Some of the WEM files are riffwave pcm so you can use msc on them (the big ones). All other use wemtool.

Movie files are webm so just use srep and something fast.

[Jarmen_Kell]

Any suggested method for ".dat" files?
"mmgsrr" and "msonicf" will returnes error and "mcrilayla" is useles on them.

[KaktoR]

One post above yours.

Replace xtool.exe (only use it for this game).

xtool:mgdeflate:dd3+LZMA-MT

41.8GB

Not such useful mwthod. just take way mory time for same compression size.

[KaktoR]

Same compression size? With what method you got 41.8GB or less?

54.6GB -> 41.8GB

Whith what method do you get this if not gdeflate?

[hwang4]

[KaktoR]

Replace xtool.exe in this folder from DSG "Resources\Win64\PRE\XTool_2020" with the one from the above link, then use xtool:mgdeflate
