If you want to use modified xtool version to precompress this game you can use the attachment.

Keep in mind that this xtool version only works with this particullar game. Don't use it on any other game.

Use method

xtool:mue3+...

Use method

xtool:mue3+...

So, what exactly we should do!??

[KaktoR]

What is the exact error message?

I tried with

xtool:mue3+srep+LZMA-MT

because :dd3 option gave an error here. It worked.

Also do not use bink plugin here because the bink files from this game are currently not compressable with the bink plugin (see file header).

Just make two archives:
Data1: *.tfc|*.upk|*.war
Data2: all other files

It still returns error . . .

Sorry, use this and replace

Edit: If you encounter errors on srep, try changing the srep settings or use rep+srep
On my second pc this error occurs.

[fabrieunko]

Thank you, I did it with srep and got an error, I did it again with rep+srep and it worked.
Thank you very much Kaktor
