Hey revo having a look at the game there is a german audio track over 1 gb big if u remove it game get stuck on loading screen put it back game works seems like u cant remove that track.gonna give precomp and srep a go and see what compression i can get it too maybe dvd 5 possible and resampling biks.thx to MartinezPL for the info hidden files and pakrat2k2 for the link.

will try replace german track with dummy file and see what happens will report back

REV0

29-07-2012, 04:24

I got confirmation that without german files game continues to work mikey26

Waiting your progress however.

Also i updated script to 1.02 read, check thread for info

pakrat2k2

29-07-2012, 10:05

Heya Revo thanks for checking on that german audio file.but if i delete or move audio_german.rcf from my game dir the game refuses to just says loading loading have to crash the game.put audio_german.rcf back in game dir and works perfect test on both my machines very weird. i also did try replacing with a dummy file no luck.

Spoke too soon, without the audio_german.rcf file the game has NO AUDIO wether or not you play in another language, & the game will play ONLY up to the end of the first initial cutscenes, then gets stuck at loading screen.

Going to try & use Scarface_Explorer and unpack all the rcf files & see how it loads once thats done. Maybe get a bit better compression out of unpacked files rather then trying to recompress those HUGE files.

Thanks REVO.
It works 100% on win7 sp1 64bit however there was no music sound during the installation of the game.

REV0

29-07-2012, 11:16

That's because you dont have necessary codecs, this happened before for some people

pakrat2k2

29-07-2012, 11:50

I havent installed any codecs on a fresh install of X64 yet & music/sound played fine without installing any codecs yet.

sarmadi

29-07-2012, 15:56

No! not all ,I have all codecs installed before:D.

Not from me, making 1DVD9 is impossible current facts. According to mikey, deleting german files cause crashes in the game and dummy files are not working neither. Also it requires re-encoding bik files -means low quality videos, something i dont like in games-

The regkey which define language of the game is '69' currently. I dont know why it's 69 and numbers of others, you need to install legit copy with your desired language then copy it's reg entry.

tanatos

30-07-2012, 06:03

Revo thank you very much for such a nice installer. i need help, as is done to add a record in the InstallerScript for which the game is left in its corresponding language?

Use your script PROTO2_V102

in Prototype 2 creates a value chain called “language” and modifies the value with your language. The language has a number associated.

english 69
french 70
italian 73
german 71
spanish 83

Hi REV0, and thanks for the conversion! Just tested under w7x64 and seems to work just fine, altough installer background pictures are not showing during install (black square only). Could it be cause I'm running it from hdd instead from optical drive?

Thanks indeed once again!

Information: The font (28 Days Later) used the buttons ("font.ttf" included in Setup.cab), not supported accents for use in es, pt-pt or pt-br languages.
If you can edit the font file, and edit someone, please post here.
Thank you!

I've changed fonts, added more regkeys for language, it must be ok now, test and tell us the results

Cesar82

06-08-2012, 15:36

It's all ok now.
The old font was nicer, but not support special characters.
Thanks.

You can use this script with freearc?
If I just modify the Setup.ini file. Adding ...

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;Disk:1
FreeArcFile2={src}\Data2.cab;Disk:2
FreeArcFile3={src}\Data3.cab;Disk:2
...

Sorry to hear that, but moving the content to another folder always solved this issue.

elbubi

07-08-2012, 10:36

I moved all the contents from PROTO_1 to another folder and didn't work. Guess I'll have to burn them this way, it's not THAT important but I would prefer to have it 100% functional.

Kind Regards once again.

REV0

07-08-2012, 10:39

That's unfortunate. If you got Alcohol or Nero, i suggest to create image of iso first, before burning, then check if it's same

If so, use the Steam Backup feature.

A couple of small fixes for other languages installations. dunno about the others, but i had troubles loading the game coz of this, it keeps freezing on loading screen, also I changed the final filesize to 4.35GB and leave the proper space for setup.cab file so it wont get oversized. Also changed compression to LZMA2 and set a couple of params for better results including quantity of compression threads in case you have multi core CPU (quad core in my case)

how can i run a reg file after install?

thanks ^^

pakrat2k2

why run after install? just enter it in the ISS script in the [registry] section of the script, it will be entered when installing game.

Install-2a, 2b, 2c bin files to PROTO_2

I have 2 CDs ISO files as follows

pakrat2k2

09-03-2013, 08:07

read the steps again !!! you have to install the game first. then use inno unicode to compile the script.

NTurky

11-03-2013, 06:53

its already there in the script

Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\{code:GetAppPublisher}\{code:GetAppName} "; ValueType: string; ValueName: Language; ValueData: 83; Flags: uninsdeletevalue uninsdeletekeyifempty; Languages: esp;

you've installed game in spanish, so reinstalling from conversion should be the same.

Sishi is right. If you take a closer look to que subkey section, you'll notice that
REV0 left a " " (space) after {code:GetAppName} basically making the subkey invalid. Because of that the game defaults to english language.
All language definition have that typo (lines 175 to 181).
So, here is the fixed script.
