Thank you as well and its great to see you kicking again. If I may ask, why not just update zstd inside xtool and make another separate one?

i've been collecting the side projects i sometimes tend to use them over Xtool

because xtool is in a horrible state currently, a lot of months passed and I just decided to open the source recently and it didn't seem like I was the one who the WTF code it contains

So I decided start smaller projects to see how those fare in what I plan to do in future.

I know this feeling. Coded my own "Total Commander" in Borland C++ years ago and later decided to revisit. My code is actually extremely clean and ordered(others who saw it said as well), yet I gave up as it would take too much effort/time to digest it again.

I suspect this have to do with object oriented languages once they grow in size, never had such problem with C projects and even reading others work (like before mentioned LZ4 or plzip which I forked to xnlz) was such a breeze. Yet I could never properly digest C++ code not only from others, but even my own - well organized. And I used to be really good at C++ once before(before I forgot most of that crap) including complete STL knowledge, all kind of tricks etc..

Really, just drop that crap called "delphi pascal" and try plain C instead

. I am almost certain you will not regret it + you will gain speed as well and besides, most of your tools are command line without GUI anyway

I only code for fun bro or I should I say I used to as it is not fun anymore :/, so learning how to write in another language would simply mean I'm not doing it as a hobby but now taking a path towards something I do as a profession

Thank you Razor, btw here it doesn't pump(pre-compress) the files of the folders: 920560, 920561, 920562, 920563, 920564, 920567, 920568, 920569, 920570. Is the normal ? Btw it works with re_chunk_000.pak (22.1GB).

DLC paks are compressed with deflate

Thanks Razor!

BTW:
im used taskkill for zstdrec.exe

Code:

function IsProcessRunning(FileName: String): Boolean;
var
  objSWbemLocator, objSWbemServices: Variant;
begin
  try
    objSWbemLocator:= CreateOleObject('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator');
  except
    ShowExceptionMessage;
    Exit;
  end;
  objSWbemServices:= objSWbemLocator.ConnectServer();
  objSWbemServices.Security_.ImpersonationLevel := 3;
  Result := (objSWbemServices.ExecQuery('SELECT * FROM Win32_Process WHERE Name="' + FileName + '"').Count > 0);
end;

Cancel Button or ISDoneError

Code:

var
#ifdef zstdrec
  ResC: Integer;
#endif  
begin
------  
    #ifdef zstdrec
      if IsProcessRunning('zstdrec.exe') then
       Exec(ExpandConstant('{sys}\taskkill.exe'), ' /F /IM zstdrec.exe', '', SW_HIDE, ewWaitUntilTerminated, ResC);
    #endif
end;

Does zstdrec work with resident evil 3 remake ?
hmm , it does not expand for me !!
Are game files encrypted ?
