Compressing with SLZ_03_COMPRESS resulting in bigger file

Post by 2KRN4U »

I tried using a simple script to recompress

Code: Select all

comtype SLZ_03_COMPRESS
get SIZE asize
clog file.slz 0 SIZE SIZE


but I just end up with a file that's slightly bigger than the already uncompressed file. Attached is the original compressed SLZ (type 3), along with the uncompressed file from it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It's a fake compressor useful only if the game needs a compressed file as input and therefore there is no other choice.
