Yes I understand and its not a big deal so feel free to leave it as is.
From what I know common practice in apps is to assume both stdin and stdout if both filenames are omitted, while if only one stream is std as you pointed out then '-' have to be used to differentiate.

It's the most stable atm. Xtool 2019 is currently in active development, has bugs and I wouldn't recommend it for daily use or for public repacks. Wait until Razor will fix all major issues.

last time i used different xtool for pack/unpack i got error...
better to use the same xtool ver for pack/unpack...

KaktoR

15-08-2019 02:17

I have many archives with xtool 0.9 and i can unpack them with 0.12 without problems.

doofoo24

15-08-2019 02:48

if i remember correctly it was on mass effect 3 i got error during install after checking i noticed that xtool was different ver form the one during packing...
but i don't remember which ver, maybe the opposite of what you did i packed with newer ver and using old ver for unpack...

This will be a job for a universal lz4 precompressor but not at the moment because lz4 is a piece of shit when it comes to that department, as you can see in the screenshot I uploaded.

gives two byte header "F2 00" that I have no idea what it means then followed by parts of the original data, "44 44 53 20" which is a header for a dds texture which means lz4hc was indeed used but that's it. no game engine headers located or anything that could help for me to be able to add support.

headers are at the end of file
zenhax.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=1663
and pak files are splitted
like:
Textures.pak
Textures_1.pak
Textures_2.pak
it is one big archive

I use this method: xtool+srep+delta+lolz

xtool v011

I'm having the same error when using zlib, I have tried all xtool versions x86/x64, all combinations old+new/same versions, compressing with only 1 thread, with different chunk sizes.

Any ideas ?

my compression cmd:

Code:

arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ Data\Setup-1.bin -mxprecomp+srep_x64:m3f+lolz:d256m:mtb256:mc1023:mtt1:mt8 "D:\TEST\TESTGAME\*"

my arc.ini:

Code:

[External compressor:xprecomp]

header = 0

packcmd   = xtool.exe e:precomp:c128mb,t1:zlib $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

unpackcmd = xtool.exe d:precomp:t1 $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp



[External compressor:srep_x64]

header = 0

packcmd   = srep_x64 {options} -s907374182400 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

unpackcmd = srep_x64 -d -s $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp



[External compressor:lolz]

header     = 0

packcmd    = "lolz_x64" {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

unpackcmd  = cls-lolz_x64.exe $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

datafile   = $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

packedfile = $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

Try percent instead of threads for xtool

Code:

packcmd = xtool.exe e:precomp:c128mb,t50p:zlib $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

From 1 to 100

Sims 4, right?

You have to exclude these two files

Code:

Game\Bin\Core\QtWebKit4.dll

Game\Bin_LE\Core\QtWebKit4.dll

I wasn't able to unpack this files either. Just include this files into a seperate archive or include to Setup.exe

jenning

18-03-2020 13:15

Would never guess the compressor had problem with this certain files and not due to my configs. Thank you! was trying to fix it whole day...

I have only one issue to solve, the progress bar for lolz_x64 is not working with my old setup. Any suggestions what files / code need updating ? by my own it will probably take me a week to find the issue..

Can you guys give a list of issues xtool has, I'll try to patch them. Also if possible provide samples.

I'm giving the project another try since it seems like people are still interested in it.

No promises, even with quarantine going on, it should mean that I have time to make changes but then I use this time to sleep (Lazy af these days, not sure why) XD

Code:

- Big input with oodle codec does not work

  > xtool just won't precompress all files

- The same for FC5 lz4hc codec

  > File by file works, all files together just stops inflating

- Crilayla codec always will give crc error when unpack is greater then t75p

  > t50p works all the time

I think there a some more. I just wrote what I remember this fast :D

Two games I have experienced issues with xtool:
Darksiders
Red Faction Guerilla Remarstered

I don't remember exactly which files were problematic.

28-04-2020 07:30

sorry but this is a little confusing, what xtool version should i use?

this one:

https://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=102832

or the 0.12?

This thread seems to have more activity, that's why i'm asking.

Thanks.

devil777

28-04-2020 11:09

Mr.artag, use this version

artag

28-04-2020 14:02

oh thanks!! i was using the other one!!
and another question, what about CriLayla games (bayoneta), the codec is not present on the las version, should i use a previous version or that means that the codec is unstable? thanks!
Edit: oh i just saw i'ts only for 32b

Edit:
You guys should also make sure you use the program correctly, I downloaded a game the other day and I was wondering why the heck I can't use my PC but turns out 25 threads were enabled, like wtf. RIP my quad core cpu... :o

Hi

I'm not really sure how to explain this is such but here goes:

- Using the crilayla codec on XTool v0.12, I am facing decompression issues where XTool seems to crash and sits idle in task manager. I am running a CPU with 16 threads and Xtool is given all 16 of them to play with. Would limiting the threads help at all? I've seen that 16 copies of the crilayla dll is created during installation, I understand this is 1 copy per thread. The game in question is The Wonderful 101 Remastered.

- Other times, using zlib codec, the same issue occurs. This is with both the x86 or x64 version of 0.12.

I'm not sure what to try in order to fix this.

Thank you in advance.

Try t2 ot t25p. It works all the time. It's a known issue.

Tried both limits and same crash at the same point in both scenarios, just takes longer to reach that point because the threads are limited.

Hola masquerade.... hope you're doing well

Will you please try Pzlib v3 with m2:x+srep+lolz

It'll be okay... but don't forget to add the "libraries" with the binaries though they are in optional folder.

Both Pzlib v3 and Xtool is the offering by razor12911

But if you find that m2:x (best as razor had told) takes much longer , try m2:t1 or m2:t2

And Pzlib v3 doesn't have any stdin/stdout bug.I know Pzlib is off-topic for xzlib.. but dang that works well

Has issues with some Unity Engine based games like Tin & Kuna, Trollhunters - Defenders of Arcadia, and New Super Lucky's Tale?

I tried using the lz4 codec but it failed.

But some had custom compression on them.

Edit: New XTool works.

Could someone tell me what's wrong with this file?

XTool just stop working on this (no cpu/ram load), no matter what settings I use.

This is from Anno 1800

there must be a single stream that decompresses to more than 2gb.
that ratio is very unusual 11443%
