Update available

Changes

- fixed library support bug
- x86 build discontinued (has bugs from nowhere)

@Masquerade

Use an even older library for Unity games

https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases/tag/v1.8.0

Also use v0.3.20+

And there is no way you can tell what version of lz4 was used, that's why I made xtool to allow users to change them and go with the one that they think is the best.

Results from the samples you sent:
Code:
Tested 6 files, 2,793,950,894 => 531,410,227 bytes. Ratio 525.76%
Testing time: cpu 0.47 sec/real 92.79 sec = 1%. Speed 5.73 mB/s

Thanks for the update. I can only get the results you are showing if I run xtool in non-solid mode however, which doesn't really work when trying to chain it with srep and lolz.

What's the method to use for lzo precompression?

I have xtool + lzo2.dll, with packcmd:

Code:
[External compressor: lzo]
header = 0
packcmd = xrool precomp -mlzo -c512mb -t16 - - <stdin> <stdout>
Code:
FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) creating archive: data.arc
Compressing 1 file, 51,286,661 bytes. Processed   0%
ERROR: write error (disk full?) in compression algorithm lzo
I have also tried using the xtool example with same result.

Test file: https://1fichier.com/?1lbx3d68cud09anxs39v

It contains zlib and lzo streams - from Bioshock Infinite (unreal engine 3).

Using uelr:

Code:
Compressed 1 file, 51,286,661 => 100,636,058 bytes. Ratio 196.22%
Compression time: cpu 0.08 sec/real 6.75 sec = 1%. Speed 7.59 mB/s
All OK
uelr+xtool for zlib:

Code:
Compressed 1 file, 51,286,661 => 153,379,576 bytes. Ratio 299.06%
Compression time: cpu 0.08 sec/real 12.26 sec = 1%. Speed 4.18 mB/s
All OK

Cool

Try lzo with Far cry 3.

old xtool LZO usage

[External compressor:deflate,reflate,unity,lzo1c,lzo1x,lzo2a]

unpackcmd = xtool.exe decode:t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

This was an error when I typed the post and not from my arc.ini.

If I change to -mlzo1x, it does pack, but only to 100% ratio - no inflation.
