You cannot use lz4 directly. Plugin is required always if you want to use lz4/lz4hc.

However your sample seems to be compressed with lz4hc, because recompressed stream is bigger then original stream.

I don't know from what game this sample is. Either make a plugin configuration (ini file) or search for bms script and use bms2xtl with correct settings.

Yes, you're right - new XTool seems to detect some of the streams as LZ4HC. Not sure why the old XTool works perfectly when choosing generic LZ4 though.

The file is from CoD:MW Remast btw. All of the scene repacks are horribly out of date so I was compressing it myself.

In this case you have to make a configuration plugin in order to precompress this game with newer xtool versions, as I am pretty sure there is no bms script for this game.

Application cls-srep.dll instead of srep.exe is it possible to implement this when using -dd#?

^^
Nope. cls-srep_x64.exe works differently to a typical srep.exe. It's focus is decompression only and uses different parameters afaik.

Hmmm..
xtool execute doesn't work on v0.8.7?

i had multiple issues with the execution options in general including the ones using xtool.ini, some exes using xtool.ini seem to get confused with the in-out like tak or ofr, the only one i actually got working for wav was wavpak. in some versions the exe options kinda work wile in others not at all. i now just use mtx for mt, msc for wav and biks in containers i just extract myself to save jumping around xtool versions.

edit:
after changing xtool to version 086 all the stuff i could not get to work before seemed fine.

do you know how to use the new feature zipcrypto ?

^^
It must be used via plugin, configuration or database. It cannot be called directly.

I understand that you have to use bmscrypt and zip.bms + password.
I've also started a draft ini file but it's a bit dry....

But anyway, with my ugly method and block processing, I've reduced the game to 9.7GB, which isn't so bad.
The only problem is that the CRCs are different, which could pose a problem for future updates.
but not for sure, updates are patch_00x.pak files that are added...
it's not really for the game itself but more to understand the process and improve...

Can you explain how to link quickbms to XTool? I am interested in working with the giants.bms script and files.GAR from FS 22

^^
From this, what I retrieved from the wayback machine:

https://web.archive.org/web/20221212...VJ4U/CEKOWrwzW

- This file format appears to be encryption on top of LZMA.

- XTool cannot natively handle LZMA so that would need to be plugged in. You'd need the right version and parameters for lzma.exe from the lzma sdk.

- The decryption function itself is not sourced, it's embedded into the script as MEMORY_FILE3 (which you must then prompt for qbms to load at runtime or with -Y argument)

- Can this function do encryption too? I do not know.

- Razor said a while back that QuickBMS support was fixed in XTool.ini (because I wanted to use it for Unity games), but I still couldn't quite get it to work correctly.

- So likely you'd need to generate a database with bms2xtl, but this database doesn't even get generated correctly since xtool detects "calldll" as the encryption algortihm (calldll is just a function in qbms to load external code/functions) and then plug qbms and lzma into xtool

This is a lot of trouble and I don't think I can offer any further help.

hello guys
I would like to erase some files in a stream.

xtool.exe erase extracted_ original db.xtl

it works but I want's also to remove small file

there is an option for that ?
