Oodle precompressor (Side project)

[L33THAK0R]

Sorry to revive an old topic with a rather silly lot of questions, but what exactly should the arc.ini and resource folder structure look like, when attempting to use more than one of the available Oodle pre-compressors? The title I'm attempting to apply these pre-compressors too is the GOG release of "Wolfenstein II (2): The New Colossus", the Oodle stream scanner tool indicates both Oodle Mermaid & Selkie are used.

I've only ever compressed titles using the Oodle Kraken precompressor included with XTool 2020 and have never used this project before (out of both a lack of understanding and a lack of need). My arc.ini currently looks like this, with the string of compressors to use (Tiny Compressor), looking like this.

Two areas of confusion that I have is how exactly does oo2rec(k/m/s).exe know where to look for the oo2core..._win64.dll, and where should this .dll be located relative to the compressor's .exe? The current structure I have looks like this (oo2core_5_win64.dll is the same .dll present in the "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus" root directory.).

I've gone through the included arc.ini in the attached tool on this topic as well as the pack/unpack.bat files but I still can't seem to understand how to operate these tools. If anyone is willing to help me out and requires any additional information I am happy to do so. Thank you for reading through the entirety of this rather lengthy post, any help anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated!

Your arc.ini is incorrect.

[External compressor:oo2reck,oo2recm,oo2recs]
header    = 0
packcmd   = {compressor} e <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = {compressor} d <stdin> <stdout>

This is the packcmd given. {compressor} translates the name of the method into the exe file used for the method.

Put the oodle core in the same folder as the oodle precompressor. It will automatically use it.

Then your method: oo2recm+oo2recs+srep+lolz

Thank you very much for your speedy response! Unfortunately I'm still unable to compress the files of "Wolfenstein II (2): The New Colossus". My arc.ini now looks like the following, and the folder structure for the Oodle pre-compressor tool now looks like the following. When attempting to compress the files, however, I recieve this error. The same error is received regardless of the order of the Mermaid & Selkie Oodle pre-compressors used. I'm honestly rather confused why this tool refuses to play nicely.
