I think he made a mistake somewhere.

My result is 133.86% too, no matter what ue4dt/xtool version I use.

Hello
Razor12911

Razor12911 · #63 22-01-2021, 09:17

The old xtool had support for mk11, lzna was used.

But if you want me to make a plugin, you'll have to provide a sample.

Here the unreal plugin tool and ue4dt show similar results, but the plugin is a little faster in 5 out of 5 tests.
P.S: CPU 4 cores and 8 Threads

Decompression:

Code:

ue4dt
FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) extracting archive: data1.arc
Extracted 1 file, 25,296,846 => 18,898,278 bytes. Ratio 133.86%
Extraction time: cpu 0.06 sec/real 0.65 sec = 10%. Speed 28.86 mB/s

unreal plugin
FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) extracting archive: data2.arc
Extracted 1 file, 25,297,425 => 18,898,278 bytes. Ratio 133.86%
Extraction time: cpu 0.03 sec/real 0.58 sec = 5%. Speed 32.63 mB/s

I wonder if I can use the unreal plugin this way?
Will I not lose any parameters (-m or -k)?

Code:

Borderlands 3 test ue4 plugin

arc.ini
[External compressor:xtool_ue4]
header    = 0
packcmd   = XTool.exe precomp -mzlib+ue4{:option} -c32mb -t100p -d1 --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = XTool.exe decode -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

pack.bat commanline
arc.exe a -ep1 -r -ed -s; -w.\temp -m"xtool_ue4:m1:k0x115EE4F8C625C792F37A503308048E79726E512F0BF8D2AD7C4C87BC5947CBA7" data.arc "pack\*"

For this test (Borderlands 3) it worked perfectly.
I tested it using other options like ue4:{option}, ue4:{options}, ue4{: options} but it didn't work.
- if use ue4:{options} or ue4:{option} not inflate (Ratio 100.00%).
- If use ue4{options} or ue4{option} or ue4{: options} show error message, ERROR: write error (disk full?) in compression algorithm...
I want to know if when a game needs the -m2 parameter it will work (maybe -m1 is the default). Using {option} implies that you will put only one parameter.
If someone can explain the differences between the 4 types of use of {:options} with arc.exe please share the information.
Thanks!

{option} in arc.ini will pass parameters as is, {options} will add - (minus) sign to parameters..so if your command line contains, for example,
arc create -mxtool+srep:m3f+lolz
you are in fact passing srep -m3f
Sad is that this is not explained anywhere, had to test it on my own to figure it out.
So your arc.ini should probably should contain
-mzlib+ue4:{option}
but in command line it should be (without quotes!)
-mxtool_ue4:m1:k0x115EE4......

With all that said, I'm not sure if your command line will work (can't test it) because this + sign in xtool combining codecs syntax is conflicting with arc syntax of combining codecs so there is a chance it can fail because of that. Change to, for example, & sign with ResourceEditor and try it with that if it fails.

Also, not sure if 0x is needed or optional before key, would like to know preferred way - with or without 0x , Razor12911?

as I already mentioned above if using ":" before "{option}" does not work (-mzlib+ue4:{option}). It only works if you use {: option}.
I will not pass the "+" character on the command line as parrametter.
The 0x character is optional for the ureal plugin, but for the uedt tool I think it is necessary to use 0x. As DiskSpan_GUI uses the same code for both (unreal plugin and uedt) so I always decided to enter 0x on the command line.
With quotes in the method it works perfectly, in the input directory -dp"directory" it is necessary to remove "" from the end if it is in quotes.

As I mentioned - I was not testing this, just saying..depending on program sometimes {:option} is needed, sometimes :{option} will work.
As for quotes, I meant "no quotes for -m parameter". Of course you need quotes with -dp etc. So your command line should be

Code:

arc.exe a -ep1 -r -ed -s; -w.\temp -mxtool_ue4:m1:k115EE4F8C625C792F37A503308048E79726E512F0BF8D2AD7C4C87BC5947CBA7 data1.arc "pack\*"

Yes, it is possible it works with " after -m but I think it is not preferred syntax.
And arc.ini probably should be (or maybe :{option} or {option})

Code:

[External compressor:xtool_ue4]
header    = 0
packcmd   = xtool.exe precomp -mzlib+ue4{:option} -d1 -c128mb -t100p --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe decode -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

Syntax is correct, if it is not working it is because of how xtool/arc handles + sign in arc.ini so unless you change combining codecs sign with ResourceEditor it will never work correctly.

@Razor12911 - use the newest liblz4 - it gets better ratio:

Newest liblz4 (v1.9.3):

Code:

Compressed 1 file, 1,329,894,358 => 1,435,849,840 bytes. Ratio 107.97%
Compression time: cpu 1.42 sec/real 31.24 sec = 5%. Speed 42.58 mB/s
All OK

Old liblz4 (comes with xtool):

Code:

Compressed 1 file, 1,329,894,358 => 1,424,410,961 bytes. Ratio 107.11%
Compression time: cpu 1.25 sec/real 29.12 sec = 4%. Speed 45.68 mB/s
All OK

Hi Razor12911!

I get only 101% for all files in Hitman 3
why?

Can you fix it!
