How do you find out?
Also what I'm looking for is some sort of tool that you can take Unity assets off of and precompress, and during install they're decompressed and put back on the Unity files. Is it possible?

You can use the XTool unity plugin to precompress lz4 compressed Unity Asset Bundles.

I extract the DataPC.forge file using quickBMS script and after that i try to put them back into where it was using raw injector but it doesn't work out because the all extracted *.dat files doesn't have the same hexadecimals address so my question is how do i solve this & why blocks are isn't the same?

Trying to find the 87.dat block Start Offset and End Offset in DataPC.forge using HxD

But it doesn't work out?

Can someone look at this kind of files and what I can do with them? They have "RIFF8-��WAVEfmt".

Not sure what it is. VGMStream cannot detect what it is and wwise2ogg will only give a 17kb output.
