XTool - Successor of ZTool

[elit]

Greetings Razor, I only now discovered this. Its fantastic that you decided to remake ztool. Specifically CRI format is great to see for sure.

If you are interested in adding oodle in future, it is pretty much "8C 06" pattern to look for *always*, with cmd/uncmp sizes preceding it. Even in engines like unreal where offsets to these sizes are to get from initial game header, they are still located just before "8C 06"(xcom 2 wotch), e.g: cmp(long) - uncmp(long) - data(starting with and including "8C 06").
Oodle is in fact rather predictable to detect and extract, I made bms script that was able to extract from xcom 2(over 20gb+ data) unreal files error-free without bothering to use their own format to locate those chunks.
To differentiate from fakes, first byte before "8C 06" must be "00" because chunks should never be bigger than 8mb and whole 4byte set before "8C 06" when translated to integer should not exceed 8mb. Thats all.

Well anyway, I hope for this to become as great tool one day as is ztool now. Thank you.

sonic forces repacked from 16 gigs to 8.6 gigs using xtool with srep and uharcmt with it
will be testing other compressors with it as well

I;'m having a problem arc.exe crashing when the operation starts and i guess it's related to my settings.
let's say i want to compress a cpk file and load crilayla library how the command in arc.ini would look like?
Thanks.

[External compressor:xprecomp]
header = 0
packcmd = xtool.exe e:precomp:c32mb,t3 - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe d:precomp:t75p - - <stdin> <stdout>

thats the typical command razor gave for it
also don't use x64 at this time something is wrong with it
razor said he would look into it

When i used $$.tmp instead of stdio i got no disk full error.

it gives me a CRC error when i use that i wonder why every individual computer must be so complicated lol

XTool doesn't work with Diskspan unfortunatelly.

If i use stdin then xtool closes itself with a windows error reporting in task manager (it will be shown just for a second).

I have used also $$.tmp and Input, same

@KaktoR you have a typo in packcmd: c32mb,t3

[KaktoR]

That's the command razor gave us, and it works just fine (except for the above^^)
