PCARS 2 & 3 use Oodle Kraken, not xcompress.

Sorry, I wanted to write "same bms script" lol. For some reason I wrote something different

Edit: Corrected my post

Automobilista 2 [RC4 + ZLIB]

• Extract contents of the attached archive and use -mautomobilista2.
• You must use -d1 because this game has two layers to the bff file, the first layer is rc4 encryption and the second is compressed data.
• You can discard the Automobilista2.xtl file and the key files for decoding, but you must keep the zlib/reflate libraries.

Super Robot Wars 30 [DECRYPTION ONLY] [Blowfish]

• Extract contents of the attached archive and use -mSRW30.
• You can discard the SRW30.XTL file and the key file for decoding, but you must keep the following:
  • quickbms.exe
  • xtool.ini
• After decrypting, you need to add crilayla precompressor. This XTool database does not do any precompression. I am using crilayla precompressor from XTool v0.12 which is also attached below.
• Some streams may be missing from the database due to some stream extraction issue with CriPakTools but most streams, especially the big ones, will definitely be detected.
• WARNING! VERY slow

Ultra Age [v2] [Oodle]

• Extract the contents of the below archive and use -mUltraAge.
• Requires oo2core_*_win64.dll, I included one in the archive.
• You can discard the UltraAge.xtl for decoding, but you must retain the oodle core.
• v2: I made a mistake in first database with the oodle codec. v2 database is correct.

Project CARS 3 [RC4 + Kraken]

• Extract contents of the attached archive and use -mPCARS3
• You must use -d1 because this game has two layers to the bff file, the first layer is rc4 encryption and the second is compressed data.
• You can discard the PCARS3.XTL file and the key files for decoding, but you must keep the oodle library.

Is there any location to download old version of plugins and database makers?
For example, I want to try old version of dunia database maker R3 with xtool 0.3.21.. Because I can't make latest (R5) version to work with FC6 and latest xtool 0.5.3. Yes, I have everything, not new at this at all, successfully created database fc6.xtl, have tried different versions of liblz4.dll with it, tried -d1 in arc.ini, all in same dir, etc etc, no error with -mxtool:fc6 but it simply does not expand. I'm grateful to anyone with any advice on this, maybe I'm missing something.
P.S. btw, there are only _few_ old versions of plugins at "older releases" xtool link.. and none of database maker old releases.

Doesn't expand because xtool and/or the database maker are bugged. If you create the database only on one .dat file (you must include the same .fat) xtool is going to work. It doesn't work if you create the database on all game files. I have reported this problem to razor already.

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.
