Alan Wake
(2x DVD5) *INNO+Srep+FreeArc(LZMA)* or (1x DVD5) Biks Resampling

1) Extract 'AW_2xDVD5.7z' contents

2) From 'Alan Wake' folder, create 'Data1.bin' archive:

e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\*" -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\thirdparty\*" -msrep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8 "C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\*"

3) Remove the foreign languages files from 'data' folder (ep999-000-XX.bin,ep999-000-XX.rmdp) except ep999-000-en.bin,ep999-000-en.rmdp files and then from 'Alan Wake' folder create 'Data2.bin' archive:

e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk2\Data2.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\videos\*" -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\*"

4) Move from Game's installation folder to 'Alan Wake\Disk1' folder :

'thirdparty' folder
'videos' folder

5) Burn or make isos with label names of your choice


1x DVD5 conversion needs to replace the original videos with resampled biks at ~45% bitrate.

Hello,

You are right
I just tried to resampled some videos at 40%, 30MB and up files only (didn't touch files from dlc's folder, just main video) and I got 4.3 GB using only FreeArc -mx (full support to two languages)

Thanks for your work.

i didn't understand
2) From 'Alan Wake' folder, create 'Data1.bin' archive:

Code:

e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\*" -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\thirdparty\*" -msrep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8 "C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\*"

3) Remove the foreign languages files from 'data' folder (ep999-000-XX.bin,ep999-000-XX.rmdp) except ep999-000-en.bin,ep999-000-en.rmdp files and then from 'Alan Wake' folder create 'Data2.bin' archive:

Code:

e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk2\Data2.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainmen

Added the percentage text on the progress bar during internal/external files copy.

[d00m3d]

Hm.. For me, Data1.bin is ~7.1GB and Data2.bin is ~2.1GB..

Not sure what went wrong as I got no error messages. Can you double check what's in the code tag works as you intended..?

[peterf1999]

@d00m3d

Put compress.bat in 'alan wake' conversion folder and then run it.

Update 2:
Now the installer supports the videos and as well the images slideshow during installation time

[d00m3d]

Thank you for the .bat to simplify the procedure, but I redid everything and it worked. Not sure what I had done wrong :P

orry I wanted to ask if the game creates a key in the registry because when I go to uninstall and then reinstall it tells me the autorun and Uninstall play is on.
What is the directory that it creates in the registry?

[pakrat2k2]

lupetto77 you need to uninstall from original instalation before trying from dvd5 conversion.

[lupetto77]

Sorry my fault I was solved. :) -

[pakrat2k2]

[karimazwaw]

[pakrat2k2]

I downloaded the 2 joint pieces, i put the compress.bat on my "alan wake" installed folder, and i followed the inscrution on the CMD window and compression is done succefully (take about 1 hour) and finally got [Disk1/Data1.bin (3.65Mo) it's Mega not Giga] and [Disk2/Data2.bin (3.05 Go)] and many files outside theses Disk1 & Disk2 folders ! the size of all is: 11.6 Go!

How do i procede please ?

[pakrat2k2]

karimazwaw, NEVER extract into your game folder always a temp folder. you d/l the 2 joint pieces, extract them into same temp folder, then run the updated compress.bat ( from d/l #2... original post #1 & second part from post #7 )

Youd take DISK1 and burn its contents to dvd#1 then DISK2 contents burn that to dvd#2. REMOVE from game folder, uninstall original game, reinstall from dvd5 converted disks anytime after that.

BaMse topic is here & works perfectly... take longer as you reencode biks, but works fine, ALL on 1dvd5 in 1 language.

Conversion works with 1.05.16.5341 update

[adamee007]

Can someone tell me howto extract files in those *.bin files?

[pakrat2k2]

there created with freearc, so open with same.

[adamee007]

But when I want to extract it, that give me error message.

HIBA: "D:\DVD_2\Setup-2c.arc" fájl nem archívum vagy hibás: a fájl végéből hiányzik az archívumjelző bejegyzés. Az "r" parancs kijavítja a fájlt, a -tp- opció figyelmen kívül hagyja a sérülésvédelmet.

In English:

Error: "D:\DVD_2\Setup-2c.arc" the file is not an archive orr corrupted: the archive entry from the end of the file is missing. Command r repair the file, -tp- option ignore the injuryprotection. The file was created with srep + precomp + arc with batch file.

[pakrat2k2]

why try to manually extract, just use fixed setup.exe from post #7

Hy thank you for your help, to tell you the truth i want to compress other game's files with this batch file similarly from that reason I want to know it's proper method.

[nene777]

I do not understand how to do step two: (e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\*" -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\thirdparty\*" -msrep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8 "C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\*")......help me pleasure.

[pakrat2k2]

grab files from post #1 & post #7.. then run the compress.bat. It'll ask for game dir
you enter it in & it does te rest for you.

[nene777]

Now I have the data2.bin data1.bin and now I do with that? because the tutorial does not specify anything, help ...

[pakrat2k2]

depending on the sizes of those files you'll probably end up with 2xdvd5. ( unless you resampled biks, then all fits on 1xdvd5 )

dont forget step #3 ( remove extra languages you dont want before you made data2.bin )

step #4 MOVE from games installed folder to 'Alan Wake\Disk1' ( from extracted archive, post #1 )

'thirdparty' folder & 'videos' folder .

[nene777]

Already did, when installed does not ask the dvd2, and I get this error: (Not an SREP compressed files)....(An error occured when unpacking. Unarc.dll returned an error code: -1 ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails). :(

[codename47]

Can you please upload the script so that i can change the pics and make another installer
Even I get this error: (Not an SREP compressed files)....(An error occured when unpacking. Unarc.dll returned an error code: -1 ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails).

Peter's in closed source, so if you don't like the images etc, use a different conversion.
