...
[External compressor:xtool]
header = 0
packcmd = xtool precomp -m{option} -c32mb -t100p-1 - - <stdin> <stdout>
..so I can use, for example, arc.exe a -mxtool:zlib+reflate ...
But since you choose to use + sign to combine codecs this will not work....or if somebody have another idea how to specify different codecs that requires + sign from command line and not by editing arc.ini everytime, I would much appreciate advice...

Thanks in advance,

I'll add "+" as a resource string and if you want to change it as a user, you'd have to do it yourself. in the next update, that is

Update available

Changes

- added database search
- updated zlib scanner
- fixed reflate bug
- fixed 2GB memory limit

Notes
Database search is a feature similar to configuration support, a demonstration on Far Cry 5 and Watch Dogs Legion will be posted to show how it works.

Updated zlib scanner to eliminate some pesky false positives that cause reflate bugs, verification of reflate removed and should work faster now.

2010_R2 update broke reflate, not sure if you noticed but it's now fixed.

Turns out the issue was caused by this

So I created a custom TMemoryStream that can handle more than 2GB data in x64
