Working prefectly in Win 7 32bit

[d00m3d]

It works nice, thanks, but can't it be compressed more/differently so that the patch can fit as well?

I'm not interested in eg lowering the quality of the videos, but using precomp + srep, etc.

[silverdoe]

-mx -ld400, -ld800 or -ld1600?

[BAMsE]

silverdoe I used -ld800

d00m3d the game isn't "precompable" but this conversion still update itself via AssassinCreedLauncher.exe. You can also try to apply the patch and them make whole conversion. If it'll suit DVD5 I'll post fixed setup.dll to correctly register game as 1.01

[The-revenge]

thanks a lot. Your conversion is great and very simply to make.
EDIT : don't work with update?

[BAMsE]

The-revenge it runs correctly if patch is applied on converted and installed game. I don't know it works if you convert patched one and use setup for 1.00

To everybody who decide to convert updated 1.01 version - use attached "setup.dll_for_1.01.rar" instead of "setup.dll" from first post. I don't guarantee the correct behavior of the updater if there are new updates in feature.

[The-revenge]

thank you bamse for the hint, now i try and share my experience for the conversion of patched games.

[robysnake91]

I can not understand, the two files. cab are respectively:
data1 1.43gb
data2 2.98gb

so I can not burn the iso created 4.45gb how can I do?
where I went wrong?
ps:
I deleted the files, leaving only the Italian

maybe the italian files (video i think) are bigger than files of foreign languages.
Check this first.
If the video files are in .bik format, you can compress with RAD tool. Check the exceeded size, and then compress in function of this

can you tell me the size of your two cab files
i've this problem, i can't burn these files, their + the installations files are about 4.45gb

data1.cab 1.43gb
data2.cab 2.98gb

perhaps the problem is my pc, it has a single cpu with only 1 gb of ram

thx to all

thx!!!I had not thought!!

[Schabik]

The Video files are too big so the whole DVD has 4,5gb. In my opinion recompressing the video files that have at least 20mb can do the trick. The profit will be at least 100mb so it can be easly burned on the DVD 4,7GB.

[BAMsE]

data1.cab 1.43gb
data2.cab 2.98gb

Are you sure it's correct, not the other way about? I think you make some mistakes. Try again. My data1.cab is very similar to your and data2.cab has 1.36GB

Schabik I have polish version too and it fits DVD5.

Maybe you guys try to convert updated game and this is a problem.

There is a fast and easy method to rip unnecessary sound tracks from bicks. I.e. "Previously_On.bik" has 10 of it (2 for background sound + 8 for different languages). Removing 7 of them gives approx. 15MB :)

[Schabik]

BAMsE I'm sure that I've compressed files from original 1.0 version not 1.1 because I did it on my laptop not on the desktop computer that I play on. I've compressed both files (data1.cab and data2.cab) with the -mx -ld800 like you suggested but my files are:
data1.cab 1.5gb
data2.cab 3.0gb
I'm guessing that you hadn't left the sounds_eng.pck, sounds_eng_dlc_03.pck so your package for data2.cab is smaller.
Or there is something that you forgot to tell. Check your conversion:)
after recompressing the videos the profit is about 433mb so if you go lower with the recompression (the worst quality of the videos, believe me you don't wanna do it) you might even add the 1.01 patch.

[Van Helsing]

can you tell me the size of your two cab files
i've this problem, i can't burn these files, their + the installations files are about 4.45gb

data1.cab 1.43gb
data2.cab 2.98gb

thx to all

@robysnake91, my data1.cab is 2,94GB, data2.cab is 1,34GB. If you don't believe me, here is picture:

[Schabik]

Thanks to your conversion I have an idea how to do the conversion with original installation. :D I'm gonna do it and test it today:D

[kristy21]

maybe the italian files (video i think) are bigger than files of foreign languages.
Check this first.
If the video files are in .bik format, you can compress with RAD tool. Check the exceeded size, and then compress in function of this

Hmm I tried rad tools but the only one audio track is tagged....I hear only the back ground music after compressing the bik ...any help please

[Schabik]

Hmm I tried rad tools but the only one audio track is tagged....I hear only the back ground music after compressing the bik ...any help please

It doesn't matter in the game sound will be ok, the voices are added by sounds_eng.pck i think so if you recompress the bik files with RAD Tools and it won't have any effect on the voices only the sound in the video will be in different quality (but it depends on your choice of sound's bitrate, sample rate, audio quality and Audio Codec you use to recompress videos).

I recompress files simply:
1. Convert with RAD Tools from *.bik to *.avi with Xvid Codec.
2. Change with program named Ultra Video Converter the size of the video from 1280x720 to 640x352, and the quality of the video and the sound to "good", frame rate of the converted video is the same as the source video, sample rate set to 44100 Hz, Audio Codec: MP3, Letter Box: Full Image, Aspect Rate: "Auto", Video Codec: "Xvid", Output Format: "Avi Xvid Format (*.avi)".
3. Convert the files recompressed with Ultra Video Converter to *.bik using RAD Tools.
4. That's All

[BAMsE]

kristy21 after recompressing biks only first track remains and other are deleted. You must extract necessary tracks from original file and put it into converted one. It's simply:

1. For this game tracks 0, 2 and 3 are "environmental" and others are for particular language. Find your one by advanced playing original file:

3011

2. Extract tracks 0, 2, 3 and your one to wav format:

3012

3. Mix extracted tracks to converted file (remember to mix them on correct ID):

3013

[Schabik]

I've compared the converted video and the original video of my own and the only change is the resolution. It has changed from 1280x720 to 640x352 so I don't think that what you BaMSE are saying is necessary.

[BAMsE]

sCHABIK how you want to convert to avi with multiple sound stream??? It's impossible without additional tools.

the voices are added by sounds_eng.pck
...only for cinematics generated by game's engine, biks have its own sound

[kristy21]

lots of thanks BAMsE..Now I'll start the work..

[The-revenge]

it's possibile to delete foreign languages in the .bik files and leave only one? It's a question i have been for long time, and maybe it's a solution for this problem

[BAMsE]

The-revenge yes, just look at 3rd screen in my previous post. First type "-" (without quotes) instead of browsing external audio file, then point the audio stream ID you want to delete ("Mix into what Bink...") :D

[Schabik]

BAMsE the videos that I've converted are:
ACR_MP_SEQ01_L
ACR_MP_SEQ02_C
ACR_MP_SEQ03_C
ACR_MP_SEQ04_L
ACR_MP_SEQ05_C
ACR_MP_SEQ06_C
ACR_MP_SEQ08_C
ACR_MP_SEQ09_L
ACR_MP_SEQ10_L
flashback_altair
Previously_On
previouslyon_ezio
sp_end_cgi

even when I've converted the biks in Dragon Age 2 where if I remember correctly is an audio track on each video the game worked correctly:) so I'm pretty sure that our both conversions should work

[BAMsE]

Schabik run RAD Tools and check properties ("File info") of the original and converted "Previously_On.bik". How many tracks are there? Or try to "Advanced play" both of them and choose i.e. italian lang (ID 5). Do you see the difference?

[Schabik]

ok you were right:D I've just tested the converted video and there were no english dialogs. I've added the enviromental sounds and english dialogs.

As BAMsE says Tracks 0, 2 and 3 are enviromental and they are responsible for music and sounds of weather or something like that (i didn't check that)

And now which track is for which language:

Track 1 - English
Track 4 - French
Track 5 - Italian
Track 6 - German
Track 7 - Spanish
Track 8 - Japanese
Track 9 - Russian

[pakrat2k2]

thanks Schabik for the language track ID's, comes in handy knowing what trackID you want to keep & discard the rest for a 1 language only install.

[Schabik]

No problem pakrat2k2:)

[The-revenge]

i have a question, after I extract the 3 .wav file, e.g. 2,3 and 5 (0 is the only audio trace of compressed bink, it's right?) what should I do to remixing this 3 audio files with the compressed new bink? I need to remix once at time?
EDIT : I discovered a simply metod to delete the other languages without recompress .bik file. In "mix in sound", in the field "sound file to mix" enter a "-" and the number of track wich you want to delete. But there are 2 problem, the first is the question if work a multiple command of this type (e.g -1 -4 -6 -7 -8 -9) in a single operation, and the second problem is....that don't work for me :D return an error "error opening the audio input file"
EDIT2 : problem solved. For everyone have the same problem, in the field "sound file to mix" must be insert only a "-" and not a "-" + number track (e.g. -5 NO!!!). The number of track to delete must be insert in the filed "mix into what bik track ecc ecc".
Thanks pakrat2k2 to say this, initially I had not understand.

[The-revenge]

After deleted foreign langues from .bik file, the space gained is only 40 mb.
Then I ask you, the folder multi (1,12 gb) is for multiplayer? In case of positive answer, it's possibile to delete it for include update 1.01.

The-revenge I see you're carefully reading all posts, especially these answering YOUR questions. Nothing more to say...

[The-revenge]

sorry Bamse, was a my misurdenstand of correct procedure to delete a language.
Btw, with compression Ultra (ld1600m) , italian version, patch update 1.01 (with bamse's setup 1.01) conversion fit in DVD5 and work great.

[anadius]

Works fine. Win7 32bit SP1. Spoken: English.

@BAMsE
Change this line:
5. Go to {game_folder}\videos, delete every FOLDER but one of prefered language
'cause it sounds like leaving the same language as spoken. In fact when you choose, for example, polish lang during installation you don't need folder with spoken lang (in my case - "en").

[pakrat2k2]

no its correct if you read it right.. you delete all languages EXCEPT the one you want to use for the install.

[BAMsE]

First post updated due to 1.02 patch. Have fun :)

[prince-k7]

Use alchol 120% or daemon tools

[silviugut]

After two days of hard work we managed to do the conversion with Update 1.02 fit on a DVD5! Thanks Bamse and Schabik for detailed information! Conversion works great on Windows 7 x32 bit!

[dongato1306]

anybody help me? my cabs are like this:
cab1.bin 3.210.204 kbs
cab2.bin 1.0405.725 kbs

I did it with the update 1.02. :S It don't entry for 70 mbs + or -. Thanks very much

PD: sorry for my english, I am Argentinian

[BAMsE]

dongato1306 if you expect help, please be more accurate.
1. there's no cab#.bin files
2. 2nd file is 1.0405.725 or 1.405.725
3. it's in kB or KB unit (yes, it makes difference :) )? I suppose that's not kb

So if it's 1405725kB I don't understand what's the problem: 3210204 + 1405725 = 4615929 < 4700000 kB

[dongato1306]

thanks for replaying and sorry for the delay, well, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
http://subefotos.com/ver/?88280943dd17d52d5bcd12b571c40f48o.jpg

Any idea?

[BAMsE]

dongato1306 there are two ways to shrink the size:
1. use -mx -ld1600 method instead -mx -ld800
2. delete foreign languages from bik files (see this (http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=399699&postcount=27) and this (http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=399686&postcount=22) post and here (http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=399725&postcount=30) you'll find all tracks listed). It gives you extra ~75MB

EDIT: I attached files to #1 post to automate audio removing

[Andrew90]

i tryed the conversion with the game updated to 1.03 and with dlc "the lost archive", the installation work fine, but when i launch the game it crash with ACRSP.exe stop working.
i tryed to edit some reg key but nothing... is possible have 1.03 setup.dll?

[BAMsE]

Andrew90 I don't have the script file for this game anymore so I can't update setup.dll to 1.03
But you can do as follows:
1. uninstall conversion
2. install original / update to 1.03
3. open registry editor and export two keys:
HKLM\Software\Ubisoft\Assassin's Creed Revelations
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uni nstall\{3B...................
(I don't remember it exactly so look around - there'll be DisplayName______REG_SZ______Assassin's Creed Revelation data)
4. uninstall oryginal
5. burn two reg files on conversion DVD
6. install your conversion (1.03 with 1.02 setup.dll) / run two exported reg files


Another way: if you have 1.02 in registry just use AssassinsCreedRevelations.exe to update it to 1.03. Now you have 1.03 in registry so you may export two above-mentioned keys

[Andrew90]

yes, i tryed to install the game with update 1.03 and export all regkeys (i used revo uninstaller for see which keys add to registry), but when i install the conversion and add the regkeys, the game doesn't work...
I will do the conversion with the game updated to 1.02.
thank you anyway :)

[Smurf Stomper]

if anyone's interest I could post my conversion - what it will let you do is put patches 1.01 & 1.02 on the disc (not slipstreamed, as the standalone .exe's) along with the 1.02 crack, which is the most recent crack released for the game.

I accomplished this by editing the installshield cab files - removing foreign lang audio & inserting 9 resampled (@76%) multiplayer videos.

My final .iso had 13 mb or so to spare to fit on a dvd9.

[BAMsE]

You can resample MP videos or replace them with dummy files.
What about sounds_eng.pck... Well, you need it if your non english installation still uses english voices (e.g. polish subtitles + english voices). If your installation is e.g. french, it uses own voices and during update sounds_fra.pck is needed

[Fox22743]

* if you decided to convert 1.02 or higher version, download audio_remover.rar, unpack it to Videos folder and run i.e. !french.rlst for leaving French only


Just checked and the !french.rlst and !english.rlst contents are exactly the same. Which means if you run the !french.rlst you will be removing french audio and leaving english still. If you edit with notepad, just change all /t4 to /t1 in the !french.rlst and you should be fine. Unless i missed something and i'm completely messing this up.

[BAMsE]

Fox22743 you're right, thx for the info. Attachment updated.

Yea ok seen it now and it seems that i have made a mistake with one file.

You can just open "Setup.ini" file and remove the red line shown here below:


[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile3=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile4=Data4.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile5=Data5.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2;


Or download this file and replace with the old setup.ini (Please let me know if the conversion works correctly. Spent many hours remaking this conversion and mostly because of some registry issues.)

Excuse me - what is {game_dvd}\support HOW THE HELL NORMAL HUMAN BEING IS SUPPOST TO UNDERSTAND AND FIND {game_dvd}\support ??????????????????WHAT The hell is that?? Mr.''Helper'''

First of all there is no need to be rude.

Secondly if you weren't a noob (and used computers to do just about anything), you would understand that {game_dvd}\support means the support folder on your original dvd (the one you bought in-store). This is of course assuming that you own an original game and you did not download your's off the internet like a pirate (tsk tsk very bad). This forum does not help pirates.

Thirdly (and I'm just mentioning this so that it does not get asked later by you or other noobs), {game_folder}\videos is the videos folder in your game installation directory.

I wonder how you even used the audio remover if you don't know a simple thing like {game_dvd}\support.

[BAMsE]

@onirunedisciples go {home} man ;)
