Xtool Precomp Usage [top]

| Old (xprecomp) | Modern replacement | |----------------|---------------------| | xprecomp | fc-cache -fv | | mkfontdir | fc-cache (auto) | | mkfontscale | fc-scan |

For a standard run using the default settings, use the following command: xtool precomp input.bin output.xtl This will scan for common streams like zlib and lzma using a moderate memory profile. 2. Specifying Algorithms

Whether you are a professional software engineer or a hobbyist working on data compression, understanding how to use the xTool Precomp plugin is essential for maximizing compression ratios. xTool is a powerful pre-processor frequently used in the "repacking" community to handle zlib, lzma, and other streams before passing them to a final compressor like SREP or LZMA. xtool precomp usage

@echo off echo Precompiling assets... xtool precomp --force --platform win32 ./Assets/Raw ./Assets/Cooked if %errorlevel% neq 0 ( echo Precompilation failed! exit /b %errorlevel% ) echo Assets compiled successfully.

Disable slow codecs like lzma if the file mainly contains zlib streams. xTool is a powerful pre-processor frequently used in

🚀 It significantly improves the compression ratio of already-compressed data. Basic Syntax and Commands

The precomp command is used to process raw assets (like shaders, textures, or models) into optimized binary formats that the target engine can load quickly. This reduces runtime overhead and ensures assets are validated before deployment. exit /b %errorlevel% ) echo Assets compiled successfully

This is the most common use case. It takes raw .hlsl or .glsl files and compiles them into optimized bytecode.

Here’s a useful breakdown of (often written as xtool precomp in some contexts, but the correct command is typically xprecomp ).
