Batman Arkham City - 2xDVD9 to 4xDVD5 (Inno Setup)

[Fabioddq]

Batman Arkham City - 2xDVD9 to 4xDVD5 or 3xDVD5 (Inno Setup)

This is a modified version of original script by Peterf1999 for the Witcher 2.
I tested in retail version MULTI8: EN/DE/FR/ES/IT/PT-BR/PL/RU and Win7 64Bits.

Images: I found in Google images.
Music: The Damned Things - Trophy Widow (From Batman Arkham City - The Album).
Reg Entries for: Pakrat2k2

Thanks to: Pakrat2k2 (for help to fix few change in the script).

4xDVD5:
1. Install the game by your choice of language.
2. Download attachment and extract in your HD (Not in your game folder).
3. Edit BatmanAC.iss with Inno Setup (ANSI version is recomended) and change the first line according to your game installation path:
#define SourcePath "D:\Games\Batman Arkham City\"

4. Save it and press compile. Compile process will take 2 hours, depend of your system.
5. Your files will be in the Compiled folder.

6. Move:
Setup.exe, Setup-1*.bin to Disk 1 folder.
Move Setup-2*.bin to Disk 2 folder.
Move Setup-3*.bin to Disk 3 folder.
Move Setup-4*.bin to Disk 4 folder.

7. Burn or make ISO's with same folder names.

DVD1: 4,36GB
DVD2: 4,36GB
DVD3: 4,36GB
DVD4: 837MB


3xDVD5:
1. Install the game. (add DLC pack if you wish, only increases 100MB in the final conversion), thanks to Sulfurum1989 that showed this point.
2. Go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\WB Games\Batman Arkham City\BmGame\CookedPCConsole\
3. You will see 5 languages subfolders: English, France, German, Italian, Spain.
4. Removed or deleted 4 and leave 1 (English for example).
5. Download attachment and following the same instructions for 4xDVD5.

DVD1: 4,36GB
DVD2: 4,36GB
DVD3: 3,93GB (no DLC pack included).

alias-as was only asking IF possible for 3xDVD5 NOT that he had done it.

for deleting languages... in C:\Program Files (x86)\WB Games\Batman Arkham City\BmGame\CookedPCConsole there are 5 language subfolders: English, French, German, Spanish, Italian. Deleting 4 of them results in a reduction of 1.32GB only.

The biggest folder @ 7.33GB is C:\Program Files (x86)\WB Games\Batman Arkham City\BmGame\MoviesStereo. damn pc problem... bluescreen at 50% freearc archive was 3.3GB at that time.

ADD the info about removing languages to your first post ;) and add the NEW dvd sizes too.

[sulfurum1989]

if you add the dlc pack fits in 3 dvd5 too , only increases 100 mb the final conversion

(when you delete the foreign languages)

What is your path where you installed the game? Probably, you are not selecting the correct directory.

Change:

D:\Games\Batman Arkham City\

to your game installation folder, if you using default dir, the path is:

C:\Program Files (x86)\WB Games\Batman Arkham City\

Anyway, you must use Inno Setup ANSI version, not Unicode version.
Look this topic about how to download this version:

Probably, this file vcredist_x86.exe is missing in your game installation folder. Make sure that you have in your original files, the folder Setup with the archives:

DXRedist folder, AMD_DCOptSetup.exe, dotnetfx35.exe, gfwlivesetup.exe and vcredist_x86.exe

Make sure before you make the conversion! I tested several times, so no bugs! :D
Anyway, download the attachment version 2.0. :D
Thanks!

So I can not help it. Conversions include several changes in the layout of setup. I not remember about any conversion that maintained the original layout setup.
Sorry guy! Thanks! ;)

Before starting the conversion make a dir on your "installation directory"
& name it "setup" - put in - the DirectX folder & the files VCredistxx & gwlivexx.exe

Start the conversion & the everything in gonna be ok.. i've just check it..

[Fabioddq]

Another interesting point. Thanks Kozakis!

If you change the compression, You will have to use 4xDVD5.
I tested with 3xDVD5 and installation progress worked normally.
Check your DVD's, maybe they are with any problems or make ISO's and test it before you burn.

please help, if i want create 4 dvd or more (for fast compression and decompression), can you help me with the value ..

LZMADictionarySize=65536
CompressionThreads=2
LZMANumFastBytes=273
SolidCompression=yes
LZMAUseSeparateProcess=yes

Thanks

[Fabioddq]

If you change:
Compression = lzma2/ultra
to:
Compression = none
The conversion will be faster. (4xDVD5).
Now for the other values​​, sorry but I don't know. Perhaps another user can help you. :D

for faster compression/decompression IF your NOT using dual/quad core CPU

;LZMADictionarySize=65536
;CompressionThreads=2
;LZMANumFastBytes=273
;LZMAUseSeparateProcess=yes

the ; at the front of the line basically means skip the line. IF you want to know more, with the ISS script open in INNO click on help, it will in detail show you what you can change the values too.

Read with more attention the step #3 in the first post. :cool:
You must use Inno Setup ANSI version, not Unicode version.

Inno Setup 5.4.2 (u) ---> This "u" shows that you using Unicode version.
Inno Setup 5.4.2 (a) ---> This "a" shows that you using ANSI version.

Look this topic about how to download the ANSI version: :D

there's mistype word in first line of iss file. Says D: \Games\Batman Arkhan City

and should be

D: \Games\Batman Arkham City

just change that and change it to your path.

Mine are for example

h: \Games\Batman Arkham City

and thats it....

[pakrat2k2]

doesnt really matter, you change it to where you game is installed anyways ;)

[DonHomerone]

BTW, downloaded and used this script but made a couple of changes to fit my needs... also, add 1 registry key and check for another different one??? that's useless... maybe you should check both on main script and autorun one too

[Fabioddq]

Sorry, I just realized this error after uploading the script 2.0.
So, Dont worry, doesnt really matter! :D
Thanks!

[rastan76]

these files are not in the installation folder or on the installation DVD, where can I download them? you can upload them here?

These files are in the root of the original retail dvd#1 (they're not in a subfolder, just in the root, except for DirectX) , or if you have the digital copy from steam, you can find them in "Steam/Steamapps/Common/Batman2/Setup" .

To make a perfect installation you have to create a folder named "Setup" in your original Game directory, then copy in it the files and the folder I've marked in this image (taken from DVD1).

Anyway, you can find all this additional setup in Microsoft site, except for AMD_DCOptSetup (AMD Dual Core Optimizer) . If you haven't an AMD processor, this file is useless for you :) (in any case , just type it on google to find it, is it too difficult????? ;))

You can not make the Setup folder in DVD3. You must have the Setup folder in the game folder before the conversion. If you not have, create the Setup folder and put the following archives and folders:

DXRedist folder
vcredist_x86.exe
gfwlivesetup.exe and xliveinstall.dll

[WaltonSimons]

Is it possible to update this conversion to support all languages at once and choose one at beginning of installation? Please advise.

EDIT: Apologies, I failed to notice that the conversion supports this already. I should read things more carefully.

EDIT 2: It did require some fixing though, I needed to translate some entries that were to display on Polish machines and I also replaced the music with BAC's title theme. I'll PM you with the updated version and you'll decide whether to post it in the OP or discard it.

EDIT 3: I am also putting 2x+1's advice to a test. We'll see how this works.

You must indicate your game directory. For example, if your game directory is the same, leave like this:

"D:\Games\Batman Arkham City\"

Second: Put this path according to your game installation path:

pre-requisites must be in your game installation folder before you make the conversion. Copy Setup folder from your original DVD9.

then below the 1.6 ... line add

'1.7' : ARatio:='16_9';

then do a search thru the script for bgImage.Stretch & change true to false.

Same Error!... This conversion is for Batman Arkham City Batman Arkham City Game Of The Year ???????????

It's not, but it can be used for it. It will work normally.


3. Edit BatmanAC.iss with Inno Setup (ANSI version is recomended) and change the first line according to your game installation path:
#define SourcePath "D:\Games\Batman Arkham City\"

So (for example), if you installed the game into
C:\Program Files\Batman Arkham City\
then change the line to that path.
