*.ttarch2 (without prefixes _ms_ & _voice_) - decrypt with key and QBMS
XTool+srep+lzma2 (2019) = 35 > 13 gb
Sound and other files - srep+4x4:lzma

Install size - 45.6 gb
RePack size - 19.06 gb
Install time - 60 min.

Decrypt key

For QBMS

For ttarchext

I'm planning to make may own repack of this game version and have few questions.
Obviously game is encrypted so it won't compress well until being decrypted first. If I decrypt the game first I understand I will get decrypted and unpacked game files – does the game work properly with unpacked files? Is there anyway to compress game with decryption on the fly?

Only decrypt in new *.ttarch file..Unpack no needed

Sorry for being pain in the ass but I'm afraid I don't understand what do you mean by that. Could you explain it more? How can I take encryption off those files?

I'm using 'ttarchext.exe' tool for unpacking from zenhax forum (it has built-in encryption keys). Do I have to unpack each .ttarch2 files and then rebuilt them to take that encryption off or what?

Use a small chunk size if you're on a low amount of RAM otherwise your PC will crash.

On newer XTools use -lm param.

Does lm mean 'limited memory' ?
Its merely just a guess.

if not i would like to know what does it do.

You only need to use it if you are on a machine with low amounts of RAM, e.g. 16GB,

I use 64GB with a 256mb chunk size, no issues.

That is much appreciated, Thanks.

Also if you don't mind, where can i find information about what each parameter does?

I do know some basics, but they are just basics.
