xtool.exe e:precomp:t4:zlib

it goes like that you only need ,
if you are adding crilayla after zlib

[LuzhinE]

but so it comes by default xtool


grabbing the change already decompresses thanks

@Razor12911 are you planning on adding support for other games like COD advanced warfare/infinite warfare/WWII/modern warfare remastered, and other game's like wolfenstein new order & the old blood

[KaktoR]

what about MEA zstd stream support? I could upload example if you wish

thanks for your great work, as always

[doofoo24]

will it work on MEA last time i tried with ztool with libzstd it did'nt work like i get final size 35.4gb, i tired with different files from c***p*** (libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll/zstdx86.dll/ztool 32bit) i get 30.4gb ?
i will tried to use xtool

[masen485]

games I want to reduce size

Need for Speed™ Payback Frostbite 3 (LZ4)
Battlefield 1 Frostbite 3 (LZ4)
Battlefield 4 Frostbite 2 (LZ4)
Battlefield 3 Frostbite (LZ4)

XTool 0.3 ,ZTool in the version how to use it in the best way
Can you show me a few examples?
Frostbite games made with game engine

Cool, keep going. compare both precompressed and compressed size between ztool and xtool because if all is good, I no longer touch the codec but will move to the next.

i am trying MEA but always carsh...
packcmd = XTool erecomp:c32mb,t100p:zstd - - <stdin> <stdout>

ok it will take while to compress both game...

test xtool v3
battlefield hardline 36.8gb to 49gb to size 22.8 GB (24,436,696,587 bytes)
mirror edge catalyst 23gb to 29gb to 16.5 GB (17,814,184,692 bytes)

test ztool 0.19.8
battlefield hardline 36.8gb to 51.3gb with srep:m3f:a2+lolz:d64m size 22.7 GB (24,436,517,587 bytes)
mirror edge catalyst 23gb to 29.5gb with srep:m3f:a2+lolz:d64m size 16.5 GB (17,796,182,115 bytes)

*i used the same liblz4 from xtool v3 with ztool...
seems that the ratio with ztool better with about couple of mb...
decompression no crc error...

the arc.ini setting

[External compressor:xprecomp]
header = 0
packcmd = XTool e:precomp:c32mb,t100p:lz4 - - <stdin> <stdout>

[External compressor:plz4]
header = 0
packcmd = ztool e:plz4:t100p - <stdin> $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

Tried it on a file from Mass effect andromida.

ztools pzstd expanded it to 174.85%
xtools expanded it to 177.14%
ztool with v parameter 177.27%(since this produces result without varification, hence can b used for comparison. jusk like we use DS4Zlib before precompression.)

extraction is also successifully

After treating the output with srep + lzma

ztool 20.38%
xtool 20.21%

is it possible to provide v parameter with xtool, it might come handy for comparison.
