know.
My theory about how (i guess is his doofoo) compressed it from 24.3gb to 8gb is he extracted .Sfar files and then recreated .sFar from extracted content without useing lzma compression (hence the game size 24.3gb).
Cp has also compressed mE3 from 16.5gb to 11.5gb (compression ratio of around 70%) which is same as mine that means they have encoded videos.
My orginal game size was 24gb after removing French, Italian and German languages, it came down to 19.2 (with single int(english) language).

Someone here suggested using lzma precompressor by shelwain, it has a issue, it doesnt allow using external compressors like srep lolz on precompressed file. what it does is, it first precompresse lzma files, then uses lzma compression with high setting on precompressed files.
BTW it supports stdin stdout(someone might want to try).

I tried xtool on .pcc files but it game me error on some file during precompression. same was the case with ztool.
however precomp took 1 hour to precompress and only 13minutes to decompress.

I used https://www.nexusmods.com/masseffect3/mods/409 to rip out other language out of sfar files.

Saves you a few GB for english only.
