7-zip compression [Solved]

Post by fiddler_on_the_roof »

How do I
Use 7-Zip on ultra compression. Also, you you can check the box 'Create SFX archive' and it will make your file an exe file, so that people don't have to download 7-Zip to use your mod.
In addition 7-Zip has compression better than .zip and better than .rar.
How do I put it on ultra-compression, and where do I check the "create SFX archive?

thanks

Hmmm...

DIdn't I?
Now what did I mean?...
:)

Try this:
1. Install 7-Zip
2. Right click on your file(s)
3. Select "7-Zip" and then click "Add to Archive"
4. Change the "Compression Level" to Ultra
5. Change "Archive Format" to 7-Zip
6. Check the "Create SFX Archive" button
7. Click OK

That should be all. :)
