Is best to copy these folders rather than move them as I compiled, took 1hr 30m , got to end and displayed error, couldnt find a directx file - because i had moved it as per instructions part 2. So had to start again!

Thanks though, looking good on - in process...

Technically you can have directx not found error in INNO. If there's no redist, INNO will skip to install them.

With all DLC's and latest update I'm getting a 6 disk result. Can I increase the compression in INNO script to get 4 disks? Currently its a full disk (5) and 591mb (6) over, which is alot and Im doubtful that more compression can be applied...?

Thanks :)

lzma2/ultra64 will get you a 4-DVD result, but only after you edit DLCs' sfar files. Basically, you want to remove all voices except English from them. Meaning, when you edit a sfar, mark the following for deletion:

- to delete French voices: *FRA.afc and *FRA.pcc.
- to delete Italian voices: *ITA.afc and *ITA.pcc
- to delete German voices: *DEU.afc and *DEU.pcc

You may also remove these from your main Mass Effect 3 content, but that doesn't require editing SFARs. What you definitely must edit is From Ashes, Leviathan, Omega and Citadel. What you must NOT edit is the Multiplayer DLCs as they get verified online!

Same for german conversion.

Go to GameDir\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole and delete all other languages you don't want except the *.tlk files! Otherwise you get crypted fonts InGame!

People, base ME3 content trimming is NOT ENOUGH! I can't stress this enough: grab ME3 DLC Explorer and edit .sfar's for Extended Cut, From Ashes, Leviathan, Omega and Citadel! It will trim their sizes by half, resulting in much smaller size of the game overall!

EDIT: Apologies for leaving Extended Cut out of that list.

Since I have already burned my previous Mass Effect 3 conversion with all the dlcs released before Citadel dlc.Can someone create a separate conversion for the citadel dlc so that it fits in a dvd5.

It is, because i didnt mention any DLC editing which i find useless and most of the users of fileforums wont comprehend how to do it.

You need to remove the foreign languages from the base content too, not just DLCs.

Same key as in the guide, meaning: _FRA/_ITA/_DEU.afc/pcc in CookedPCConsole.

Do I need to to delete _ITA.afc/pcc files in the CookedPCConsole that came with the Citadel dlc too ?

simply yes.. depending on how many languages you want to keep ingame. delete same ones in CookedPCConsole + DLC. follow guide > http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?p=415465#post415465

Thanks for another excellent conversion, REV0

As with Mass Effect 2, there is one key of the registry section of the script that is not written, because it checks for Component3FAE


Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect 3"; ValueName: Locale; ValueData: en_US; ValueType: string; Flags: uninsdeletevalue uninsdeletekeyifempty; Check: Component3FAE

Compression=LZMA2/ULTRA64
LZMAUseSeparateProcess=yes
LZMANumBlockThreads=2
LZMADictionarySize=262144
LZMABlockSize=262144

@kokousic

I'm sorry, but that's bull. A conversion that'd require more RAM than the game itself to make? Why don't we use KGB archiver and fit it on a 1.44 MB floppy disk while we're at it? :P LOL

My point is that compression settings should take into account that the hardware we own is meant to satisfy the game's needs, not e.g. 3DS Max's or something :P

How about the next time you visit you actually READ THE RULES!!!!
