@L33THAK0R
I don't get it to work either, but for me the end is right in the begining of compression no matter what library I use

"ERROR: general (de)compression error in xprecomp"

Edit: Now I used xtool 0.3.16H + unity plugin + lz4 v180 library and it worked fine. Will test some more.

I don't know if the unity plugin is compatible with latest xtool version?

Edit 2: Ok unity plugin works with latest xtool version 0.3.21

Code:

newdunswardoutdoor_light_night_bundle

Compressed 1 file, 124,807,756 => 219,835,242 bytes. Ratio 176.14%
Compression time: cpu 0.11 sec/real 3.73 sec = 3%. Speed 33.42 mB/s
All OK

Extracted 1 file, 219,835,242 => 124,807,756 bytes. Ratio 176.14%
Extraction time: cpu 0.03 sec/real 3.16 sec = 1%. Speed 39.54 mB/s
All OK

This is quite the relief that I wasn't the only one having issues! Would it be possible for you to pretty please upload the v180 lz4 library? I can't seem to find it online (my collection of lz4 libraries is only the different ones included in Razor's xtool builds) unfortunately.

I had no idea this repository existed! Thank you both for providing links, this should be quite useful in future testing!

It's just a unity game, xtool isn't needed. Nothing for it to precompress.

Does anyone know what "Oodle" algorithims "Planet Zoo" uses? I'm fairly sure it uses "Kraken" (output size was inflated a considerable amount when testing with the "Kraken" xtool plugin) but I'm unsure if additional algorithims are used. The scanner tool thingamajig outputs a "0" for all files (unknown/invalid).

NEO: The World Ends With You
srep+lzma (Without staff roll videos)

Output size: 11.1 GB

8+ GB worth of USMs PLUS encrypted files...not worth messing with this unless you plan to re-encode them, and I don't even know if this one of those games where it has issues with touched USMs.

Total War: Warhammer II
v1.12.0 incl all DLC

Code:

 10:57:36 - Selected ARC/DS method for Data1a-01.bin was: xzlib+srep+LZMA-MT
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 13:52:22 - Overall input size: 64.01 GB
 13:52:22 - Overall output size: 38.75 GB (Ratio 60.54%)
 13:52:22 - Data files creation time: 02:30:41

xtool ratio is about 106%. Not much, but that's in general in TW games.

movies contain vp8 files, sound wem.

Your method is incomplete, this game uses LZMA compression by their devs
you can REMOVE it with RPFM.

Yes, but it would lead to bad crc and I don't know if the game works fine with not matching original crc.
