It's better to use ZTool more cautiously
There are bugs in multithreaded like ZTool
Also, ZTool is much weaker than PZlib in deflate streams.

Compressed BF4 with Ztool-plz4 from 68GB to 33.7GB. Plz4:l1:t6+srep+lzma

Decompressor is unfinished? It works but stuck at end without closing correctly and need to force close in task manager. I only tested BF4 with plz4 for now.


Anyway thanks Razor for this great tool. The best developer for repacking tools.

Use
plz4+srep+lzma

[External compressor:pzlib,plz4,plzo,pzstd]
header = 0
packcmd = ZTool\ZTool e:{compressor}:t25p{:option} - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = ZTool\ZTool d:{compressor}{:option}:t90p:f:cm256mb - - <stdin> <stdout>

No deal. All files are decompressed fine and works but at end Ztool.exe keep pending and dont close by itself if i dont kill process with task manager. There is something strange.

Maybe i should run it as Admin? I'll try.

It's a bug of ZTool. I also saw it in Reality Repack's Installer that, after finishing installation Installer closes but ZTool keeps running.
To solve this problem you must write a Taskkill code for ZTool on clicking cancel button.

ZTool is not weaker than pZLib but stronger. Some parameters of ZTool is different from pZLib.
For example: The "- x" parameter is used for max settings in pZLib but to use the max settings in ZTool the parameter is different.

pZlib in ZTool is much optimized than original pZlib

Use default in decompress "unpackcmd = ZTool d:pzlib{:option} - - <stdin> <stdout>" ;)

@78372 i installed mu OS recently i wanted to use ztool nothing was installed to the system no drivers no redists so i started compressing with ztool it didn't work and a download message from windows appeared telling me that this program needs (2.0-3.5 DOTNET Framework installed did it happen to anyone here ? thought this useful

78372 11-08-2017 19:23

I used this program only with windows 7 with those dot net programs preinstalled, so I never faced that problem.

78372 11-08-2017 22:28

Anyways, requirements in ZTool is below:

pzlib requires:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redist
plz4 requires:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redist
plzo needs:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redist

plzo in ZTool should work for these games:

Assassin's Creed III (2012) NO
Assassin's Creed III: Liberation (2012) NOT TESTED BUT SHOULD BE SAME
Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (2013) NO
Assassin's Creed Rogue (2014) NOT TESTED BUT SHOULD BE SAME
So it's only working on AnvilNext 2.0, which are only 2 games. Next AC probably will be someting different.
