XTool 2020 (Plugins)

[Razor12911]

Here's an alternative doboz library plugin, it may have bugs as this is the first xtool plugin written in Visual Studio rather than RAD Studio.

Do any titles other than "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" or titles running on the PS Vita use Doboz? Only done a quick skim through, but cant seem to find many cases.

I don't know either

The sample he sent over has a bms script, meaning you first need to use bms2xtl, the comtype used in the game is evolution/lzfx so I just make a plugin that acts a evolution precompressor, however no matter what parameters you use for lzfx, you simply cannot recompress the data with matching crc. I revisited the data set again today after updating the library to patch the streams but the diff files are just too big and wouldn't make sense to precompress this game.
