Men.Of.War DVD9 to 2xdvd5

[kapto]

How can I split
2xdvd5 ?

[senseman]

1. Create two temp folders:

Men of War_1
Men of War_2

dvd1
all files/folders except :

mow_setup-5.bin
mow_setup-6.bin
mow_setup-7.bin

Edit autorun.inf with notepad:

[autorun]
open=mow_setup.exe
icon=mow_setup.exe
shell\install = &Install
shell\install\command = setup.exe
shell\install1 = Install &DirectX 9.0c
shell\install1\command = DirectX\DXSETUP.exe

dvd2
all files/folders except :

mow_setup-1.bin
mow_setup-2.bin
mow_setup-3.bin
mow_setup-4.bin

Edit second DVD's autorun.inf with notepad:

[autorun]
open=0
icon=mow_setup.exe



Now make ISO files:

First DVD's label will be : Men of War_1
Second DVD's label will be : Men of War_2


TESTED BY ME %100 WORKS

Men Of War DVD5 Eng only non-proper
1) Need to copy manually video_common.pak [for now] to installed folder
[ofcourse that file you get from installed directory from dvd9]
2) Create image/folder with all files from dvd9 except:
mow_setup-3.bin
mow_setup-6.bin
mow_setup-7.bin
3) Download fake mow_setup-3.bin
mow_setup-3 - FAKE.rar (http://fileforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=837&stc=1&d=1235498843)

under installation you get error with corrupted video_common.pak and u hit skip - installer continues...
after installation ends must copy that file to installed folder

--------
iss script extracted from orginal installer

You guys are thinking too much but as always missing the simplest things..

Just install the game in the language you want and record to a dvd the pre-installed game wich is 2.9gb size.
Can be copied (the whole folder) from a pc to another and run without any kind of installation or registry key.
Add the \Support\directx folder to your dvd to manual update directx if needed on the target installation pc.


surely for future game updates could be needed the registry info wich is:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\1C\{137D91E1-2347-4EAC-BB0B-CC06C6B92A52}]
"InstallDir"="E:\\YourInstallDir\\Men of War"
"AppFile"="E:\\YourInstallDir\\Men of War\\mow.exe"
"AppVersion"="1.0.2.0"



of course according to your partition/target drive and target dir

----- EDIT (more over) ------

If for some reason you want to keep the game in more than one language (as im spanish and the spanish voices sucks but a friend wants it in spanish anyway) you can:

- install the game in the first language you want
- go to the install dir and make a backup or rename the file localization.pak to localizationFIRSTLANG.pak or whatever you want.
- open the windows registry editor, search for this key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Uninstall\{137D91E1-2347-4EAC-BB0B-CC06C6B92A52}_is1]
(could be a different key, just check whatever key there in the uninstall section has the mens of war's installation data inside)
- delete or rename that key
- Run the dvd9 installer again and install the game in whatever your second language will be, using the same install folder (like overwrite the previous installation but it will just add the extra languages)
- the new localization.pak will be your second language, make another backup or rename to localizationSECONDLANG.pak or whatever you want and
now you can switch between your 2 installed languages by putting the desired localization.pak in the install dir.

4.15 gb english+spanish preinstalled game + Directx + fix + backup of original binaries.

@ senseman

works like charm on vistax64
great job

Have you considered that maybe it doesn't need dvd2, mondragons extracted iss scripts shows that spanish files end at setup-3.bin then comes english, french and italian so there is nothing what spanish install would need from setup4-7.bins

Basically DVD9 to 2xDVD5 conversion is also Spanish only DVD5 conversion if you don't make DVD2

Thanks ravd, you're right. I've tested it on XP "SP3-faked" and works fine.
