New Release: XTool v0.8.6 (15/2/24)

Changes

- flac library renamed
- fixed an issue with execute command
- fixed issues with executable plugin support
- updated reassign stream feature
- updated oodle scanner

Notes

Reassign stream was first introduced in 0.7.9 but it was not implemented correctly and with this update it got major improvements. What reassign essentially does is transfers streams to another codec for them to be processed for example, if there's zstd streams detected but for whatever reason, internal zstd cannot process them via libzstd.dll however, the original zstd.exe is capable of processing these streams, you can set a method that looks like this
-mzstd=zstd147, where the equal sign "=" transfers all streams detected by xtool to be processed by zstd147 where your custom zstd.exe will be called.

The same applies to plugins that have been created thus far so for example the game tony hawk pro skaters 1+2 with its custom encryption, if you were to create a plugin that contains this custom implementation, the method should be something like -mue4=thps2decrypt, so instead of streams being decrypted by aes via xtool, they will be passed to your custom decryptor.

The same could work for lzma compressed unity game files (though not tested), if you've set up your lzma decoder/encoder, the method becomes -munity=lzma_dynamic but then again, I think with this codec in particular, -munity:lzma_dynamic should work just the same. Once again, this is theoretically it should work this way I just do not have samples to test.

Don't like flac? set up your own external codec like wavpack, tak or whatever, the method will be -mflac=wavpack, where all wav streams detected instead of being processed by flac, they'll be passed onto wavpack to be processed.

There's just a lot of use cases for the stream reassign feature and it's all up to the end-user how they plan on improving recompression of streams that cannot be processed correctly by what xtool has to offer.

Is there an issue with LZ4 stream detection in recent versions of XTool?

The LZ4 streams in the following sample file are correctly detected in old XTool 012 but not in recent versions...or am I missing something?

File sample.pak

XTool 012

xtool.exe e:precomp:c16mb:lz4 sample.pak sample.pak.xt

9,327,964 => 13,522,962

XTool 0.8.7

xtool.exe precomp -mlz4 sample.pak sample.pak.xt

It just seems to get stuck in a loop forever.

Here is the link to sample.pak -:
