ndarc - pack and unpack psarc files

ndarc

Command line tool that can unpack and create psarc files with support for ZLib, Oodle, and DirectStorage (LZ4).

It has only been tested on TLOUP1 and TLOUP2R PC, but should work for any game that uses psarc files

May run into issues with the DirectStorage format, it has not been extensively tested

drag and drop:

- to unpack, drag a psarc file onto ndarc

- to create, drag a psarc file onto ndarc (drag and drop creation defaults to DirectStorage)

usage:

ndarc <command>

commands:

-h, --help        show this help message

-l, --list        list files in the psarc manifest

-e, --extract     extract psarc archive

-c, --create      create psarc archive from folder (default lz4/directstorage compression)

options:

-z, --zlib        use zlib compression

-d, --dstorage    use lz4 (directstorage) compression

-oo, --oodle      use oodle compression

-o, --output      specify output file/directory

examples:

ndarc -e "C:\game\bin.psarc"                  extracts contents to bin_unpacked

ndarc -e "C:\game\bin.psarc" -o "C:\output"   extracts contents to specified folder

ndarc -c "C:\mods\coolmod"                    creates coolmod.psarc using lz4 (directstorage) compression

ndarc -c "C:\mods\coolmod" -z                 creates coolmod.psarc using zlib compression

ndarc -c "C:\mods\coolmod" -oo                creates coolmod.psarc using oodle compression

ndarc -c "C:\mods\coolmod" -o "C:\d\e.psarc"  creates archive at specified location

If you want to use drag and drop and specify an output folder (or drag and drop for other compression types), create a .bat script similar to this, then drag your folder onto the batch script:

if "%~1"=="" (

echo no folder was dragged onto this batch file

echo usage: drag a folder onto this batch file to process it

REM Change -d to -oo or -z for oodle and zlib compression

"C:\path\to\ndarc.exe" -c "%~1" -o "C:\path\to\output\folder" -d
