Update:

Removed mainform's header label
Incremented time-out value for bmp scrolling routines in slideshow mode
Changed splashscreen png image

Users who have already made the conversion, should only use the new Setup.exe in attachment archive (see above).

Hi Peter.

I have one spanish language installer text improvement for the script :)

At the very first beginning it says "Xvid Video Decoder es necesario para el proceso de instalación. No parece que se instalen, ¿desea instalarlo?" The first sentence is ok, but the second one should be "No parece estar instalado, ¿desea instalarlo?"

In english it would be more or less like "They don't seem to be installing" instead of "It don't seem to be installed" (proposed one)

Kindest Regards!!!

Btw: Don't know why but uninstaller is not working right for me, it removes the game from installed program's list but it does not actually delete files/folders.

[muzz]

Hey how did u add pause button for video and how did u get tht compact view option on ur installer

Delete unins000.* files and then re-create only Data4.bin;)

Archive Data1.bin is damaged, from Darksiders2_DVD5 folder type (dos shell) to testing its integrity:

Works like a charm, but I found some mistakes in Polish translation of script. Here. I've copied the English text that you left for GlassER from the Sniper Elite V2 conversion and translated the text to more convenient & understandable. :)
I appreciate your work.

P.S. If You want me to translate something for your conversions, just let me know.

Delete unins000.* files and then re-create only Data4.bin;)

Hi. When I uninstall the game, it doesn't remove registry and does not delete anything from install folder except uninstall.* files. Is it something I did wrong or is anyone else having this problem.

BTW Peter. Great work as always. Love your conversions.

[peterf1999]

Hi. When I uninstall the game, it doesn't remove registry and does not delete anything from install folder except uninstall.* files.

Take a look at post #39 (http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p=405624&postcount=39) ;)

[Fox22743]

Ok Cool, thought that was only for other languages. Will do it now. Thanks a million Peter.

[peterf1999]

Ok Cool, thought that was only for other languages.

The issue is related by the presence of files unins000.* in the Data4.bin archive.

Just re-create the Data4.bin and everything is solved :p

:confused::confused:

The Data1.bin contains media.upak and its size is shown above

The command line is correct!

[robbos21]

well done what said to do and no luck. it asks for data1.bin and not in folder ?

[Inge]

Ok, Conversion works. Final Size 4,23 GB. If its too big, after compress, look that only one speech is Installed. :D

[peterf1999]

well done what said to do and no luck. it asks for data1.bin and not in folder ?

Disc contents:

The installer expects to find the Datax.bin archives in the root of the disc, if it doesn't find them a disk prompt is shown with disk number and archive name.

[Lucho14]

Thanks peterf!!; Works perfectly under Win7 64 bit!!.

[mikey26]

Hi peter could we use this conversion with the the lastest updates as the lastest one is around 3gb update from what i am reading on the net i have not updated my game yet.

[peterf1999]

Hi peter could we use this conversion with the the lastest updates as the lastest one is around 3gb update from what i am reading on the net i have not updated my game yet.

The patch adds a dlc contents and its size is around 476 mb,
i didn't test it yet , you re-make conversion and then let me known if it fits. :D

If it doesn't fit for few mb a biks re-sampling needed ;)

[mikey26]

gonna have to resample some biks even with trying to compress the video folder with freearc with 2gb compress still around 10mb to big and also downsize the directx folder with slim version of directx

[an_ultim]

Tried with the new Update 2 [3Gb] of Darksiders2. The final size is 4.4 GB with vids 100%

[mikey26]

try a slim version of directx also try recompress data3.bin with 1gb compression with freearc that what i did and 4.36gb perfect fit on dvd5

[an_ultim]

@mikey26 im new at this so can u give me the command for the recompression or do i have to reduce the bik file?

[pakrat2k2]

dont recompress the bik files, take a look at compress.bat file & notice the commands for bin1 & bin2 ( max:1gb ) add that to line for bin3 and comment out other lines for 1,2,4 bin files & let it recompress just that 1 file. should then fit better...

[peterf1999]

@mikey26 im new at this so can u give me the command for the recompression or do i have to reduce the bik file?

[an_ultim]

Recompressed Data3. Final size 4.40 Gb instead of 4.44 earlier.Installed smoothly.

I used the new 3GB patch may be thats the extra mb?

And finally when i tried to recompress bik file of the intro cutscene there was no speech of the narrator in the new reduced one.Whats the reason?

thx. any idea whats wrong with the bik recompressed with sound of the narrator missing [the intro cutscene].

currently used the fraps the to record the first cutscene and converted to bik

My final after editing the first cutscene + ur script 4.31 GB !!

The bik videos contains multi audio tracks, the correct procedure is:

1) Re-sampling video without audio tracks

2) Extract all audio tracks from original video

3) Re-muxing audio tracks with same track id with re-sampled video

How come Windows 7 does not fall under minimum requirements in your installer for this game.

[peterf1999]

How come Windows 7 does not fall under minimum requirements in your installer for this game.

Windows 7 SP1 is the minimum requirements.

The installer checks the OSVersion & ServicePackMajor in according of game requirements.

Did you use new compress.bat (http://fileforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3841&d=1346437499)?

if not, delete Data4.bin file from Darksiders2_DVD5\Darksiders2 folder and the launch the new compress.bat from conversion folder.

For your version the media\sounds_streamed\PC folder contents should be as below:

core.pck
dlc1.pck
en.pck

[pakrat2k2]

are ALL your bin files the same size as Chompower posted ? If NOT then go back to post #1 & re-read the notes at bottom in RED.

[JacksMafia]

hey pakrat2k2 sorry to drag you in every problem i have it's a lot these days
anyway to answer your question YES ALL the bins are the same size as Chompower posted

[eliwodkung]

Install game + Update 4 and use Compress.bat & Autorun_fixed.7z when it done the size is 4.39 GB won't fit it. Am I done something wrong? sorry for my bad english.

[vasu001]

Hey there .......i want to ask sth.So tell me am i wrong anywhere or not[quick you know]..
1. Install the game+ update 4.
2. Delete uninstall files(both) from game dir.
3. Extract 'DS2_1xDVD5.7z' contents (not in game folder)
4. Replace compress.bat and setup.exe of above with fixed one attached below in 1st post.
5 .Launch Compress.bat & wait...
6. Move/Copy from game's folder to 'Darksiders2_DVD5\Darksiders2' folder :
Code:
'video' folder
7. Burn or make iso with label name of your choice.

Will size be of 1xDVD5 or not ?:confused:

Whats problem in my conversion?

Not enough RAM/HDD space maybe? :confused:

[pakrat2k2]

screenshot also tells you to change the lc8 to lc or ld to limit memory usage. so edit the compress.bat & change the lc8 to either just lc or ld, see if it works fine then.

also turn off everything you can when running the compression... dont d/l anything, turn off screensaver etc... just have the bat file running & turn off everything else, let it run overnight.

This error


You need at least 2gb of physical ram, freearc in the last conversion uses 1635mb of memory compression otherwise the game doesn't fit on dvd5 with all updates & dlcs.

If your conversion doesn't include "The abyssal forge" dlc you can decrement the amount of dictionary (e.g.) :

lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8

to

lzma:a1:mfbt4:d128m:fb273:mc1000:lc8

Now freearc will use ~ 1300 mb of memory compression

Keep in mind, more memory used= more mb gain :D

Thanks, I'll test on another computer, but the computer screen with this XP SP3 and 3.23 Gb of ram

Multiple apps opened consume resources and memory, close them and then begin the compression, the ram is never enough!:D

Take Redistributables folder from this archive (http://fileforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3802&d=1345890647) and then put it on DVD root:)

[MisterManiac]

Hey, i'm almost ready with the installation and i finished step 1 to 3 yet, but I dont understand what I have to do with the cmd file. The installation is searching für a Data1.bin file, but the file isnt in one of the files I loaded down.
Would be nice if someone could help me :)

[pakrat2k2]

of course it isn't, you need all 3 files from post #1. The first is the original archive set, the second file is the compress.bat which need if you've updated game or not & last archive is updated autorun file which is used after you've done the conversion.

run the compress.bat and then you end up with data1.bin after its compressed your installed game files.

[MisterManiac]

ok,but i dont know how to use the compress file, wich folder do I have to write there, because it doesnt compress anything
sorry, im new, i dont have much experiece whith such things, hope you can help me ;)
I have downloaded the other files and I have a game file

[MisterManiac]

When I start the compress.bin, the cmd wants me to fill in a game file name, when I fill in my filename, the cmd "says" press a varios button, and the cmd closes, what do I have to do know, could u help me pls

[pakrat2k2]

well step 1 is install the game !!! this conversion doesn't use iso file...

then when you run the compress.bat you type in where you installed the game, it then compresses the files & gives you the output files data#.bin etc.

[MisterManiac]

So, did the installation, but when it finfished with 100% the installation assistant says it needs a disk with the file data1.bin, where do I get that, becuse when I start the compress file now and type in the gamefile name, nothing happens

:D You have to install the game from your game dvd, not from the attachment here. If you have installed the game + dlc's, run compress.bat from attachment (first post here in topic) and type in your game folder where you have installed the game.

Schreib mir mal 'ne PN. Ich erkläre es dir dort.

[pakrat2k2]

been told in 3 posts already install the game !

After re-reading this thread it seems my finish result is much different. I do not have data files etc.. what did I do wrong please?

[pakrat2k2]

RE-READ the first post, step by step.... do them in exact order.

[omega59]

Hi sorry, I guess it didn't work the first try BC i used the attached compress.bat. The one in the .zip worked fine. This is my file list now. So now i just burn everything in Darksiders2 folder? do i need the attached autorun fix.exe or not?

From what i read here, the fixed Autorun only fix some language related issues eg for spanish and adds three new background images.

PS: There is an other attachment here

Okay, So i'll stick with the original. :-)
it doesn't fit on a single dvd5, imgburn wants to make overburn or truncate.
4.6GB.

[omega59]

Sorry KaktoR, just saw you linked to another zip. I will give that a try bc this didn't make a dvd5 its abit over and i'm unable to burn the end results.
