For me it doesn't work. When I try to open either the .exe file or the batch file, they boot up for a split second then imediately close on themselves (I use Windows 10 pro 64 bit)

You have to move the arc file into the exe/batch file, not open the exe/batch.

EDIT: I tried to do as you told me (tried to unpack the ep02.arc of REmake) but all I got was this screen:
While inside the pl folder another folder named "ep02" popped out and inside that there were this file structure: ep02\model\pl\pl02
And inside that last folder there was a file named "pl02_jacket_BM.241F5DEB" I honestly don't know what to do

Zethras mmm you don't have a pc bat file for this game? Because I see in your image that looks like if you are using a ps360 bat. I don't remember how it does, but maybe was moving the pcbat file into the arctool to change the settings? Sorry, I don't remember

I don't suppose there's a source code available?

Hey, sorry to bother. I'm trying to run a batch script since I'm editing many files at the same time, I was able to cobble together, from a very old script a way to batch-extract multiple ARC files in a go, here is the code:
@echo off
:: Command file for batch export using the arctool.
::-----------------------------------------------
:: Specify the tool.
set arctool=arctool.exe
:: Specify directory with files.
set game_dir=
:: Specify file extensions.
set file_mask=*.arc *.tex
:: Specify the options.
set options=-dd -texRE6 -alwayscomp -pc -txt -v 7 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8 %9
::-----------------------------------------------
:: set arctool=echo arctool
if "%file_mask%" == "" set file_mask=*.
:: export from the current directory by default
if "%game_dir%" == "" set game_dir=.
:: Process ...
for /r "%game_dir%" %%a in (%file_mask%) do call :process "%%a"
goto :eof
::-----------------------------------------------
:: Function to process single package
::-----------------------------------------------
:process
echo Processing %1 ...
%arctool% %options% %1
Problem is, I can't seem to be able to repack them back, and the few times I left the generic directory search, the log file says it couldn't repack the files because it couldn't read them properly and ends up creating a 32KB file with a bunch of random symbols.
Anyone has advice in this regard? Cheers in advance!

For people asking for new features or support for new MTF games, then I'm sorry but I'm basically seeing arctool as a finished project. I'm more motivated to work on RE Engine stuff (engine used in RE2 and DMC5) than go back to MTF projects. There is a tiny chance I'll go back to arctool periodically (I did update it recently with support for Dragon's Dogma Online), but that will be rare. I don't suppose there's a source code available? For licensing reasons of some libraries I use (also, the code is a mess as it was my second time working on an archive unpacker/repacker) I can't share the full source code. But I can share code snippets of specific features. Hey, sorry to bother.

set file_mask=*.arc *.tex

I'm not sure what's going wrong in your case. You could show an example of what command the batch file ends up making when it tells arctool to create an ARC. I'll also just link this as sometimes you need to do very specific formatting of file or directory paths when making batch files: www.robvanderwoude.com/parameters.php

Sorry, I should have been specific. I'm trying to tell "set file_mask=*." to basically pack the loose folders only (and any files in them, like DDS) back. It repacks the DDS correctly, but stops packing the loose folder as a whole (shows a bunch of random characters, then quits).
Is there a command or letter that I might be missing, to tell it to pack only loose folders?

Arctool will always try to pack any loose folder if that's given as command line argument. I'll be able to help better if I can see an example of a full arctool command line which is failing.
