xtool gave crc error on \alba_data\sys\ folder, no matter what options (and t1 unpacking is too slow), that's why i used ztool on this.

Guardians Of The Galaxy Telltale Series
(method) decrypted files and used xtool with only a zlib codec

using the zlib codec alone prevents crc error

Create two data files for this game like i did

in first data file---for .resS and .file files----majority of game
in arc.ini while repacking, using srep64+lolz

Code:

[External compressor:srep64]

header = 0

packcmd   = srep64 {options} -m3f -l512 -a2 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp



[External compressor:lolz]

header = 0

packcmd = lolz_x64.exe -d256m -tt8 -mc1023 {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

in second data file--for .resource, .assets, mp4, .dll, .exe etc
in arc.ini while repacking, using srep64+dispack+lolz

Code:

[External compressor:srep64]

header = 0

packcmd   = srep64 {options} -m3f -l512 $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp



[External compressor:lolz]

header = 0

packcmd = lolz_x64.exe -d256m -tt8 -mc1023 {options} $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

you can also use pzlib+srep+lolz to create a single data file but i didn't used it for some reasons.
Have fun playing.....any suggestions will be appreciated
