XTool (2020) 0.9.2

Update available

Changes

- added zstd codec
- added lz4, lz4hc, lzna, mermaid, selkie, hydra, leviathan codec placeholders
- added configuration support
- added xdelta support to handle crc mismatch streams

Notes

Configuration support is basically telling xtool how to find streams via an ini file. An example is included (-msr3remaster), I'll document its usage in the next release.
The oodle precompressor in xtool is still inferior to the side project, I'll work on it in the next release.

Changes

- added kraken codec
- fixed depthing issues

Notes

This doesn't detect kraken streams as the side project because I opted for speed but this will change in future once I figure out how to properly deal with the codec

Kraken comes with a level option which is used like this "-mkraken:l4" this is only if you know what level was used to speed up the process but if you don't know what level, you can just use kraken plainly like this "-mkraken" and xtool will try all possible levels until it gets the right one. If two levels were used then the method should look like this "-mkraken:l4,l5"

the deduplication applies to all codecs xtool has so if a game was compressed using kraken and it has many repeated streams, that should give you more speed.

the oodle in xtool doesn't require you to rename the dll therefore if "oo2core_9_win64.dll" ever gets released, xtool should be able to support it.
