Should've used XTool for that?

I am still testing the XTool method, because you see there is a plugin for WDL but i had no luck recently with that. Since it uses the lz4 plugin, i used various .dll just in case i hit something.

The liblz4.dll ( 136 ) KB was the one the was giving the best results of them all.

But when i precompressed the game it was somthing like 89,344,643,34 > 93,456,234,56.

Ofcourse the values other than first two digits are just predicted as i am writing the message but you can say 89 > 93.

Thanks for your concern though.

Seems to me like a good known bug for most of the plugins from xtool.

Yeah, the same thing happens with Hitman 3 (Only individual files can be precompressed properly).
And FIFA 20 (XTool would use no CPU on files greater than 1.5 GB or some times 2.0 GB)

These are the ones i tested so far along with WDL.

American Truck Simulator [v1.40.2.0 + All DLCs]
 
Code:
xreflate+srep+lolz
Beware on using high chunk sizes due to huge streams being decompressed in XTool.

Reflate used since it gives best ratio.

6.6GB ----> 3.8GB :D

sorry if these are a silly couple of questions but with xtool what codecs did you use? The "Game File Scanner" tool shows zlib and lzo strems but I'm not sure if there are others. Also what's pmt? Never used the razor tools before sorry if thats got an obvious answer.

uelr processes the lzo streams, xtool will process the zlib streams.

PMT = parallel multithreaded tool

RZ is a single threaded compressor, so PMT splits the data input into chunks and compresses those chunks in parallel to essentially harness multithreaded operations and speed up encoding / decoding.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up with UELR, I got distracted to properly figure out what it does and wasn't sure if it handles LZO streams or did something like unpack UE3 archives. Thank you for explaining what PMT does, saved me a lot of time! It's fascinating how people are able to come up with these solutions honestly.

Hi all,

Could anyone share how to structure the compressor header for the Oodle precompressors? The only one I could find was from diskspan:

Code:
[External compressor:oo2reck3,oo2reck4,oo2reck5,oo2reck6,oo2reck7,oo2reck8]
header    = 0
unpackcmd = "Resources\OodleRec\oo2reck.exe" d $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

[External compressor:oo2recm3,oo2recm4,oo2recm5,oo2recm6,oo2recm7,oo2recm8]
header    = 0
unpackcmd = "Resources\OodleRec\oo2recm.exe" d $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

[External compressor:oo2recs3,oo2recs4,oo2recs5,oo2recs6,oo2recs7,oo2recs8]
header    = 0
unpackcmd = "Resources\OodleRec\oo2recs.exe" d $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
However I'm fairly sure you're meant to reference which .ddl for the application to use but I'm not sure how to go about this. As a side question that's not as appropriate for this thread, if anyone could tell me the correct syntax for the header for use with ASIS, I'd greatly appreciate it.

You can use the {compressor} constant (freearc constant, not inno constant) to fit multiple tools with the same packcmd into one command:

Code:
[External compressor:oodlereck, oodlrecm, oodlerecs]
header = 0
packcmd = {compressor} e <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = {compressor} d <stdin> <stdout>
Precompress the game using the Oodle core dll that the game comes with. Only some games require a different core to the one that ships (like Sekiro). Same dll used for precomp is also needed for decomp.
