XTool - Successor of ZTool

[KaktoR]

Use :lzo for brotherhood

[masen485]

If possible, compress your game
Do you share tools with me?

[KaktoR]

No.

@razor: Just to let you know, 65+GB data will not be inflated by xtool somehow.
I tested for Origins with c32m,t4:oodle

The first 1GB will be inflated (xtool is over 80% cpu usage), after that, arc only copying files and xtool do nothing anymore. Maybe to much data?

[KaktoR]

Yes tested with 0.9 and 0.10

Compressing 122 files, 69,051,449,344 bytes. Processed  10.0% ==>> xtool
Compressing 69,353,227,695 bytes with ==>> srep

Correction: xtool is just working for about ~250mb, then stop

xtool VERSION
0.8,0.7,0.09
xtool(:c32m,t4odle) WHICH VERSION
HELP PLEASE
Assassins Creed IV Black Flag

Ok, didn't realized 0.10 was just an update for x86. But problem remains

xtool(:c32m,t4:oodle)
260mb => 548mb => 195mb (205.152.256 Bytes)
Compression time: 192secs
Decompression time: 62secs

AFR(:a2) with in/out patch 
260mb => 548mb => 195mb (204.939.264 Bytes)
Compression time: 144secs
Decompression time: 118secs

For decompression used all threads

Only precompress:

xtool
Precompress time: 63secs
Decompress time: 55secs

AFR
Precompress time: 18secs
Decompress time: 105secs

So xtool is at least two times faster than AFR in decompression, but ~3.5 times slower in precompression

Give me please this file.)

@Edison
Wait (wrong file)

will upload for you

To me it seems redundant as e: and d: already imply default behavior(encode vs decode) and precomp seem'd to me at first confused with precomp tool by schnaader. Also using different separators, aka ',' and ':' for specific areas of cmd make it prone to type error, as happened to me before and I seem to be not the only person. Pure ':'s in ztool were fine and easier for inclussion with other utilities IMO. BTW I am not complaining, this tool is fantastic and ultimate, just being curious about new design.

There methods planned apart from precomp to be added in xtool, stuff like preprocessing of data, encryption, data reconstruction (rebuild), compression and etc.

xtool requires dll at all times, even zlib requires dll. no code of compresssion algorithms are stored within xtool except for special cases but even those special cases do not execute if a specific dll that goes hand in hand with aren't available.

And I think there is something wrong with the parser for FAT v9 (FC3, FC4) for big dat files, I kinda rushed adding this feature without conducting any proper tests.

Bugs everything, when are they gonna stop .... -_-

Great tool. Thanks Razor!

What about decompress *.mega2 & *.pages files from DOOM 2016?

[Razor12911]

Development will resume after the first week of July

Its pointless to decompress pages files of idTech games for further compression because you will end up having a bad ratio. In previous games they are heavily packed with some texture compression. I tried with DOOM 2016 and as far as I remember ratio was worse compared to their original compressed size.

@Razor12911 i tested xtool 0.10 on mass effect 2 type8 files when i use t100p seems like prime95 THE TEMP are very hot around 90c ?
because when i use t100p with zlib or lz4 it uses all cpu threads but the temp around 70c with lzo around 90c...
i am using i7 8700k with NH-D15...
