I'm giving the project another try since it seems like people are still interested in it.

No promises, even with quarantine going on, it should mean that I have time to make changes but then I use this time to sleep (Lazy af these days, not sure why) XD

Not much to fix then, development will resume sometime in June. I should have plenty of time then.

Edit:
You guys should also make sure you use the program correctly, I downloaded a game the other day and I was wondering why the heck I can't use my PC but turns out 25 threads were enabled, like wtf. RIP my quad core cpu...

Hi

I'm not really sure how to explain this is such but here goes:

- Using the crilayla codec on XTool v0.12, I am facing decompression issues where XTool seems to crash and sits idle in task manager. I am running a CPU with 16 threads and Xtool is given all 16 of them to play with. Would limiting the threads help at all? I've seen that 16 copies of the crilayla dll is created during installation, I understand this is 1 copy per thread. The game in question is The Wonderful 101 Remastered.

- Other times, using zlib codec, the same issue occurs. This is with both the x86 or x64 version of 0.12.

I'm not sure what to try in order to fix this.

Thank you in advance.

- Big input with oodle codec does not work
  > xtool just won't precompress all files
- The same for FC5 lz4hc codec
  > File by file works, all files together just stops inflating
- Crilayla codec always will give crc error when unpack is greater then t75p
  > t50p works all the time

I think there a some more. I just wrote what I remember this fast

Two games I have experienced issues with xtool:
Darksiders
Red Faction Guerilla Remarstered

I don't remember exactly which files were problematic.

sorry but this is a little confusing, what xtool version should i use?

this one:

or the 0.12?

This thread seems to have more activity, that's why i'm asking.

Thanks.

Mr.artag, use this version

[artag]

oh thanks!! i was using the other one!!
and another question, what about CriLayla games (bayoneta), the codec is not present on the las version, should i use a previous version or that means that the codec is unstable? thanks!
Edit: oh i just saw i'ts only for 32b

Try t2 ot t25p. It works all the time. It's a known issue.

Tried both limits and same crash at the same point in both scenarios, just takes longer to reach that point because the threads are limited.

Hola masquerade.... hope you're doing well

Will you please try Pzlib v3 with m2:x+srep+lolz

It'll be okay... but don't forget to add the "libraries" with the binaries though they are in optional folder.

Both Pzlib v3 and Xtool is the offering by razor12911


But if you find that m2:x (best as razor had told) takes much longer , try m2:t1 or m2:t2

And Pzlib v3 doesn't have any stdin/stdout bug.I know Pzlib is off-topic for xzlib.. but dang that works well

Has issues with some Unity Engine based games like Tin & Kuna, Trollhunters - Defenders of Arcadia, and New Super Lucky's Tale?

I tried using the lz4 codec but it failed.

But some had custom compression on them.

Edit: New XTool works.

I need a tutorial, I want to learn this

[KaktoR]

Could someone tell me what's wrong with this file?

XTool just stop working on this (no cpu/ram load), no matter what settings I use.

This is from Anno 1800

71 zlib streams with valid headers. Data is very much precompressible.

I am having a similar issue with Monster Truck Championship, a UE4 game, no encryption, xtool will stick at 1.0% - ZTool / pZlib will instant crash with error 0xC0000005.
