If I have a game say "Grand Theft Auto San Andreas". How could I repack it ?
Can Anyone tell the process to repack the game to under 1.5 gb ?

Xtool isn't used directly, look at test example or the Freearc example to see how it works.

The idea of reflate is by selecting the correct level you get the best result. You can perform trial and error on an input by trying out different levels and the best one is the one that gives the least output. Default is level 6

Did it five times ,as you requested.

Layers of fear 2 - pakchunk2-WindowsNoEditor.pak - OK !
Legacy of the void - data.006 - OK !
X4 Foundations - 05.dat - OK !

Interesting : in all testfiles the last two numbers were the same/file :

05.dat ends : 11372 ,11372.
data.006 : 110507,110507.
pakchunk2-WindowsNoEditor.pak : 34990,34990.
Maybe is it a bug ?!

Thanks for your work !

I actually saw those last repeating numbers, I already fixed the problem after uploading the attachment, it's not really a big deal but thanks for the test.

@everyone
there are more tests to come.

lz4,lzo,zstd...
is there any speed improvement in raw2hif_dll/hif2raw_dll, for exmaple xtool is slow on doom/cod ghost ?

[KaktoR]

Did it aswell with Kingdom Come Deliverance and a few pdf files.

All seems to be the way it should be!

[Razor12911]

well that is the thing, I didn't make those libraries, if they are slow, they are slow nothing I can do unless if you contact the creator here:
https://encode.ru/threads/1399-refla...e-recompressor

as for doom, well I had plans for that game, there will be a plugin that will come with xtool called idtech6.dll or something similar. The plugin is specially designed to work best for games that use that engine (also dishonored 2, doto), handling zlib specifically for them unlike the universal zlib that tries all possible methods to give you the best output, the plugin will know beforehand what to do and how to handle the streams from those games and speed up the process.

xtool.exe e:precomp:t100p:idtech6 - -
is how you will use it, there are several games that if they require a special touch, they will just come separate from xtool in plugin form like dunia, unity and etc, which is why I created a separate thread here because I reckon there is going to be many.

[Razor12911]

Here's a speed test

prepare two types of inputs, one with deflate streams and one without deflate streams, can be a video file.

drag and drop the test files onto test.bat, there will be a console output, upload those results as test report.

The test is between xtool v012 and the upcoming release.

Note: Your input shouldn't be from the game that use idTech6 engine (DOOM, Dishonored 2 and Death of the Outsider)
