Unity Engine

Usage
Place unity.dll near xtool.exe along with required libraries and use -munity

Notes

The library is required both encoding and decoding.

liblz4.dll is required

Plugin updated

Changes

Updated Unreal Engine to support Xtool 0.3.16+
Unreal Engine 4 codec (ue4) no longer requires method parameter to work (m1 and m2), only specify the key.

Thank you so much for this tool! I'm not too familiar with the Unity engine so forgive me if this is a silly question but are the applications of this tool, engine-version-specific or case-by-case?

So far I've only had luck using this tool on the title "Outward", with other titles (Aragami, Cat Quest, Beholder) reporting back with failed decompression messages despite detecting streams and experimenting with "preflate" and "reflate". Interestingly enough the "Outward" compression only seemed to proceed when neither "preflate" nor "reflate" were used.

Could someone please let me know what to use in the parameter if I want to use the frostbite3 plugin specifically for a game.

Assuming I use something like this:
I wanted to directly pass the parameter to each game supported by frostbite3, but I don't know if I should use the name of the section ([Streeam#]) of the frostbite3 .ini file or the value of the key "Name=" of the corresponding section.

If it is the value of the key "Name=" it would be more or less these commands. Is this the correct way to use it?
For Battlefield Hardline I didn't find information in the frostbite3.ini file of which method to use, but as informed in the #post it requires the LZ4 library so it is possibly the same as its brothers BF.

@Razor12911, I was wondering if I can use a fake parameter (number) along with XTool (If it will be discarded, or if it can cause errors). This additional parameter will only be for DiskSpan_GUI to know which library should be copied along with XTool before compressing.
Example to copy oo2core_4_win64.dll I would use: xtool:mkraken:4;

using -mfrostbite3 makes xtool search for all streams [Stream#], # = All entries.

But if you specify -mfrostbite3:zlib as an example, since the stream entries can have names, it will only target those streams.


Yes this is correct, BF4 - BFV means from battlefield 4 to the release of battlefield V, in between Battlefield Hardline and Battlefield 1 came out so these use the same method (lz4)

Yes, you can put fake parameters, they won't affect xtool in anyway.

But for these games I will have better gain if I process all steams or even ratio if I use only the specific type mentioned in the previous post (Maybe some game file has other stream types).

P.S: I tested the ue4 plugin (new version) and it seems to be working perfectly with the Borderlands 3 sample.

The problem isn't about ratio, the ratio you will get is the same. The problem is speed will be affected because of 10 different types of streams for xtool to look for when only one stream type exists, furthermore I don't know if I have uploaded the updated frostbite3 plugin here on the forum or on the mega link (I tend to first run tests before uploading here) but if you haven't you can check it here

In the configuration there is a note I left inside
"// FIFA 20 and NFS Heat streams are detected the same, use -mfrostbite3:fifa20 or -mfrostbite3:nfsheat to be specific"

This is the 2nd problem, basically these games are detected the same way but the compression settings used are different so being specific will produce better result.

Madness Engine

Games supported
Automobilista 2
Project Cars 1?? (someone test this plugin on this game and if it's not working, please upload a few samples)
Project Cars 2 (wait for R2)
Project Cars 3 (since bdt is buggy on this game, you can use this as an alternative) [also wait for R2]

Usage
Place madness.dll near xtool.exe along with required libraries and use -mmadness

Notes

This only decrypts streams, you have to involve zlib method and set depth to 1

zlibwapi.dll is required

If the frostbite3 link plugin is newer, it contains 2 extra files: fifa_dict and fifa_key.

The file "fifa_dict" from what I could see is used in the [Stream9] section and from what I understand XTool doesn't have dictionary support yet and you left commented out the [Stream9] section (maybe for that reason).

The file "fifa_key" is only mentioned in the [Stream5] section referring to FIFA 19.

The file "fifa_key" only needed next to XTool if using Xtool:mfifa19?
Are these files necessary to be together from XTool in decompression?

Test for the madness plugin:

Perfect. :D

perhaps that could be the reason the plugin I made is also producing weird results because its also based on the same program

fifa_key/fifa_dict in xtool are considered resource files and they are embedded along with the processed data meaning, if you use frostbite plugin, all its information (ini and its resources) are no longer needed for decompression.

The explanation was a bit technical.
I couldn't understand if only one of them needs to be with xtool, or both, or not.
Thanks!

as I mentioned before, if you never specify what codecs (or streams) to be used from a plugin, they are all enabled so this means all the files are required to be present but if they are missing, like missing key or dictionary then that codec will be disabled, for example only fifa games require key and if the key is nowhere to be found then the key that corresponds to a particular stream will be disabled, otherwise everything else will work as they don't require the files. As for decompression, none of these files are required to be present.

Unravel 1 & 2

Instructions
Use Bms2Xtl on attached script to generate database and also make use of lz4x plugin for precompression.

Example

Notes

Both lz4x.exe and liblz4.dll are required for both encoding and decoding.

@Razor12911 How to decompress Unreal.dll method on xtool v18?
Unreal.dll is with xtool.exe...

Hopefully there is a fix without me needing to remake my archive all over again.

https://anonfiles.com/36M4c703uc/

Here is a sample archive. It's compressed with just mele method:

Unravel???!! Damn just when i deleted the game :(.

Here the ones i did before i deleted them.

Unravel
Unravel 2

The XZLib and precomp_mtx were used because it was giving like 100.02% or 100.01%, doesn't make a difference but i need to make every single MB count xD.
I once saw on QuickBMS web that Unravel contains LZ4 streams.

@Masquerade

You do realize your archives are obfuscated? Can't open because of FA protect.

used 0.3.18, I haven't touched oodle nor the 2nd method of ue4 for this game since 0.3.13

Apologies, I thought I uploaded a clean archive.

Are the --dbase and --dedup parts required? I don't have those in my packcmd and the archive will not decompress.

no they are not, I just put the plugin near xtool after unpacking without really checking what command lines were used and it just works, and to confirm. I removed both --dedup and --dbase and still works.

Maybe send an archive without protection and I'll check

Guys guys, make sure that if there were any libraries used during compression that they are also present during decompression.

I was being specific that only database files (xtl) and configuration files (ini) are the ones that can be discarded. ;)

I did some tests with the Unravel plugin.
These ratio results are normal (only inflate) for Unravel game?

For Unravel Two I always get the same error below 1% precompression:
I'm trying to compress the entire game folder.
PS: The files needed for precompression are together from XTool.
https://i.imgur.com/P4EmYVP.png

I tried to replicate the test with only .bat file but it didn't compress.
I attached the test using the .bat file I used.
https://i.imgur.com/JIi11yL.png

If anyone knows what I did wrong, let me know.

Edit:
he results obtained for the final game "Unravel" were:

quick test
unravel 1
3.17gb to 4.68gb using munravel1 -c64mb without --dedup
then srep+lolz from 4.68gb to 2.04gb nothing rip include trial exe
srep:m3f:d1g:a2+lolz:mt4:mtt1:d128:fba4096:mc1023: pc4:gm20:dtb1:x2

unravel 2
6.76gb to 10.1gb using munravel2 -c32mb without --dedup
then srep+lolz from 10.1gb to 3.5gb...
srep:m3f:d1g:a2+lolz:mt4:mtt1:d128:fba4096:mc1023: pc4:gm20:dtb1:x2

decompress without error...

@Razor12911, about my previous post, I would like to inform you that the plugin is working with UnravelTwo just installed the game.
What happened was that I had the game installed on my system and with a PT-BR (tribogamer) translation applied.
The translation modifies 2 files in the D3D11kits folder (Data.kit and Data.kit.0).
I only tested including files in a "Pack" folder and there were no errors when compressing the "Data.kit" file.
Another file from the "D3D11\V" folder (0A6917B6) gives errors when compressing if I remove "Data.kit.0" from the game folder (this 0A6917B6 file has not been modified).
If I remove both files "0A6917B6" and "Data.kit.0" from the game folder no errors occur.
If you want to do some future checking in the plugin HERE is the sample of files changed by the translation and also the file "0A6917B6" (original file that had errors when it was in the folder).
PS: Unravel 1 also had the PT-BR translation applied and the plugin worked perfectly with modified files.

I Cannot Pack Unravell 1 with the Given BAT File...Anyone Another Bat that Goes on?

Make sure you have the updated xtool along with the required libraries and the game files should be original.

Upload the xtl files produced.

But...FC3_main.fat - don't work..

Compressed 20 files, 7,065,329,260 => 9,449,481,150 bytes. Ratio 133.74%
Compression time: cpu 13.34 sec/real 824.47 sec = 2%. Speed 8.57 mB/s
All OK

hotfix uploaded

FC3_main

1.41GB compressed streams found and inflated to 2.49GB, not sure if I missed a few. Confirm size with DELZORec

Tested on Samurai Shodown and doesn't work, xtool doesn't precompress. Maybe the plugin was not able to decrypt the pak.

Tested xtool 0.3.9 + unrealengine_R3 and works.

@Razor12911
1) Do you have any forecast when we will have all the plugins updated and working with the current version of XTool?
I ask because when I have everyone I will share a new version of DiskSpan_GUI.

2) I would also like to know if you can use the parameters mixed with xtool.
See the example below where <key> will be the decryption key for the unreal engine 4 game.
The blue part is the default part, the other parts are always inserted in the first parameter according to whether the checkbox is checked or not in DiskSpan_GUI.
3) The method presets in the XTool.ini file still work as before in the current XTool version, or must be converted to the current mode by separating the parameters with commas.
Thanks!

@Razor12911

Hi. Please can you check the new format files "ucas" (unreal) from the game "SCARLET NEXUS" ?

The encryption key is:

0x48AE8311350417BDC50A440FCD0E98B2FA6BCEAE3EDA8D0E 24881F205E6C4540

maybe you can make some decryptor. Thanks.

9GB lel, The first 100MB of the file should be fine.

Ok i changed the link ;)

Plugin(s) updated

Changes

- Updated Frostbite 3 engine plugin to add support for encrypted streams (FIFA 20, not sure if support is properly added, don't have game..)
- Updated bethesda and hitman plugin to support xtool v0.3.20+


@Cesar82

1) Uploaded some updates, I couldn't upload more after this because I think I broke the forum. It doesn't allow me to edit this post so I couldn't make changes.
Each time I press Go Advanced for better edit, I get sent to the home page.

2) This usage is correct, as long as in arc.ini the option part looks like this { -option}

3) I have removed this feature as I replaced it with the feature in your 2nd question.

@L0v3craft

wtf is this format? XD

I'll look at it when I have more time, I'm a bit busy lately.

The bethesda and hitman plugin posts still continue with the old version.

This happened to me a few days ago.
Whenever I tried to send a PM response to a specific user I was redirected to the main page.
Then I tested sending to other users and it was working.
I sent another message with different content to the same user and the message sent normally.
Was necessary to change the content removing quotes from the question I was answering and the message sent.
