I found a decompression script for a Wii game, so I decided to use it in quickbms to extract the game files, but after I had finished altering them and was ready to recompress them so that I could play the game, I realized that i had no idea how to actually recompress them in the first place. The script that I used to decompress them is:
get name FILENAME get zsize asize comtype lz77wii clog name 0 zsize zsize
I've been googling for hours and tinkering with the script, but nothing I do compresses the files the same way that they were compressed before. Any help would be much appreciated.
If you replace lz77wii with lz77wii_compress it will become a compressor script.
The problem is that lz77wii is more like a format including various algorithms rather than being an algorithm itself, that means the game may not be able to read the compressed file (for example because the algorithm chosen by quickbms isn't the one supported by the game).

So, keep your expectations very low.
Wait, so lz77wii contains multiple different algorithms and quickbms just chooses one? In that case, is there a way I can manually choose the algorithm that it uses and (hopefully) find the one supported by the game through trial and error?
