My Precomp fork with stdin/stdout support
Hi, I've been working on a precomp fork for a few weeks now.
There is still a lot of stuff I want to do with it, but I think right now its on a place where it might be cool to let you guys try it. Interesting features so far:
Usage: Mostly the same as regular precomp, the only differences are for using stdin/stdout
This fork should make precomp more practical to use in contexts where only xtool was practical before. If anybody wants to see the code its at https://github.com/nicolas-comerci/precomp-cpp Code is still on the compatible_refactor branch You can find attached 32/64 bits zipped executables. Please feel free to test and use and report any errors. For now I am mostly interested on making sure I haven't introduced any new bugs, so I probably won't be fixing anything that also fails on mainline Precomp 0.4.8 EDIT 08/21/22: Added v1.0 of my fork, has been tested a little more and I fixed some OTF compression/decompression problems Last edited by ncomerci; 21-08-2022 at 16:17. Reason: x64 binary was outdated, included newly compiled one |

Thanks ncomerci
Good Work Code:
[External compressor:precomp048f] header = 0 packcmd = precomp64 -cn -intense0 -ostdout <stdout> $$arcdatafile$$.tmp unpackcmd = precomp64 -ostdout -r stdin <stdin> <stdout> |

it says liblzma error, you are using precomp's included compression?
it wouldn't surprise me if I broke it because I didn't test much with it, will look into it. however for now you can use -cn option to disable the included compression (this I did test thoroughly) and just use some other compression method with freearc, or pipe it through to xz/7za... In fact, I might even completely delete the included compression capabilities in a future version on this fork... seems to me like stdin/stdout support makes that obsolete and just unnecessarily complicates the code |

Gehrman: Thanks from Win XP compatible executables!
One problem from precompf: Totally ignore the external INI file and settings, located in main EXE folder. See the picture. Second smaller problems: More huge external dll's. (45 file!) Solutions? 1. Recompile again or make one executable file via embedding more resources. Created my Enigma Vbox-ed versions the package. (Used in last v9.9.0) Attached in and testing now. UPD: Added size optimized versions the package from smaller EXE's size fans. Precomp(f).exe files and few dll's packed in UPX and packed all files to one Enigma VBoxed EXE file. More AV in falsely alarms!! Use at your own risk! This one positive the package: 5.19/5.20MB vs. 1.94MB's EXE file size in HDD. Compressibility via to 7Z in get ~0.1MB's smaller size usage from installers. (One EXE file packed to 7z archive.) See TXT file from more infos. Safer ways the many AV's conflicts to use bigger EXE files. Compresing via stdin/out mode testing now in next days. UPD2: The quick test results added comprare the Precomp0.4.8 stdio vs. xtool 0.12 x86 versions. This make few MB's archive and decompressing, its precomp now send ~1kB's binary input data from console window without stdout. Decompression its finished without any extra issues. 2nd decompression, not have stderr issues. More bigger files test its OK. No problems or any moe. CRC's its OK tested in 2nd decompression stage will finished and extracted files overwriting. See TXT file from test results from comparing. Last edited by kj911; 10-12-2022 at 11:12. Reason: Added size optimized PreUPX'ed package |

The following tools are used. Code:
Winpp HXD kernelxp.dll QTfiles32 DLL Files |

Gehrman: Two quick questions.
1. What would that be "QTfiles32 DLL Files" ?? No found reasonable results. 2. WinPP: Would that be it? -> https://www.winholdem.net/winpp/ HXD use patching EXE's running to older OS? (Win7 to WinXP) See more post in the topic --> https://encode.su/threads/1838-Comma...Profiling-Tool This precomp EXE files, compiled in GCC or use any compiler? |

Winpp
QTfiles We use HXD to change KERNEL32.dll to KERNELXP.dll. Winpp can also add CLS-LOLZ_x64.exe and CLS-LOLZ_x86.exe compatibility on Windows XP. Last edited by Gehrman; 12-12-2022 at 06:28. |

Gehrman: Thanks from replies!
In last cls-lolz_x86.exe file natively works and running from Windows XP. (To my knowledge, this original EXE CRC: 97A4C611) Older v21a5/6/7 versions required from exe patching. (And OGGRE and DLZ.) In better ways posted from external site use "MakeLX and MakeXP" mini tools, using patched exe from XP system, without using external dll's. See test it.... and attached. MakeXP-x86.exe -> XP compatibility patcher. MakeLAA-x86.exe -> Add large-address-aware functions. (Or just use 4GB memory patcher tools from available via net.) Usage from via cmd: MakeXP/LAA-x86.exe anyfile.exe or drop any exe/dll file to EXE file icon. Installed 64bit Win XP not available in my own circle of acquaintance. Not have available any x64 XP install disk and hardware from testing purpose. UPD: Comparing the MakeLX and WinPP exe patching. No size difference from two patched executables. WinPP patched to OS and Subsystem version to 4.0 its original higher than 6.0 or any values. MakeLX patched to OS/Subsystems version to 5.0... No se any differences. (Except patcher exe size. 520kB vs. 2kB ) UPD2: Quickly compare MakeLX and 4GB patch EXE tools differences... MakeLX not change 3bytes in exe file, located in hexa: 00120 lines. Hexa values: "00 00 00 00 03 00 00 81" 4GB pated version hex: "AF 23 03 00 03 00 00 81" OS/Subsystem line located in: 00108 and 00110 and first hexa byte changed 06 to 05 or 04 values.

Hello, Mr Nomerci. I have been testing your stuff secretly
I have found some bugs regarding your version of precomp Game that i Found a bug: Resident Evil HD Remaster Folder and files: nativePC\arc\id\e_rom\text\fre\mes\*.* (They are proccessed and resotred but CRC doesnt remain the same. the test was outside freearc) Furthermore, I have seen in your github you uploaded a neo Releases series. and you have removed the ability to keep data decompressed thus making the data lzma-ed by default. srep cant be used and lolz cant be used any fixes? in the making?
