@admin/mod please check what the problem is

Just so I understand exactly what you want to do, do you want the attachments in 'THIS' post (Post #161) to be moved to Post #4?

Thanks for the updates.
1) Is there still another plugin "Ubisoft Dunia 2 Engine" to be updated, or with these post files all plugins are already working with XTool 0.3.20+?
2) These plugins are new plugins for "Far Cry 3 R1" and "Far Cry 4 R1" and
how should they be used (-mfc3 and -mfc4)?
3) This plugin "tc2" is "The Crew 2 R3" (Before "The Crew 2" was always with full name in the zip, so the doubt)?
4) Which library LZ4 (or other) should be used together with fc3 and fc4? The same liblz4.dll version used with the fc5 plugin?

The key is the same for both pak and ucas.

This format is also seen in Fortnite?

Scarlet Nexus

Usage
Place scarletnexus.xtl and scarletnexus.key near xtool.exe along with required libraries and use -mscarletnexus+zlib (can replace with reflate or preflate)

Notes

You can discard xtl and key file when decoding
-d1 is required

@Cesar82

1) There is still more to be updated
2) Yes, they should be used like that
3) When it comes to xtl/ini files, they can be renamed to whatever you please just know that for them to be used in xtool, the name has to match. The same cannot be said with dlls, dlls can be renamed too but the internal codec name does not change.
4) Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 both require lzo2.dll, doesn't matter which version. As lzo isn't like lz4 whereby data compressed with different version also differs.

Ahh he is a man of many talents.

I couldn't see an issue with why you couldn't edit the post, must have just been some type of glitch

Thanks! However I have generated the two files using the "Unreal Engine ucas Database maker" + XTool 0.3.21 and these commands:

xtool.exe precomp -mscarletnexus+zlib+reflate -d1 -c128mb -t100p --dbase $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

XTool has precompressed all the ucas files (10.0GB) to 14.2GB. Someone said to me that all the ucas files unpacked are 22GB or so. So XTool is not detecting all the streams?

XTool 0.3.21 + ScarletNexus db R2

The Fitgirl Repack uses IDW Tools and AES for the reconstruction.

Is it possible with the database files to get better game compression?

I attempted to use the unity plugin for the game "The Fall". 0/0 streams, file comes out the same size.

Will test other unity games and report back.

Edit:
Unless I am using the plugin incorrectly but I will write down what I used to attempt to precompress the game:
xtool version 0.3.21
liblz4.dll and unity.dll are right next to xtool.exe.

The games you mentioned - "The Fall", "Green Hell" do not contain files that are compressed by lz4. The unity plugin is for things like Unity Asset Bundles and Data.unity3d files which are compressed.

Files such as .resource, *.assets and .resS are 99% of the time uncompressed.
