doboz Plugin for XTool

Just a very simple way of adding the ability to precompress streams compressed using doboz algorithm with XTool.

You cannot use this on its own, just like xmemcompress plugin. It's designed to be used with BMS2XTL.

Particularly, the Witcher 3 - which uses a fun compression cоcktail of many algos, one of which is doboz.

Thanks to Attila T. Afra who's doboz compressor is used here. I found this on the wayback machine when looking for potential source code I could compile.

Hmm. It's interesting, thank you
By the way, does anyone know what algorithm the *.str files use in Dead Space 2?

Thanks for this. Maybe someone else may find the info usefull.

Like Masquerade said, you have to use it with xtl db (use bms2xtl for this with witcher3.bms script and add lz4=lz4hc to bms2xtl.ini). You have to make the xtl file out of *.bundle files. The script is not compatible with *.cache files for some reason, but it should regarding script info and zenhax forum, but for me it does not work on *.cache files.

For lz4hc use level9. This is the peak for *.bundle files. Some mod files use level3 however.

Code:
-mxtool:witcher3:zlib:lz4hc,l9
