I'm also new to this will share when I learn more.

Here is a short tutorial for using xtool with MASK:
Open Arc.groups with notepad(++)

Search for "$xStream"

There you write
1) files by file masks (*.png, *.pak, etc.) (subfolders will be included)
2) files by their full file names (f.e. File.dat, File.png, etc.) (for this the mentioned files must be present in root folder or any folder you select with Input in UltraARC GUI)
3) full file names with paths (f.e. Folder\File.pak, Folder1\Folder2\File.pdf)
4) file masks with paths (f.e. FolderA\FolderB\FolderC\*.wav)

Personally i using a mix by 1 and 2 only. But 3 and/or 4 are possible too.

Just make sure you have no duplicants (delete them), otherwise arc will skip them

Save the file

Open Config0.inf
search for "MASK = Example", replace "Example" with
If you only need xtool, remove "/$void=0/$binkpack=bpk"
If you need some other masks too, add them and put files inside arc.groups in their respective sections. Note that between each mask there must be a "/" to seperate them.

You can also write the methods in full lenghts, example:
PS: It could be that you must add something to Arc.ini in CIU folder if you use Xtool with UltraARC (because i just have seen that UltraARC not use xprecomp anymore), otherwise you will get something like "unsuported compression method".
Just open Arc.ini in CIU and add the following to the end (or somewhere)

Is this the settings for best compression?

Use Lolz

Unreal Engine 4
MMC=xLZO+srep:m3f+lolz

Ok. Nice info and tutorial. Thank you so much guys. I will trying understand since i'm new with these methods. Btw, need to change something in External Compressor.ini (CIU folder) ?

I think MMC with a precompressor is not good at all, because like i said, you will precompress ALL files, even files which don't have any streams in it. It's a waste of time and not that purposeful.

If you want to use XTool, enable XTool (remove //) and define the achitecture you would like to use ("x64" for 64bit or leave it blank for 32bit)

#Define XTool = 32bit
#Define XTool "x64" = 64bit

All these just making me confused I can only use GUI. :( Any plans on improving that??
Or can you guys make a build with best compression balanced with speed, and upload it here please? ;)

What to do??

try a different compression method, what you chose might not be correct.

Then why giving option to that which might not be correct? BTW, I tried all compression method but it's still not working. :(

Ehm, just use LZMA2 or LOLZ, not both. Both are final compressors.

Hmm? :confused:

Hello Simorq,

Simorq, Up-to-date UltraARC 2900 R5 Stable Release which you are preparing (up to date UltraARC 2900 R5 Stable Release) is need to be compatible with the file i send you. And must have file divide ability. Can you help about this? This is very important for me. Thank for your help.

How to use diskspan with ultraarc?

Thanks for the tutorial it really helped! Also is it the settings for best/max compression? If not can you give the settings for max compression?

Unfortunately this is not possible.

max compression For each game is different

like:
Pes 2018
srep+lzma 4xDVD5
pzlib+srep+lzma 3xDVD5

Mass Effect: Andromeda
srep+xlzma 10xDVD5
xzstd+srep+xlzma 8xDVD5
xzstd+srep+lolz 7xDVD5

Masked Compression It is very similar to MMC.
With the exception that the files are divided into groups.
You can assign a different compression method to each group of files. Look in the file Arc.Groups here you will find what files are divided into which groups.
The Config0.inf file contains an example of how to give each group a different compression method

UltraARC 2900 R5 Stable Release Are you able to demonstrate mask compression by trying on example big game?

I need it so much I can not fuck it please help

You have a test game? Name it here i will look then

it can be game and game videos 5.gb close dimension
