XTool Addons Question & Explication on Oodle libraries.

[KaktoR]

Now it is known that the codec to be used must be inside the "XTool.exe" directory, the method provided by my friend @Danziel123 and recommended to him by @Kaktor "xtool:mkraken:core_2.9.5:dd3+4x4:b64mb :lzma:ultra: 64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000 " the call "core_2.9.5" what is it is a folder, where inside there is the codec to use "oo2core_9_win64.dll"...??? because tried but not works...!!!!

"core_2.9.5" is not a codec, it is just a fake parameter for xtool used in diskspan_gui. It simply tells dsg to use oo2core library v2.9.5.

You can find all aviable libraries in "Resources\ADDONS\Libraries\Oodle\Oodle_Libs.7 z" or "Resources\Win64\ADDONS\Libraries\Oodle\Oodle_Libs .7z".

Can the files of any game with the extension "*.pak.*.ucas*.utoc" all be compressed with Oodle Compression...???

How is it possible to know, through a tool, or by scanning directly with the XTool compressor, which Plugins to use from a game examined, and therefore use the correct compression method...???

No. Each game use a different compression algo. However, while most of UE4 games use algos such as zlib, most of the newer UE5 games use oodle algo. You have to check what codec is used and what library you have to use for it. I suggest using xtoolui for this purpose (xtool.exe + xtoolui.dll in same folder).

In the case where, as in "AloneinTheDark2024", using the "oOdle" Plugins, how do you recognize which encoding to use between "Kraken/Mermaid/Selkie/Leviathan/LZNA"...???

It is once known that coding is the "Kraken" how do I find out which libraries to use between "oo2core_3_win64.dll, oo2core_4_win64.dll, oo2core_5_win64.dll, oo2core_6_win64.dll, oo2core_7_win64.dll...etc".. .?

Either just test blind, or use hxd and search for oodle headers (8C 06 = kraken, 8C 0A = mermaid/selkie, 8C 0C = leviathan).

For new UE5 games, I would always consider starting with library version 2.9.5 or above.

I imagined this since it didn't lead to any references.

Perfect excellent clarification, so in general this table is also valid:

8C 07 -  0:LZH
8C 00 -  1:LZHLW
8C 01 -  2:LZNIB
CC 07 -  3:None
8C 02 -  4:LZB16
8C 03 -  5:LZBLW
8C 04 -  6:LZA
8C 05 -  7:LZNA
8C 06 -  8:Kraken
8C 0A -  9:Mermaid
8C 0B - 10:BitKnit
8C 0A - 11:Selkie
8C 0A - 12:Hydra
8C 0C - 13:Leviathan

where do I download this tool
