• Tried different configs for LOLZ
• Tried different configs for SREP
• Tried outright replacing LOLZ with LZMA
• Tried various versions of XTool and ZTool, and different configs for them as well.

I really don't know what the problem is with this game, and trying to compress the 2 games separately still results in a corrupted error too during decompression.

xtool:reflate works just fine for me.

[External compressor:xtool]
header    = 0
default   = -c64mb -t75p
packcmd   = "XTool.exe" precomp { -option} - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = "XTool.exe" decode -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

Did you test only xtool to see if it works?

My xtool setup is pretty much the same from when I last tested it.

[External compressor:xtool]
header = 0
packcmd = XT\xtool.exe precomp -mzlib -c64mb -t75p --dbase - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe decode -t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

I haven't tested JUST xtool only to see if that works, but I will get back to you here from when I do. I don't understand what the problem is on my part really.

UPDATE: I tried specifically using reflate on xtool+srep+lolz, and still get a decompression error. However, I did try using xtool only and it decompressed just fine...what could honestly be the issue? I would like to get this figured out.
