i've found manually changing crilayla to zlib or zlib to crilayla
in the arc ini works depandant on what you are trying to precompress

Yeah, my mistake, thanks.

Out of memory exceptions probably occurred.

@Razor12911

i ran into his same problem its just an arc.ini issue seems you can only have zlib or crilayla typed in one at a time wich explained why this worked on the FA example command
its with zlib being in the command it will target zlib with crilayla in the command it will target cpk but if you have both it will ignore both

ztool zlib vs xtool zlib with just zlib in the command

interesting it isn't inflating at all on my side
i will do some troubleshooting

[darkwolves]

alright seems to be in the arc.ini

in release 2 razor released the following command in the FA example

[External compressor:xprecomp]
header = 0
packcmd = xtool.exe e:precomp:t4:zlib - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe d:precomp:t4 - - <stdin> <stdout>

with it set this way it will ignore the crilayla streams


the solution is to replace zlib with crilayla in the packcmd and xtool begins to read the cri streams again i have tried adding it with zlib still there but it does not work.

example

[External compressor:xprecomp]
header = 0
packcmd = xtool.exe e:precomp:t4:crilayla - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe d:precomp:t4 - - <stdin> <stdout>

sonic lost world after replacing zlib with crilayla in the arc ini in release 2

Compressing 1 file, 2,463,058,976 bytes
Compressing sonic2013_0.cpk
Compressed 1 file, 2,463,058,976 => 5,067,368,904 bytes. Ratio 205.7%
Compression time: cpu 5.81 secs, real 1115.69 secs. Speed 2,208 kB/s

i came to this conclusion after sending a file to razor and it worked for him and his command
did not have zlib in it only crilayla

^Did you test the decompression as well ?

Yep, decompression is ok with both versions.

Thanks Razor for keep doing tools that you don't use
can you add parameters to split threads like in ztool\pzlib?
st#: number of scanning threads
ct#: number of precompressing threads
normally using one thread for precompressing and multi for scanning gives less chance of an CRC errors

the t in the arc command stands for threads i believe it is t4 by default

identical end results but xtool precompressed these zlib files very noticably faster than ztool
