Try this

ztool h:xxxx

xxx means pzlib,plz4,plzo,pzstd

One more question
 

Why ztool doesnt show progress.

How to set password for the archive?

http://facebook.github.io/zstd/

The only game that currently uses the Zstd stream is Mass Effect: Andromeda

Nope. FIFA 17 is also using zstd.

Hai hi
 

I tried to use ztool on farcry primal and lords of the fallen but it seems to not work on them.

Use GFS to know which method of ZTool should be used

What about the progress? is it visible?

Indirectly shown by fa, because ZTool works with stdio

Request
 

I request everybody to post the list of games supported by ztool.
Thanks in advance.

Doesn't work on AC2, ACB+ACR not tested, but should be same because of same engine.

Hi everybody

Here is arc.ini for plz4 use with ztool


[External Compressor: ztool]
header = 0
packcmd = ZTool e plz4:l9:t#:b#k:ct#:st#:cm#m:c#m <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = ZTool d plz4:t8 <stdin> <stdout>


# being values to be replaced (ct8:st50:cm128m ....)

I personnaly use: ZTool e plz4:l9:t2 <stdin> <stdout>

for help open command prompt and type :ztool h:plz4
and you'll have a short description of available compress/decompress switches


By the way, I would like to give endless respect to master in the person of Razor, and thx him a thousand times for all he brought to us with such a genuin work.
I am really sorry for what happened to you, Dedsec and the whole reality team, this is unfair and deeply unrespectfull but this is how life is. I can ensure you that I will and so will my team, always give you credits for using this and other tools of yours...this is the least we can do.

If it can help in any way :

I have been tested Plz4 on COD IW and it doesn't work well on imagefiles.pak : I mean it does the deflate job by finding lz4 headers (26 GB --> 42GB -l9 recompression) and it can compress ok but then it always fails at decomp with a crc error after total decomp of file (file is installed and size is ok but crc is wrong : (

It worked only on 5 files out of 29 ( 600 MB out of 26 GB : ( ....

I have tried with another lz4lib.dll (1.7.5 885KB update from lz4 package on github works ok), I have tried all possible settings and even tried with splitted files to check if it was a matter of file size being to big! I have tried with xz, lzma, even lz4 ...

nada, it doesn't want to decomp without a crc error at the end of file unpacking

PLZ4 works ok with assets.pak files 4.8 GB -> 1.4 GB ...

PLZ4 works ok with .FF (fastfile) eventhough it does not like to be mixed with other extensions (.FF only at compression : no problem at decomp / .FF+assets.pak at compression : crc error at decomp) ...5.8 GB --> 2.7 Gb

I could only get plz4 working ok on assets.pak and .ff files by compressing them separately.

Hope it will help you Razor updating your tool, eventhough we won't ever see this update ... I will always support and respect the great man you are ...even if you are still using depli language ...lol :)

I had crc errors with pzlib3.
Then modified arc.ini/compression setting from stdin/out to tempfile and voila!
No more CRC errors !

Maybe this is the source of errors. Give it a shot...
And let me know the result,okay?
Thanks !

Already tried $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp instead of <stdin> <stdout> and still same crc error at decomp only (plz4 codec)

I tried with 1.7.5 version of lz4lib.dll and still same error ...I believe problem comes from ztool exe itself ....but I am no expert , just my opinion : )

And for those who are still wondering .... Inno script handles it perfectly and I have proper progress bar showing with wpi 3.1 Razor's script : )
