Let me try it :whistle:

@goobdoob: I won't let me open it in terminal. It directly crash! No error message etc..
Try running it on a command line. It doesn't use base64, so it won't be the same issue as UnRen; it assumes that (and should check for) ffmpeg and cwebp being instaled.

@CobraPL the current code works with Ren'py
I mean Google develops WebP and XConvert had outdated build.

EDIT: XConvert uses 1.0.0, since then:


- 11/2/2018: version 1.0.1
This is a binary compatible release.
* lossless encoder speedups
* big-endian fix for alpha decoding (issue #393)
* gif2webp fix for loop count=65535 transcode (issue #382)
* further security related hardening in libwebp & libwebpmux
(issues #383, #385, #386, #387, #388, #391)
(oss-fuzz #9099, #9100, #9105, #9106, #9111, #9112, #9119, #9123, #9170,
#9178, #9179, #9183, #9186, #9191, #9364, #9417, #9496, #10349,
#10423, #10634, #10700, #10838, #10922, #11021, #11088, #11152)
* miscellaneous bug & build fixes (issues #381, #394, #396, #397, #400)

- 1/14/2019: version 1.0.2
This is a binary compatible release.
* (Windows) unicode file support in the tools (linux and mac already had
support, issue #398)
* lossless encoder speedups
* lossy encoder speedup on ARM
* lossless multi-threaded security fix (chromium:917029)

Asking for feedback: today I've tried my first compression experimenting on : so I just run Unren option 1 to extract .rpa and then run Cruncher option 6 to compress everything. Before processing folder size was 883 MB, after processing over 1.5 GB.
I'm missing/misunderstood something?

Did you delete the original .rpa files?
Are you sure LaS isn't already in webp/webm format?

You see? Noob errors. Since Cruncher deletes original files I thought Unren was working in the same way, and I didn't checked.

I am, but I've seen images are in .jpg: since between my first attempt and this reply here I've read more about compressing I'm now aware - from my understanding - .jpg is an already compressed format so it's probably useless to compress it any further.

EDIT: did a try for science: from 880 to 740 MB, which obviously isn't worth it.

The only way to get from noob to non-noob is experience! :)

jpegs are compressed, but webp has (usually) better compression. Depends on the image, and the quality used. But the most impressive gains are from uncompressed pngs.

So i dont need to use UnRen? I was trying to follow instructions
Guessing you're trying to crunch the game (since that's what this thread is for)?

RPA files are like zip files for Ren'py, but with no compression. You need to use unren to get all the files (pictures, sounds, videos, scripts, etc.) out of the RPA files and then delete the .rpa files. Don't delete anything else that starts with .rp - you need all that stuff for the game to work.

Then you can run Rencruncher on them or whatever else you want.

Make sense?
