Scarlet Nexus

Usage
Place scarletnexus.xtl and scarletnexus.key near xtool.exe along with required libraries and use -mscarletnexus+zlib (can replace with reflate or preflate)

Notes

You can discard xtl and key file when decoding
-d1 is required

@Cesar82

1) There is still more to be updated
2) Yes, they should be used like that
3) When it comes to xtl/ini files, they can be renamed to whatever you please just know that for them to be used in xtool, the name has to match. The same cannot be said with dlls, dlls can be renamed too but the internal codec name does not change.
4) Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 both require lzo2.dll, doesn't matter which version. As lzo isn't like lz4 whereby data compressed with different version also differs.

Ahh he is a man of many talents.

I couldn't see an issue with why you couldn't edit the post, must have just been some type of glitch

Thanks! However I have generated the two files using the "Unreal Engine ucas Database maker" + XTool 0.3.21 and these commands:

xtool.exe precomp -mscarletnexus+zlib+reflate -d1 -c128mb -t100p --dbase $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

XTool has precompressed all the ucas files (10.0GB) to 14.2GB. Someone said to me that all the ucas files unpacked are 22GB or so. So XTool is not detecting all the streams?

The Fitgirl Repack uses IDW Tools and AES for the reconstruction.

Is it possible with the database files to get better game compression?

I attempted to use the unity plugin for the game "The Fall". 0/0 streams, file comes out the same size.

Will test other unity games and report back.

Edit:
Unless I am using the plugin incorrectly but I will write down what I used to attempt to precompress the game:
xtool version 0.3.21
liblz4.dll and unity.dll are right next to xtool.exe.

The Fall

Code:
xtool precomp -munity+preflate -c32mb -t100p-1 -d1 --dbase --dedup "packed\data.arc" packed.xt
XTool is created by Razor12911

Am I testing this correctly?

The games you mentioned - "The Fall", "Green Hell" do not contain files that are compressed by lz4. The unity plugin is for things like Unity Asset Bundles and Data.unity3d files which are compressed.

Files such as .resource, *.assets and .resS are 99% of the time uncompressed.

Thank you for letting me know this. My heart rests at ease. But do you know which unity games are compressed with lz4?

I know XTool works with Minute Of Islands. Games with data.unity3d such as Skul The Hero Slayer are also compressed but XTool doesn't support such versions of unity yet.

Hoping Razor12911 will and add more support to the plugin

Project Cars 2 (wait for R2)
Project Cars 3 (since bdt is buggy on this game, you can use this as an alternative) [also wait for R2]

Usage
Place madness.dll near xtool.exe along with required libraries and use -mmadness

Notes

This only decrypts streams, you have to involve zlib method and set depth to 1

zlibwapi.dll is required
Does not work with PCars 1

Samples / Some more samples

Nothing could change when I'm using the latest of XTool v0.3.21. Try to repack the games "Saiko no Sutoka"
.assets, .resS, and .resource

using -munity with the plugin unity.dll and lz4.dll next to xtool.exe

Code:
Compressed 18 files, 621,696,943 => 621,697,130 bytes. Ratio 100.00%
Compression time: cpu 0.80 sec/real 14.58 sec = 5%. Speed 42.65 mB/s
All OK
