In my defence, even I haven't used x64 version of this thing.

Thanks Razor12911
 

Thanks Razor12911 for this aio tool, why don't you made this tool also as compresstor like precomp's lzma... like lzna in it
but this tool is very helpfull for repacker

Thanks Razor12911 U R DA Best......

XTool - Successor of ZTool
XTool version 0.1
Information for detailed and comfortable use
ultra arc.ini settings info if available
if you can give me a few examples
precomp - data precompression arc.ini settings info if available
zlib : loaded arc.ini settings info if available
crilayla : loaded arc.ini settings info if available

thanks for everything Razor12911

seems not to work with zlibwapi only like ztool ?
* and srep and lolz does not show data size ???

ZTool vs XTool Test
 

Great work Razor12911 as always
data1 = ZTool
data2 = XTool

XTool inflated less, but compressed much
ZTool: 188mb>127MB
XTool: 188mb>121MB


Thanks again for all your effort.

Unfortunatelly xtool doesn't work with UA.

Will go for DS then :)

@Razor12911 : is the crilayla x64 dll missing ?!

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (Crilayla)
Data size : 2,745,508,712
Compressed Size : 850,414,132
Compression Ratio : 30.9 %

Cons:
Decompression takes a lot of time.
Installer freezes if aborted, just like pzlib3. You have to close the xtool process from task manager.

Wonderful tool, Can't thank you enough Razor...

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (Crilayla)
Data size : 2,745,508,712

758 282 960 (723 mb) - xtool+srep+lolz

Tried it on a file from mass effect 3, precomp042 precompresses better than xtool on it.

Use TaskKill

When packed file more 4 gb
http://i104.fastpic.ru/big/2018/0416...ca106f6399.jpg

works with zlibwapi.dll, zlib1.dll or zlib.dll, whichever is found

Probably some bug, will look at it, found more bugs while working on the Naruto series

Great, this is only news. Upload file if you want something done about it.

ofcourse i will send u the file.

i repacked sonic forces to 7.94 gb by extracting the cpk... files and packed the files back up after installing.... and it takes alot of time but now i will use this and see how well i can compress it .

x64 xtool shows DiskFull
x86 is working

X32:

X64:

*no crashes or anything else

Probably this disk full error is by fa(standard error), I faced it many times during many projects and when I used stdin for encoding, this was a common error, though I am not sure it is the same error for xtool or not. But those who are facing these errors, try using $$arcdatafile$$.tmp instead of stdin(Not tested here)

why do you think i haven't tried it?

trying xtool with uharcmt it seems to be working pretty well

I'll take a look at x64 issue

Greetings Razor, I only now discovered this. Its fantastic that you decided to remake ztool. Specifically CRI format is great to see for sure.

If you are interested in adding oodle in future, it is pretty much "8C 06" pattern to look for *always*, with cmd/uncmp sizes preceding it. Even in engines like unreal where offsets to these sizes are to get from initial game header, they are still located just before "8C 06"(xcom 2 wotch), e.g: cmp(long) - uncmp(long) - data(starting with and including "8C 06").
Oodle is in fact rather predictable to detect and extract, I made bms script that was able to extract from xcom 2(over 20gb+ data) unreal files error-free without bothering to use their own format to locate those chunks.
To differentiate from fakes, first byte before "8C 06" must be "00" because chunks should never be bigger than 8mb and whole 4byte set before "8C 06" when translated to integer should not exceed 8mb. Thats all.

Well anyway, I hope for this to become as great tool one day as is ztool now. Thank you.

sonic forces repacked from 16 gigs to 8.6 gigs using xtool with srep and uharcmt with it
will be testing other compressors with it as well

I;'m having a problem arc.exe crashing when the operation starts and i guess it's related to my settings.
let's say i want to compress a cpk file and load crilayla library how the command in arc.ini would look like?
Thanks.

Just in case :p

[External compressor:xprecomp]
header = 0
packcmd = xtool.exe e:precomp:c32mb,t3 - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe d:precomp:t75p - - <stdin> <stdout>

thats the typical command razor gave for it
also don't use x64 at this time something is wrong with it
razor said he would look into it

When i used $$.tmp instead of stdio i got no disk full error.

it gives me a CRC error when i use that i wonder why every individual computer must be so complicated lol

XTool doesn't work with Diskspan unfortunatelly.

If i use stdin then xtool closes itself with a windows error reporting in task manager (it will be shown just for a second).

I have used also $$.tmp and Input, same

Need dll
hif2raw_dll.dll
raw2hif_dll.dll
zlibwapi.dll

Files are present

@KaktoR you have a typo in packcmd: c32mb,t3
