This reminds me myself when I started... some 2? years back. I too was extracting those batch files from SYS_TMP dir, thinking I figured FitGirl out.

Here is the thing: Until you properly learn Quickbms including scripting and deeper knowledge of various game data packs, how to dump them but more importantly how to reinject to them with CRC match(for which you almost certainly need another compression tool as quickbms doesnt 1:1 most of the time), you will NEVER come even close to FitGirl level. Ever. And if you dont have a clue what I was saying above, then even more so.

Razor's xtool/ztool can sort of get you there for certain games, but thats what every n00b can do: xtool...+srep+...lzma/lolz.

FitGirl is way beyond that, she can work out pretty much every(at least non-encrypted) data pack in case those^ tools don't work. Whats more, she brute test different compression algos on different data to get most of it, beyond of (most peoples) typical (and ridiculous) srep+lolz:mc1000000000000000000000, or whatever have you. And working with inside data directly give us another benefit, which is options to skip languages and other stuff for example.

So what you discovered is pretty much... nothing. Just some random parallel ppx tool running some other "whatever" exe. You still won't know what she really did with those data packs(even if you figure out what those exe's are), what compression they use, how she decompressed and recompressed back, whether she nulled, cloned or ripped unwanted data to keep game from crashing, how she figured out what kind of format data packs use, what compression etc...

So you see, its nothing to see really there. If you(anyone) truly wish to become FitGirl, one *really* need to search that "quickbms" thing and digest every info possible, especially those countless scripts. Then and only then, you just *may* become a JEDI. and thus you may come close(r) to making those repacks like her, but neither you, nor me nor anyone will ever be like her. She is the Best repacker bar none that ever existed on the s.c.e.n.e and whoever say otherwise is either her direct competitor and/or adversary.
