He is eventually going to use .bat files in future, taking long methods may help build more experience.

Sorry if this is obvious, but what exactly is

Code:

xtool_ue3_mele

I'm guessing it's an xtool plugin specific to the title "Mass Effect Legendary Edition", but was just wondering what exactly it does.

Yes. It is the plugin shared by Razor12911 in this #post.
The information shared by KaktoR is information used in DiskSpan_GUI (so it used "xtool_ue3_mele" and "srep_new").

Thank you for this! I wonder why the developers of the title chose to use a different compression technique, (I'm guessing lzo & oodle) when the assets don't seem to have changed all that drastically (although I've only seen trailers for the title so I'm probably wrong)! Seems a bit strange.

Hello, Do you guys know what is the best way to compress The Binding of Issac Afterbirth? I've been having quite some trouble recently with it. Thanks

Optimal method is to unpack the game archives, but currently the unpack tool has outdated file list leading to incorrect data unpacking and missing files meaning you;ll have a broken game.

Aw man, that sucks. What is the next best way to compress the game then?
