| OK.. So I'm writing a compression/decompression DLL in VB6 (And YES, you CAN write properly exported windows DLLs in VB6), but I'm a little stumped on how to go about writing a recompressor (the decompressor is done... mostly). See, I'm not quite sure hwo I would go about compressing data without writing an extremely slow compressor, I would think. Does anyone have any tips or helpful guides they know of? I'm looking through google for any ways to write a good compressor, btu I can't find any.
In case you're wondering, these are the compression types I need to support: RLE - 5-bit run length Incrementing RLE - 5-bit run length 2-byte RLE - 5-bit run length LZ-Copy - 5-bit run length LZ-Reverse-Coopy - 5-bit run length LZ-Bit-Reversing-Copy - 5-bit run length Uncompressed data blocks - 5-bit run length RLE - 10-bit run length Incrementing RLE - 10-bit run length 2-byte RLE - 10-bit run length LZ-Copy - 10-bit run length LZ-Reverse-Coopy - 10-bit run length LZ-Bit-Reversing-Copy - 10-bit run length Uncompressed data blocks - 10-bit run length |

| "Told ya." said the pink creature. "See? I AM right every once and a while."
"Oh be quiet, it was obvious." Just able to get out of the way before Alizabe crashed down into the wall, the boy walked over and knelt down beside her. "Hey, you okay? You had quite the little crash." He said, smiling sweetly, while the little creature on his shoulder looked at her. "Heeeyyyy... You're like me! COOL!" |

| OOC: Sorry... flowery might not have been the best word for the job. Oh, and the boy isn't gay.
The boy called out after Alizabe. "Hey, waitasec!" Catchign up to Alizabe, he began talking. "You might as well know, I just came from that way. There's nothing left there. Anyways, you're welcome." |

| That wasn't the first time a girl had stared at the boy, or tried to look away from him in case of offending him. The boy actually didn't feel offended by others when they did that, just creeped out if they were male. "You know, I was trying ot talk to you. And F.Y.I., you're not the first girl who's pulled what you just did- don't worry, I don't get offended. Just creeped out if the starer is male. Anyways, as far as I know there's nothing that way, no stairs, just what looked like a one-way drop. Anyways, whatever. Good to meet you, I'm Sukasa."
"Yeah, he's a big goof" Said the little creature on Sukasa's shoulder "Shut up, that's what you are. Anyways, this is my summon, Luminara. She's more of a little furball than anything, although... You did help me with that one slime..." Sukasa said, changing the focus of his words to Luminara. The little cat-person crossed her arms and took on a very proud, 'I rock' look, closing her eyes. "Of course, the score is still 1 to what, 35?" As Sukasa said that, Luminara opened her left eye halfway, looking at Sukasa with that little animated hollowed-out-plus symbol on her right temple. |

| I know... I sorta came up with a plan that involves looking through all the compressions, and looking for anything that gives a return on your byte usage (i.e. actually shrinks the data, as opposed to enlarging it [i.e. LZ-copy-10bit for a 1-byte string]), and then picks the best of those that do, only bothering to check the 10-bit runs is a 5-bit run of the same type can go to it's max. I wrote in how to handle uncompressed data, not the regular way, but one I think would be more effective (not to mention more possible without compromising cartain other compressions). | |||

| *Sukasa wields his copy of win98SE*
Yeah, XP would likely get you by. Heck, Win98SE worked when I was running stuff designed primarily for modern computers (Soundblaster Live! 24-bit), and I still use it. Considering Xp's age, it'll likely be supported by microsoft for a good long time, so no need to upgrade (apparently, no want either ) |

| "Sukasa, And My summon is Luminara," Ay which point Luminara interupted Sukasa with, "Hi!". "You certainly seem confident. Well, good luck." Finsihed Sukasa | |||

| Ueah, my LZ-copy compressor find the longest amtch it can, then goes back when the match ends and continues looking for another, and eventually finds the longest and best match available, and compresses that. | |||

| 1) perhaps that sprite doesn't work in vertical levels
2) is Layer priority enabled on the lava? |

| "I think it would be an understatement then to say that would NOT be a good thing. So tell me, how exactly do you plan to stop this dragon thing?" Asked Sukasa, an inquisitive and worried look coming over his face. | |||

| "Well, I'll be gone then. Frankly, I need to get my new weapon made, this sword is toast." Running up the stairs, Sukasa caught up with Alizabe. "Hey," He called out to her, slowing down beside her. "I never did get your name." (edited by Sukasa on 09-22-06 07:33 PM) |

Actually, 256 and 65536. Mostly because they're Nice, simple numbers (well, in Binary ) |

| I can't really give you a picture of a text file, but... I can drop a couple key words from it's commenting:
"KompreSS", "Public function Comp", and "Public function Decomp" Figure out what they mean. ![]() |

| So, yeah, I'm working on a piece of code, and a bug gave me a wron goffset for another section of code in a decompression routine. I was using a counter for an array variable bIn(), and got this, where lpA = 8 and bin(9) = 145, and bIn(10) = 0, and lpC and lpB are unimportant (lpC was 0 FYI, and lpB was 18). The error was in the section "( (bIn(lpA+1) * 256) + bIn(lpa + 2) + lpC)":
bOut(lpB) = bOut( (bIn(lpA+1) * 256) + bIn(lpa + 2) + lpC) lpA, lpB, and lpC were all long variables, and bIn() and bOut() were all byte variables. So, bIn(lpA+1) = 145, and for 145*256 it gave me an overflow error. Any help as to why it did so? I then executed "Debug.Print 145*256" In the immediate pane, and ALso got an overflow error. Help? |

| Ah, thanks. I was wondering why the heck VB was doing that. | |||

| "Windows DLL."
Screw ActiveX, I have the power of a linker proxy for VB6. ^^ So... this would work for C++, In case anyone is interested in a KA editorfor NES if there isn't already one, since KA and KSS use the same compression format. |

| If you're really desperate, try vgmusic.com It's videogame music, but there's a lot there (>21,000), so that *might* just help you survive. | |||

| It was the bagged stuff that was worst, I recall...
Then you had idiot store managers who'd taken the infected spinach out of the bags and sold it wholesale as fresh. Way to go guys. You keep making people ill. Idiots. |
