Conversion reuploaded.

Let's look how long this one lasts before DMCA bots strike again :D

[zirkhaki]

you said in another topic that we should do this:

PS: Make sure to not compress 72 bytes videos with bpk, they will give crc error (exclude them).

is it necessary now or you have done the setting? I checked the Diskspan setting but I found nothing.

[KaktoR]

Study "_Tools\CopyFiles.bat" and "CopyFilesBack.bat" :)

What they do: CopyFiles.bat moves all the 72b videos to Output folder. CopyFilesBack.bat copy all the 72b videos back to game folder after conversion is finished + move the files in Output folder to last DVD. Setup.exe will copy them to game folder after installation. I didn't want to use 2 archives just for this (because you will get weird % in installation with 2 diskspan archives)

[zirkhaki]

thanks. I was not familiar with this method. So how can we attach some files to setup.exe, like the method you've used.

sometimes I compress a game and then realize that a small file is forgotten. how can we do this. that is very useful. If its possible, answer this here or private message.

[KaktoR]

In CIU Setup.ini you have the possibility to execute cmd commands after installation is done.

Example to copy a file from source to target
[CMDCommands]
copy /Y "{src}\folder1\file1.txt" "{app}\folder1\"

[zirkhaki]

so specifically for this game we should do something like this:


[CMDCommands]
copy /Y "{src}\game\cinematics\videos\golden_path\05_blade\ B_20_10.vib" "{app}\game\cinematics\videos\golden_path\05_blade\"

copy /Y "{src}\game\cinematics\videos\Realizations\blade4_o utro\Blade4_Outro.vib" "{app}\game\cinematics\videos\Realizations\blade4_o utro\"
.
.
.
.


and there is no need to put the file name for destination address? just the folder address is needed?

and we should put the source folder in CIUv main folder?

[KaktoR]

For this game it is easier to use this
xcopy /e /i /y /q "{src}\game" "{app}" >nul 2>&1

It will copy the whole folder + subfolders and all it's file to {app} folder.

No need for destination file name.

Source folder ({src}) is simply from where you install it. It has nothing to do with CIU folder. It's the same if you would like to install redist from disc.

[zirkhaki]

so the folders that need to be copied should be in setup folder. First DVD or the last one?

and for other games, did i mention the right method?
[CMDCommands]
copy /Y "{src}\game\cinematics\videos\golden_path\05_blade\ B_20_10.vib" "{app}\game\cinematics\videos\golden_path\05_blade"

sorry to bother you, but this is really intersting for me.

Yes, always last disk! Otherwise cmd can't find files because you have last disk inserted, but required files are in first disk (for example).

For single file you can use copy command. For many files or folders you should use xcopy instead with parameters to include subfolders and files and recursive copy.

If you use just "copy" command, don't forget to add a \ at target folder ("{app}\game\cinematics\videos\golden_path\05_blade\")

[zirkhaki]

I tried both memthods (copy & xcopy)
none of them worked for me. I tried xcopy with different switches but it didn't worked too.

I have this:

[CMDCommands_]

IF EXIST "{src}\NEW_FILES" RD "{src}\NEW_FILES" /S /Q
MD "{src}\NEW_FILES"
COPY /Y "{src}\ORIG_FILES\*.dll" "{src}\NEW_FILES\*.dll"
COPY /Y "{src}\ORIG_FILES\*.bmp" "{src}\NEW_FILES\*.bmp"


xcopy /e /i /y /q "{src}\game" "{app}" >nul 2>&1
//xcopy /h /c /k /e /r /y "{src}\game" "{app}"
//xcopy "{src}\game" "{app}" /h /c /k /e /r /y
//COPY /Y "{src}\game\cinematics\videos\golden_path\05_blade\ B_20_10.vib" "{app}\game\cinematics\videos\golden_path\05_blade\"


I don't know what this part is for:
IF EXIST "{src}\NEW_FILES" RD "{src}\NEW_FILES" /S /Q
MD "{src}\NEW_FILES"
COPY /Y "{src}\ORIG_FILES\*.dll" "{src}\NEW_FILES\*.dll"
COPY /Y "{src}\ORIG_FILES\*.bmp" "{src}\NEW_FILES\*.bmp"

but I disable that part too. still nothing

tried your setup, but it copies "cinematics" folder in its sub-directories and files but it should copy "game" and its sub-directories and files.

I read some topics about xcopy but nothing worked for me.
is "[CMDCommands_]" active by defaul or it should be activated somewhere?

Oh well :D I will fix this

Activate it by remove the underline

The part in your code is only a example. You can remove it

Edit:
Setup_Fix added.

It should be
xcopy /e /i /y /q "{src}\game" "{app}\game" >nul 2>&1

Keep in mind that this section is basically a batch script. If you like to disable lines then add :: infront of the line instead of //.

[zirkhaki]

thanks to you now I learned a new thing. I appreciate that.

now everything works fine.

Thank you KaktoR for conversion
I got 12x dvd 5 with the benchmark file

But i want to ask
In folder dvd 12, i got folder game, it's right?
http://i.ibb.co/8Yd9ZJx/Shadow-of-war.png

And when i try to install, near of the end installation, blue cmd appears and just close it.
And i check folder game in dvd 12 not copy in installation.

It's normal/ i make mistake during compress?

[KaktoR]

You use SetupFix?

The "game" folder on dvd12 should be copied to install folder (this are just some 72 bytes files of the game. Compress on this files result in crc errors on installation. I'm not sure if the game runs without this files).

Yes, alredy use the setup fix

Size "game" folder
http://i.ibb.co/gZ5WyLQ/Sow-1.png

Result from install "game" folder
http://i.ibb.co/j3Bc5Bk/Sow-2.png

Is that right?
Btw the won't run with the "tm"

[KaktoR]

Just search for the 72byte files (should be 52 files together) in install dir. If they are in install dir then all is good :)

Thanks KaktoR for the explanation:)

I'd installed the game which compressed with oo2reck+srep:m3f+lolz:dt0:d64m:mt4:tt1

None of my installers worked. I tried CIUV2 v2.0.3.9 U15.2 and CUIv3.
one of my installers, install the game till 5.5% and then stuck.

your installer worked for me and it took more than 5 hours to install, but the game didn't run. I found that the "™" mark in game directory address is the problem.

could you please make a fix and change "Middle-earth™ Shadow of War™ Definitive Edition" to "Middle-earth Shadow of War Definitive Edition"

I know I can change the address while installing the game but later I may forget

[KaktoR]

Setup Fix #2 added.

Have you put the dll from game into ciu archive?

It souns like you're using the wrong oo2core dll

[zirkhaki]

yes I did. I used the proper version (vrsion 5 which is 914kb). I think I might use the wrong lolz to decompress.
could you please send me the lolz file you have used or if its possible, send me the include folder.

you know, after using CIUv3 I've got some errors in different games. I think the reason was that there is only one Diskspan with it (the one that you always use), but I use the other version, I tried to update its file to make it compatible with new CIUv3 (I mean som cls files and ini files specificly lolz compressor and decompressor and its ini).
when I use the old diskspan and CIUv2 I have no problem.

Thanks Kaktor for sending the files. I checked my folder and I had the *same files, except that I didn't have "oo2scan_7_win64.exe" and I thought it was to scan the files. anyway I put that in specified folder and also saw that setup.vsf is not deleted so I deleted it and did the project again. this time everything worked.
I think the main problem was the setup.spv file

[KaktoR]

Conversion updated.

[prudislav]

Helo, could you make modified exe with just 96.46GB requirement?(english only without special textures)

[Cesar82]

Helo, could you make modified exe with just 96.46GB requirement?(english only without special textures)
Just add an external Setup.ini file with the desired size and language settings.
Test adding the Setup.ini file attachment with the setup.exe.

[prudislav]

awesome , didnt knew this part thx

[KaktoR]

Will update Setup soon again with new diskspan (you can choose between disk sizes).

Edit: Already done, forgot about this :D
