Changes

- Updated Hitman plugin

Notes

Other plugins require an update to work with 0.3.13

The hitman plugin now works but something you have to know is the game may be encrypted and compressed but only about 10% give or take is packed in this manner and this means that the inflation ratio or the final gains will not be a lot. I had to download the whole game just to see what was wrong with the previous plugin and here's a benchmark that shows what I am talking about

chunk8.rpkg:
2.08 GB (2,239,549,275 bytes) >> 2.22 GB (2,390,705,974 bytes)

2.08 GB (2,239,549,275 bytes) >> 1.76 GB (1,891,802,867 bytes) (srep+lzma)
2.08 GB (2,239,549,275 bytes) >> 1.67 GB (1,797,884,353 bytes) (xtool+srep+lzma)

The plugin is based on this source from github: https://github.com/LennardF1989/HitmanExtractor
- also produces the same results.

Most streams are packed as they are (not compressed), some are just encrypted and then some are both encrypted and compressed. The encryption and compression used is very weak in terms of obfuscating data for compression hence the gains will not be much.

Wait for a revised version that works with the new xtool.
