The DioField Chronicle

DFC-WindowsNoEditor.pak

Code:

ue4d:key=15E3110F40A348CFCC989F0A7A5506B6DE13942DB2F2F8C07F0D640968F9AF26+xtool_kraken_dedup5+lolz

Everything else:
Code:
```
razor
```

Thanks to Shegorat for UE4D library and Razor12911 for XTool library.

Oodle Core v2.9.5 used (v2.9.6 has outrageous memory issues).

22.8GB ---> 18.8GB

Compression Time: 9 hours.

Not worth it with lolz due to very little amount of space saved, best just use LZMA

The Outer Worlds Spacer's Choice

kraken

pakchunk15-WindowsNoEditor.pak

Code:

Library loaded: v2.8.14\oo2core_8_win64.dll

Streams: 64668/64668
Time: 00:09:47 (00:57:18)
Memory: 479 MB (479 MB)

Results: 7.47 GB >> 15.0 GB

It seems that you can also use v2.9.2/2.9.5/2.9.6 libraries.

Masquerade · #**3408** 09-03-2023, 11:59

Don't use library v2.9.6, there's a memory bug.

Hello, I tried to make a repack of Halo Infinite game, an its stuck at 60% ... i don´t know why. It's the only game that this happens to me.

Here is my arc.ini settings, i use srep+lzma2

Code:

[External compressor:srep]
header    = 0
packcmd   = srep -m3f -a2 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep -d - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:lzma2]
header    = 0
packcmd   = 7z a -txz -an -mcrc=0 -m1=lzma2:d25:fb=273:mf=bt4:mc=1000000:lc=4:lp=0 -mx9 -mmt=on -si -so <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = 7z x -txz -an -y -si -so <stdin> <stdout>

Use mc=128
Or use 4x4:lzma:a1:mfbt4:32m:fb273:mc1024:lc8, it has a better ratio and speed.

Code:

Compressed 1 file, 7,120,255 => 14,068,315 bytes. Ratio 197.58%
Compression time: cpu 0.00 sec/real 30.88 sec = 0%. Speed 0.23 mB/s
All OK

However it is slow af

what the version of liblz4 and plugin ?

i'm trying unity_R6 , ratio 100%

sample attch

The Sims 4 [v1.96.365.1030 + All DLCs]

Code:

xtool_zlib_dedup5+LZMA2

56.2GB ---> 35.1GB

Not used LOLZ because it takes too long.

Diablo IV (Closed Beta)

Code:

zlib

Streams: 19842 / 19842
Time: 00:02:59 (CPU 00:02:58)
Duplicates: 0 (0.00 MB / 0.00 MB [0.00 MB])

Size: 1.00 GB >> 1.53 GB

I guess this will still the case for the release version.

Don't use MSC on The Walking Dead Saints and Sinners Chapter 2: Retribution. It will cause archive corruption.

L33THAK0R · #**3416** 23-03-2023, 17:13

Could anyone give me a bit of advice on how to properly use the UE4 XTool plugin? I'm currently using Unreal R8 with XTool 0.6.9 for a title called "The Entropy Center", but initial tests, at least to me are indicating I've somehow not managed to get XTool to decrypt the relevant ".PAK", ".UCAS" & ".UTOC" archives, I've attached an image below, if anyone could show me what I'm doing wrong I'd very much appreciate it.

Doesn't work you say, I suggest using two separate processes of xtool for this.

Sorry, I forgot change AES key in db.bat))
