    Hi there,

    @foghorn suggested I repost this in a more visible location.

    I went through and ported XNBNode to run under OSX and I believe also Linux (I have not tested Linux yet.)
    All I really did was replace the compression routines to go to use the LZ4 module instead of calling the XMemCompress API. I did not do much work on this, the authors of XNBNode did a good job with the software and made it easy for a guy who has not even touched Node or JavaScript to slot in the other compression scheme.

    The fork is here: https://github.com/drglove/XNBNode
    There is a release in there that should work on OSX that includes the node binaries + my dependencies.

    EDIT: This is busted in 1.1. It looks like the OSX build went back to using LZX compression, which I don't have an implementation for. Hopefully it's not LZX D. I'll try my hand at implementing LZX myself and see how things go. Until then, my fork is broken.

        No, sorry. Never was able to figure out a good solution after the patch. The only way forward with that is to get the Windows binaries to load in OSX I think.
