I'm going to use cls-ue4d by Shegorat, but XTool unreal plugin should also do the decryption.

So, ue4 decrypt with key
Then add zlib precompressor, srep and lolz.

Devs were nasty and put videos inside the pak with compression and encryption. Sounds are also encrypted but you should just be able to patch the encrypted data out using QuickBMS + Unreal script to print a filelist which will give you the locations of the different sound banks.

Sackboy: A Big Adventure

AES Key

I think all *.pak is encrypted but not compressed.

Too many SREP versions. Any variants, not compatible from decompression, in vice-versa packed in SREP 3.2 or SREP 3.90/3.9x during in compression. Any case, not unpackaeble these data package via ProFrager's 0.33 version or any CLS-based copy's. Native bigger EXE's ~99.99% its works. (Official Bulat's release or "SR" iconized newest version EXE its solved in more problems.)

These X64.exe found from "cls_srep_v0.03b.rar" and "ISArcEx v0.4 + Test.rar" files. Two package contains X86 version EXE and not running from XP! Used bytepaching and its is OK! These DLL file, totally missing, some tools available various versions, (UltraArc, MC 20.xx, CIU3.0.x.x or more..) this different, not found the "d30b67ba" CRC-32 hashed copy.

UPD: These versions cls filter, not fully stable from cancelling installation process, these X64 (ae1cd4f0) or patched X86 EXE crashing now, from process terminating. Original full EXE or Profrager's DLL its betterly stable. (except not supported compression methods in get decompression error.) Its probably incorrect CLS-SREP.dll file attached in the "ae1cd4f0" hashed X64 EXE file in some repacking tools archives. Checked my DVD's from any archived repacking tools, not found! The DLL its available in many recompressor package tools sets?

Here is the file list, so you don't have to create this :D

Beware, the file is 300mb in size, so open it could take a while

^^

You can use -f filter in quickbms so it will only list files that you want.

e.g.
P.S. don't rip voiceovers entirely because game will crash without them. Just patch them out to speed lolz up.

im not sure what or you did but i didnt get anywhere close to 30.8 GB my repack was 39.0 GB

i used this method:
ue4d:key=E01312D26CAD1529142D3ACA6DB25D4091C1AAFE0 C91E5DC104C36A768DB1E50+xtoolx+srep+lolz <- xtoolx in this cause was unreal.dll


thanks

Sigh. You have space symbol in AES key.

Hello can you help me I can not find the same setting with DSG
*.pak - ue4d+xtool(zlib)+srep+lolz

This game has very few streams. I guess only decrypt the files and use srep+lolz would have the same ratio.

*.ff, *.fp, *.xsub -> kraken (use oo2core_8)

American Truck Simulator [v.1.45.3.26s + All DLCs]

Latest XTool used with -mzlib only (no reflate).
Use -lm due to incredibly huge streams being decompressed.
I have 64GB of memory so I used a 1024mb chunk size.

10.7GB ----> 6.1GB

Divinity Original Sin 2 Definitive Edition
v27.09.2022, Nothing ripped, bonus contents are included (Artbook, Lorebook, Concept Art, Soundtrack)

Paks are using lz4hc with level 9 and some reflate streams.
However not all lz4 streams can be processed.
To get a good amount of streams set --diff=20p in arc.ini (the sweatspot is somewhere between 15p and 20p, I used 20p. Above this you will get negative ratios on some files. The higher #p, the more negative ratio) and use xdelta3_dll.dll near xtool.exe

Due to false detection by xtool use preflate, not reflate. If you use reflate you will get crc errors on extraction.
For xtl creation use lspk.bms and in bms2xtl.ini set lz4=lz4hc:l9
Use liblz4 180

Maybe it's the xtool plugin. I will test with ue4d

DOOM Eternal

I made some tests but couldn't find the correct oodle library. Maybe someone find this usefull.

gameresources_0_2.streamdb
Side note: The suspicion is obvious that "oo2core_4_win64_v3" is in fact at least "oo2core_7_win64". Stream count, Ratio and file size speaks for itself I think. But I have only tested on this single sample and this should not be used as an evidence at all. Libraries from this post.

Doom Eternal uses two libraries on this file however I'm not sure if this applies to the whole game.

oo2core_7_win64.dll -> 283 MB > 421 MB (691/1332)
oo2core_8_win64.dll -> 283 MB > 479 MB (790/1332)

For some reasons, streams that can be processed 7 cannot be processed by 8 and visa versa.

However if you precompress the game using both libraries one after the other you get

283 MB > 421 MB > 614 MB

The second pass using oo2core_8_win64.dll processed the remaining streams (640/640).

This is part of the reason I added --oodle= parameter in xtool, to allow you to specify exactly what library you want to use.

Your arc.ini then looks like this then you run the method

-mdoom7+doom8

HARVESTELLA

Use oo2core_9_win64 in attachment to get all streams.

PS: You can use reflate on pak file to get additional ~20mb inflation.

Elden Ring is also one more game that uses 2 different oodle libraries to have 100% coverage of streams.

its best to create a massive batch to process combinations of libraries

Which libraries are best for this game?

I can't get more. I have tested the first 200mb from Data0.bdt

Edit: Here is another test for Data3.bdt

Maybe you get more out of it using n# option

Oodle libraries used: v2.5.5 (xtool1) + v2.8.14 (xtool2)

xtool options: l6,n64

Does anyone know how BMP detection under MSC works? Got a few titles I'm working on that mainly use BMP images for texture assets, however MSC seems to skip over the majority of files. I had a brief trawl through some posts here but searching with shorter search terms is a massive pain in the arse and didnt yield a lot of information.

Maybe the thread on Krinkels.org may help you?

Saints Row (2022)

Notes:
- Majority of *.resources files using level 4, majority of *.texdb and *.cache using level 5. I was too lazy to sort them out properly so I didn't use the l# option for xtool.
- On many files I didn't got all kraken streams, I checked with every library I have and even used different libraries with --oodle= option like with Elden Ring but to no avail.
- *.pages files using lz4hc but most likely weak compression, but couldn't get all streams (overall about half of streams), so I decided to just compress them with srep+lzma.

Unlike it's original variant, paks in Crysis 3 Remastered are not encrypted. They are just standard zip files and can be precompressed with xtool:
