Added XTool

It's faster and better ratio than ZTool

c128m is needed, otherwise you will get crc error on unpacking.

I will post results for HD Content soon

Its packed only with srep+lolz because i didnt found any other way. Tested with only lzma (heavy settings) and lolz but with srep it works better (ratio and install times). I used d64 because the difference on some test files were less then 2mb and it was also faster.

Code:

Title:           Dead or Alive 5: Last Round
Version:         v1.10c +73 DLC's

PC:              4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 8GB Ram + SSD

Ripped Files:    Only replaced DirectX with webinstaller

Original Size:   12.5 GB
Compressed Size: 9.76 GB

Method:          srep:m3f+lolz:d64:mc1023
                 
                                 
Compress Time:   2 hours 55 minutes (10501.34 sec)
Install Time:    3-4 minutes

CRC Checked:     Yes

I had to start again with Dishonored - Death of the Outsider, should be ready
if everything is fine when i wake up.

Good night !!!

Good morning, here is the third and last Dishonored game.

Code:

Title:           Dishonored: Death of the Outsider
Version:         v1.144.0.17

PC:              4 Cores 3.9GHz (up to 4.3GHz) + 8GB Ram + SSD

Ripped Files:    All foreign languages

Original Size:   31.4 GB
Compressed Size: 14.6 GB

Method:          binkpack on *.bk2 files
                 pzlib:max:c256m+srep:m3f+lolz:d128:mc1023 on rest of files
                                 
Compress Time:   8 hours 40 minutes (31207.52 sec)
Install Time:    10 minutes

CRC Checked:     Yes

Note:
Its important to use c256m on ZTool or it will give CRC error on installation.
You can also save up to 500mb if you delete the credits.bk2.

Like Dishonored 2 i had lot of issues, have tried it with XTool first on single files and it worked but when i packed the full game, Xtool has stopped after 4 hours.
I have to take a better look into this because im sure that on this two games we can get extra 500mb-1gb using xtool.

Updated and removed ZTool because in this case it takes much longer (+100%) and it has bigger output.
