XTool - Successor of ZTool

[darkwolves]

@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

in the arc.ini packcmd it doesn't work if both are present only the one you are trying to precompress

Arc.ini
[Compression Methods]
Zlib = xprecomp:c32mb,t100p:zlib
Cri  = xprecomp:c32mb,t1:crilayla

[External compressor:xprecomp]
header    = 0
default = :c32mb,t100p:zlib
packcmd   = XTool e:precomp{:option} - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = XTool d:precomp:t100p - - <stdin> <stdout>

Bat

:-ioff         --shutdown
Arc create --cache=1k -ma9 -dses -ep1 -ed -i2 -r -s; -w.\Temp -dp"Pack" -mZlib Test.Bin
RD /S /Q TEMP
pause

and use --cache=0

[darkwolves]

this is what fixed it for me

for zlib

[External compressor:xprecomp]
header = 0
packcmd = xtool.exe e:precomp:c16mb,t4:zlib - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe d:precomp:t4 - - <stdin> <stdout>

for crilayla

[External compressor:cpk]
header = 0
packcmd = xtool.exe e:precomp:c16mb,t4:crilayla - - <stdin> <stdout>
unpackcmd = xtool.exe d:precomp:t4 - - <stdin> <stdout>

Guys, the usage information is simple and straightforward.
If you have issues with codecs, just put all of them at once
zlib,crilayla

test on witcher 3 improve 200mb over ztool/pzlib,
final size with xtool 24.1gb with ztool/pzlib 24.3gb...
install time on I7 8700K with SSD NVME 960 evo around 6 min...
the setting precomp:t100p:zlib+srep:m3f:a2+lolz:d64

Help used xtool v2


used xtool v1


both with the same .arc

0.2 is incompatible with 0.1 data, so if the data was precompressed with 0.1, you're gonna have to recompress the whole thing again.
