Thank you Peterf1999. Can we have also DLC installed during compression or we are really short of space?

[pakrat2k2]

it will compress whatever's in the folder, so if you have the dlc installed it will compress that as well.....

[csfile]

Yes i guessed that, but i see in compresss.bat that it adds specific folders in each data*.bin and i want to avoid oversized bins in this looooong compression :/.

[kozakis]

Thanks Peter Great Job!!!
One Question can i update the game after conversion ?

[Brunao]

peterf1999, is there any possibility to add the Portuguese in their compression?

[Chompower]

Peterf there is the possibility of re-encoding the videos (.bik) finally get 3DVD5?. Or your conversion is done?.

[tarzan_gk]

peterf1999, if i want to change compression level to none, what should i change?

[andres553]

install during most of 2 hours????

[zealot10]

how much time need to install ?

[Maxgrilo]

Here appears: Please Type Game Folder Path (e.g C:\MaxPayne3): , should not show how to edit.

Obs. resolved

[Softracker]

Here appears: Please Type Game Folder Path (e.g C:\MaxPayne3): , should not show how to edit.
You have to "type" the full path to start the conversion process.

type for example

[BANJA]

@peterf1999
Need help....
I have no enough free space/SSD/ on drive C:\ to finnish coversion,
is there any possibility to change something in compress.bat and conversion will use my drive D:\ to cache files?

Thanks in advance

[pakrat2k2]

you've installed game on C, so extract the 4xDVD5 file into a folder on D, run it from there. Also to make more room goto control panel>system>advanced system settings>environment variables. change the 2 temp folder location at top to another HD ( TEMP folder HAS to exist BEFORE changing the locations ). Do the same for 2 locations at bottom of window. Reboot PC once changes have been made & exited out.

This will save a ton of room on C drive. If yor D isnt that big then choose a TEMP folder location on a HD that has lots of room.

[BANJA]

@pakrat2k2
Thank you very much. ;)

[eddy8080]

The conversion took quite a long time on my AMD Phenom II X3 705e 2,5GHz, but it finished without errors. Thank you very much.
One small thing: At the beginning of the install, DirectX is installed successfully, but then it says: "\RRedistributables\DonNet\x64\NetFx64" can not be found. Could that be solved? I mean why are there two "R"s? Awaiting your answer.

[csfile]

Installation is slow cause of CPU not of storage devices.

where is the attachment?

Use the new setup.exe to fix the issue.:)

[meibole]

oh!!!I donnot install The conversion

[eddy8080]

Use the new setup.exe to fix the issue.:)

I didn't realize there was an update.
Changed the setup.exe, thank you. But I won't try it again, don't want to reinstall the whole game :D.

[davidwbiggs2011]

g'day peterf thanks heaps for this just one question, how can i extract these files from a batch file? what commands do i need to use? the setup.exe just exits straight away with no error messages

[peterf1999]

g'day peterf thanks heaps for this just one question, how can i extract these files from a batch file? what commands do i need to use?

Type (DOSShell) in conversion MP3_4xDVD5 folder:

eg: arc x -ad .\Disk1\Data1.bin

All files and folders structure in Data1.bin will be extracted in MP3_4xDVD5\Data1 folder

Edit:
before installing from custom installer, remove the original installation

[davidwbiggs2011]

i tried arc x -addata .\disk1\data1.bin and it said

ERROR: unknown option "-addata1"

so i put a space between -ad and data and now it says

arc: data1.arc: open: does not exist (no such file or directory)

EDIT: ok i sorted that out but when its extracting nothing actually happens, just stays on 0% for ages. there is one file in the extraction folder and it is 0kb

[peterf1999]

i tried arc x -addata .\disk1\data1.bin and it said

ERROR: unknown option "-addata1"

so i put a space between -ad and data and now it says

arc: data1.arc: open: does not exist (no such file or directory)

EDIT: ok i sorted that out but when its extracting nothing actually happens, just stays on 0% for ages. there is one file in the extraction folder and it is 0kb

My fault type:

arc x -ad .\Disk1\Data1.bin

The extraction is slow like in the installer, but it works .

[jabreek]

Use the new setup.exe to fix the issue.:)

must repackage again? after spent almost 20 hour...:mad:

Hi Peter, and thanks once again.

One doubt: Why this install process takes much more time than others you have done using also Precomp+Srep+FreeArc? I'm not complaining AT ALL! Just beeing curious...

The reason should be the huge files for precomp+srep unpacking work.

For example:

The original size of the only levels folder is ~10 gb, after the precompression becomes ~ 28 gb:eek:

2) Extract 'MP3_v.1.0.0.22.7z' contents (not in game folder)

Hi Peter1999

i did the first cnv after i deleted all now
i want to do again, install full installation updated to v.1.0.0.17 and updated to v.1.0.0.22.

now which convert should i use for full convertion. THX

[peterf1999]

@Shellane Baluba Sarmadi

If you have installed from original setup and then updated to v1.0.0.17-v.1.0.0.22, you need to do:

Follow the steps of 1st conversion and then use the new setup.exe v.1.0.0.22 (MP3_v.1.0.0.22.7z).

[Baluba]

Thx Peterf1999, are this the steps that I have to follow?

Install the game and then update to v.1.0.0.22 (the DLC files can be included)
Extract 'MP3_v.1.0.0.22.7z' contents (not in game folder)
Launch Compress.bat & wait... (A lot of hours are required)
Copy from 1st DVD9 to 'MP3_4xDVD5\Disk1' folder: 'Redistributables' folder
Burn or make isos with label name of your choice


Is it right? If not, can you resume it to a new post?
Thx a lot 4 you work... ;)

[sarmadi]

Thanks Peter,I have installed the game and the two updates but I haven't begun the conversion yet what should I follow the first one or the second one??

[peterf1999]

@Baluba Sarmadi

Use the steps and the files (MP3_4xDVD5.7z) of 1st conversion and then when it's finished,
replace the old Setup.exe with new one, included in the archive MP3_v.1.0.0.22.7z

THX Peterf1999, can you only confirme that the following steps are finally the right one?
1) Install the game and then update to v.1.0.0.22

2) Extract 'MP3_4xDVD5.7z' contents (not in game folder)

3) Launch Compress.bat & wait... (A lot of hours are required)

So Peterf !Thank you so much ,You have done a great job:)

You are wrong, Rockstar social club is installed in silent mode when ticked:)

I'm not refusing nothing, i shared more than one hundred conversions since 2008 on FileForums, isn't enough?:eek:

...and the script of The Witcher 2

[Adhays]

I have solution for speed this cnv...

open task manager, go to tab process then look for "precomp.exe" n "Arc.exe"
right click then set priority to realtime.

Now the cnv more faster then before... i try this because i dont want to wait 10 or 13 hours to to that...:D:D

have a try

[davidwbiggs2011]

sorry to sound rude, didn't mean to, just wanted to mess around with the script for a bit of fun, your witcher 2 script, while lovely, is just inno setup internal compression is it not? it's the isdone.dll part of the script that really interests me, maybe you could release one more script for us?

[splitdvd9todvd5]

can u please share your talent peterf1999, like yener90 and Revo!

peterf1999 the game freeze on max payne 3 first enter and not move a long time there

i have installed the game before and played ,made the compresion by peter and installed and make the problem on the start ....so is the problem on the conversion .... i play the game and passed all levels ...

[pakrat2k2]

made the conversion, reinstall from dvd5 conversion, did you reinstall files from redist folder too... If you didnt then it didnt install Rockstar Social Club, unless you had that option checked off during reinstall.

[elbubi]

Hi Peter. One quick question: I finished the game and I'm about to convert it so I can burn it. I will use first post guide with new setup exe (it's already updated to .22). Using this new setup.exe will I be able to apply future updates to the game if the come out?

Kind regards and thanks in advance!

[davidwbiggs2011]

I'm not refusing nothing, i shared more than one hundred conversions since 2008 on FileForums, isn't enough?:eek:

peter, it seems you are refusing to share your latest scripts, many people would like them for games that no one here has released conversions for and for different projects such as game collections and the likes, come on man, just share you talents with the community in a way that we can utilize them for all sorts of things, no just one single game.

[balola]

made the conversion, reinstall from dvd5 conversion, did you reinstall files from redist folder too... If you didnt then it didnt install Rockstar Social Club, unless you had that option checked off during reinstall.

we need to install the updates of the original dvd 1 of max payne and the new 10022 , now it's working .....

thank's for helping

[pakrat2k2]

figured you missed something, glad you got it working :)

[andrei222]

please 5xdvd5 with original setup only removed foreign languages and recompress cabs

[montcer9012]

Peter, i have been monitoring resources consume while compressing the game and have notice that the process to compress dont use RAM at all; that can delay the compress for a looongggg timeee.

Have verify the arc command on the batch and is confused hahahahaa; compare it whit a 7z command and you can see that Arc commands are on chinese!!

So, theres a way to modify the commands line on the batch to make it consume more RAM?

[pakrat2k2]

please 5xdvd5 with original setup only removed foreign languages and recompress cabs

cant be done, uses newer installshield, hence the reason for inno custom installer.

[pman626]

this game is just not worth compressing.

3 hour install? WTF ?!

time is money, and it would be worthwhile to just burn this on 4 dvd9's.

[elbubi]

Thanks Peter! Tested & Working 100% under w7x64.

[mester1987]

Thank you for your work peterfi1999, but there are two problems:

Installation is 2 hours is completed. Correctly installed.

1) When I log in to existing RGSC profile, I get this:

http://elitewarez.biz/ewtpics/files/ir37s6sdufef9pabwmgv.jpg

What a problem??? Not interact with the Windows Firewall!!!

#2) Could not be removed from the setup.exe of the firewall settings?
Not necessary, because the retail version worked perfectly without touching my firewall on!

#3) The route can rewrite (C:\MaxPayne3 default to C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 3)

you need to copy the profile to your documents i think

in social club folder and

[mester1987]

what are kidding me wow :eek:

you need to copy the profile to your documents i think

in social club folder and

They had. I know all the basics, not today, I started.

edit: What is interesting is that the retail version does not require you set it out in the RGSC to Corrupt License... THETA version I tested, and no interaction with either the Windows firewall and allows my existing account.

But if I use this version 4xDVD5, Corrupted License, which I link to an image. Of course, both version 1.0.0.22.
So this is now stuck (4xDVD5)...:(

[noel41]

the data1 is 4.7 gb

[serkanasna]

can you update your setup file for 1.0.0.29

[elbubi]

Dear Peter, can we keep using your "MP3_v.1.0.0.22.7z" procedure to keep updating game's conversion with new updates? I've used it to make data3.bin for v1.0.0.29 but I don't know for sure if I can rely on it.

Thanks as always! :)

[DJSUB]

Hi peter,
i'm having problem to run the game after the 4xdvd5 conversion has been made.
the dvd9 installation works fine, even i update the files from 1.0.0.17-v1.0.0.29.
i already tried re-encoding it 6 times (5-8hrs max encoding time) but when i try to install the 4xdvd5 & run the game i always end up with the no connection error even without integrated updates.
do you think there something wrong with the conversion process?
do you have any idea how to fix it?


thanks for sharing another wonderful work :)

[pakrat2k2]

no connection error has NOTHING to do with conversion process. It does have everything to do with the cracks your applying, and wether or not youve applied them correctly + installed pre-requisite software for game to run.

[DJSUB]

i'm wondering why everytime i install dvd9 it always work fine. if you uninstall the game, only the game files will be removed not the dx & other stuff,
when i tried to install the 4xdvd5 and everything in the selection it always end up with the no connection error. i already updated the game files to the latest version 1.00.29, i also install the mp3 launcher & the social club updates & copy the profile in rockstar games\social club in my documents. blocked the outgoing playmaxpayne3, maxpayne3 & copy & paste the fix file in the game directory b4 running the game but still the same result no connection error that's why i'm thinking the problem is coming from the converted dvds. when i uninstall the converted dvds & install the dvd9 right away the game works fine again & the connection error is gone. do u still think it has nothing to do with the conversion process?
i already tried installing converted dvds nearly 10x always same result.

thanks in advance.

[pakrat2k2]

ok, you've updated past the 1.00.22 that peters posted ( post #60 ) so MAYBE it has something to do with an update past 1.00.22. since your installing update 1.00.29. Not sure since peter hasnt updated topic with lastest game update?

was just throwing out suggestions.

[DJSUB]

first try of conversion i updated to 1.0.0.17-22-28-29 then reencode the maxpayne3
the 2nd dvd exceeded the dvd5 size so i started again the conversion from update 10017-10022, all the conversion fits dvd5. then i started installing the converted dvds then i started to see the connection error. i imediately uninstall the converted dvd & try the dvd9, the dvd9 installation works fine. i started to re-encode again with only 10017 update and integrate the fix file in the conversion, same connection error found. the nxt move i did reencode again and only integrate 10017 no fix file same result again.
last conversion i did is reencode only the dvd9 contents no updates or whatsoever the result is same no connection error again. but everytime i tried the dvd9 the game works fine.

right now i'm installing dvd9 & the converted dvds MP3 in 2 different drives then i will compare all the files to see if they're identical.

thanks

ok here's result, the dvd9 & 4xdvd5 installed in 2 different drives works fine.
i tried to export their registry settings to see if there's a difference in two MP3.
the dvd9 has this extra key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Rockstar Games]
"Installed Applications"="1"

i deleted the registry settings made by 4xdvd5 and import the one from dvd9, i just change the program path for the 4xdvd5.
then i run both games, they worked just fine & the no connection error are gone.

the nxt thing i did is uninstall maxpayne3 in the control panel. there are 2 maxpane3 in the list now, i forgot to look at the registry to see which one is dvd9. then i moved the dvd9 maxpayne in other directory to prevent the uninstall of dvd9, then i uninstall 1 of the maxpayne3. maybe the one i have left is the 4xdvd5 maxpayne3. then i uninstall again the 2nd maxpayne3.
i moved back to program files rockstar games again the dvd9 version then import the registry settings from dvd9, i just change again the path to match the maxpayne3 location & now the dvd9 version has the no connection error now. i was thinking that the original dvd9 has a file that's not included in the 4xdvd5 conversion, so when u uninstall the dvd9 it will also affect the 4xdvd5.
right now i just want to know the complete uninstall list of the dvd9 maxpayne3, maybe it would help to fix that issue.

is there anyone who could tell me where to find it?

thanks in advance :)

Hey peterf1999

First of all thx for this conversion. It works fine for me (also with patch 1.0.0.28).

But i have a small suggestion for the german setup.

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg841/scaled.php?server=841&filename=unbenannt3bh.png&res=landing

The grammar in this setup section is wrong for german.

Correct its like this


First sentence: Konfigurieren der Windows-Firewall
(Max Payne 3 must not be mentioned)
or: Max Payne 3 für die Windows-Firewall konfigurieren

First selection: Anwendung auf die Ausmahme-Liste hinzufügen
Second Selection: Anwendung nicht auf die Ausnahme-Liste hinzufügen

And another section

http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg406/scaled.php?server=406&filename=unbenannt2bp.png&res=landing

Green: Die Hardware entspricht den Mindestanforderungen.
The red field is ok.

PS: nicht = not :)

Hope you understand my english (its not the best).

Thx a lot

[karimazwaw]

Hi, all seems fine, but during installation on final disk (witch is disk4) i got this error:
http://nsa30.casimages.com/img/2012/07/12/120712123247678423.png

Can enyone help please?

[elbubi]

Tested under w7x64, working flawlessly as always!!!

Instalation time took about 2 hours (lucky I guess?)

Kind Regards and thanks as always Peter!!! :D

Ps: Tested it with v1.0.0.29 and worked like a charm...

[peterf1999]

Max Payne 3
v.1.0.0.17-v.1.0.0.22 to v.1.0.0.29

1) Install the game from one of previous conversions (v.1.0.0.17 or v.1.0.0.22) and then update the game to latest v.1.0.0.29

2) Extract 'MP3_v.1.0.0.29.7z' contents (not in game folder)

3) Launch Data_3_5.bat & wait...

4) Use the new Setup.exe, Data3.bin & Data5.bin that you just created

Note: You can also do the conversion from retail discs installation too, and then update to v.1.0.0.29,
using the conversion on the first post, but you have to use the setup.exe included in this archive
and re-create all archive files (Data1.bin, Data2.bin...).

(ps: need to talk with you about a super-compression for Prototype2 1xDVD5. I already did it, i know how to make it but i don't know how to code a setup like yours)

Peter that means that my already burned 4xdvd5 conversion of v1.0.0.29 game done from scratch with first post conversion and then included v1.0.0.22 setup.exe will not work flawlessly when installed?

Kind Regards and thanks in advance!

[peterf1999]

@Onizuka87k

It was a joke:D

@elbubi

The game works even without updating the registry entries( v1.0.0.22), however the setup.exe (v.1.0.0.29) is better, if you want to waste a dvd, re-burn the 1st one :D

[elbubi]

Thanks for your answer Peter.

I just wanted to be sure that all files/folders from v1.0.0.29 updated game were taken into consideration by first post conversion.

Glad to hear they actually are.

Kindest Regards!

[kvernoso]

Hi, peterf1999!
Does your last cnv works with update 1.0.0.47?
Can I use the MP3_v.1.0.0.29.7z file to try cnv?
Thanks, man! Your job is Great!

Do you have enough room on hd?

The conversion needs at least ~ 40-50 gb of free space! :eek:

please someone help me with my problem and doubts listed on page 9..............:confused:

It doesnt matter what you have as version of ME3. If you have Redist folders, peter said that you should move them to their appropriate place according to conversion. If you dont have it, skip the step and dont install them during conversion.

No, AFAIK it's lossless conversion.

[vasu001]

compressed Max Payne 3-

Compression time- 14hrs 15 min.

disk 1 - 3.88 GB
disk 2 - 4.36 GB

[vasu001]

i have a problem in Max Payne 3 INNO setup 4xDVD5. After compressing i can't run setup.exe [its just popup and dissappear].I have looked in forum to find similar problem and i found one but i can't understand what u told there. [Type (DOSShell) in conversion................]. Also i am bit naive in these kinds of things,so please tell me how to solve the problem. I have spent 14hrs to compress this thing and even deleted the original one.:confused:

[peterf1999]

i have a problem in Max Payne 3 INNO setup 4xDVD5. After compressing i can't run setup.exe [its just popup and dissappear]

Open regedit and then delete the following registry entry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 3 (x86)

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 3 (x64)

[vasu001]

Open regedit and then delete the following registry entry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 3 (x86)

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Rockstar Games\Max Payne 3 (x64)

there is no such entry in regedit. is there a way to do it manually.

[pakrat2k2]

make your ISO's and try installing from those. Dont run from HD.

You should still have game installed from original version, so entries should be there.
Once you complete the conversion, you uninstall original version, mount iso's to install from conversion iso's.

goodnight to all members of this forum. I did the normal conversion as instructed, but looks the conversion like this:

Disk1 - 3.87
Disk2 - 4.75 (this is not supported by iso dvd5)
Disk3 - 4.36
Disk4 - 4.31


I need help and know that I have been wrong.

Install the game normally, let it update to version (Max Payne 3 Update v1 0 0 113). all DLC installed. final weight of the game folder.

29.3 GB


thank you all for your help.

That is because you have asked many many questions, people answered those many many questions but you choose either to not read them or choose to ignore them, but you continue to ask the same questions over and over regardless. To be honest, like me people are probably fed up with it so now they just ignore your questions, cant blame them really. ;)

[Grumpy]

well my elder cousin bought it from flipcart.com then split it with inno[comp. - none] to give me in my pendrives

Then 'you' do not own the game, your cousin does! Read the Forum Rules and the game's EULA!

Quoted from the Forum Rules:
1. Do not discuss warez! Do not ask where to download illegal copies of PC/console games or how to make them work. Warez means not having the original CD/DVD, for reasons including but not limited to:
not having as many separately purchased original CD's/DVD's as the number of computers the game is played on (see the EULA!);
the original CD/DVD having been lost, damaged or unusable for any reason (kids, pets, damaged CD/DVD drive etc.);
the original CD/DVD being the wrong version, language or region (EU/UK/US/etc.);
the original CD/DVD having been rented from a shop, borrowed from someone, lent to someone, or left at another place;
having no compatible or properly working CD/DVD drive or having no CD/DVD drive at all.

Thanks, long live the suffering...peterf1999 also can react (sometimes)
Maybe peterf1999 can upgrade to the archive, it would not be a big task (who has also added registry fix) maybe...

[Alfart]

Max Payne 3
v.1.0.0.17-v.1.0.0.22 to v.1.0.0.29

1) Install the game from one of previous conversions (v.1.0.0.17 or v.1.0.0.22) and then update the game to latest v.1.0.0.29

2) Extract 'MP3_v.1.0.0.29.7z' contents (not in game folder)

3) Launch Data_3_5.bat & wait...

4) Use the new Setup.exe, Data3.bin & Data5.bin that you just created

Note: You can also do the conversion from retail discs installation too, and then update to v.1.0.0.29,
using the conversion on the first post, but you have to use the setup.exe included in this archive
and re-create all archive files (Data1.bin, Data2.bin...).
Sorry peterf1999,

How can i do to compress the game without obtain a dvd2 large disk?

sorry pakrat2k2 i'm little confused...
in 'MP3_v.1.0.0.29.7z' there are only disk 1, 2 and 3, what about disk 4 that instead is present in 'MP3_4xDVD5' ?
And then, have i to use the first conversion with the MP3_4xDVD5 files and use the new setup or use only the 'MP3_v.1.0.0.29.7z' files?
sorry my bad english too... thanks for my boring questions...

[pakrat2k2]

if i'd been paying attention your game version is way past what this conversion can do. so your better off going back to game index & using one from there that can do any version of the game, not one that does up to certain point.

[Alfart]

Sorry peterf1999!!!

Nope :(, the patchs after v1.0.0.29 add additional files to the game (dlcs), so the game doesn't fit to 4 xdvd5 anymore.
The solution: put the patchs on another dvd!

I should redo the conversion from beginning, no way sry :(

[Alfart]

Thanks a lot for answered to me!!!
If there is no solution then i'll put the patch in another dvd!
Thanks again...bye!!!

Sorry peterf1999 another last question...:-)
in one post you have ansvered for an user that it was possible to do the update until 1.0.0.55 and then to do a conversion..
It is possible !?! If yes, you can explain me how to convert the game after the 1.0.0.55 update? in a step to step explication, please!!
