INSTRUCTIONS:
--------------------------------------------------
1. Install Batman Arkham Origins, apply all possible patches up to v20131204 (tested).

Tip:
If you made this conversion before releasing unofficial patch 2 (~270MB) and want to use it... you can't :D
Please download my version of patch 2 instead (BTW it's 3 times smaller).
It's important to apply update v20131106 with no-cd before applying this one
After that you have game updated to v20131125

Of course all official patches works great with this conversion

2. Download BAO_2xDVD5_or_3xDVD5.rar and extract it to any {TEMP} (NOT in {game_folder}). Be sure to have at least 13GB of free space on the drive.
Note: See Post #87 for file.

FIX: Download data3_preprocess_PROPER.rar and extract to {TEMP}\files to avoid missing files in some cases. Thx for The-revenge for informing about that.
Note: See Post #87 for file.

3. Go to {TEMP}, run compress (SP only).bat or compress (SP + MP).bat:
- choose your game folder,
- choose preferred language for audio (ingame & cutscenes),
- choose to shut down your PC after conversion or not (yes, you can go sleep now :D )

4. Make iso/burn content of BAO_# folders with any label

UPDATES:
--------------------------------------------------
31.01.2014: uploaded data3_preprocess_PROPER.rar to avoid missing files in some cases (thx The-revenge for info)

13.02.2014: uploaded BAO_2xDVD5_or_3xDVD5_v2.rar (after 931 downloads) with resized buttons to avoid text cutting in Italian (thx tanatos for info)

SCRIPT INFO:

A big update is out from Steam. 3.1GB. Only for bug fixes :eek:
Over 8.5GB of game files(~5GB SP/~3GB MP) said.

Fox22743

26-11-2013, 05:05

Ok i've updated my game and retested the conversion, but i've noticed that the following folder increases in size from 8gb to 11gb. Is this normal.

D:\Batman Arkham Origins\SinglePlayer\BMGame\CookedPCConsole

Almost every file in this folder gets modified. The game does start and plays, just wanted to know if anyone else picked up on this.

BAMsE

26-11-2013, 05:46

Fox22743 yes it's normal and necessary to fit the game on 2 DVDs

Fox22743

26-11-2013, 06:06

Thanks BAMsE,

Just to confirm:

1) My folder from original installation with all updates = 8gb.
2) After compression but before uninstalling original game, almost all files change in size, folder now = 11gb.
3) Installation with your version is exactly the same as #2 above (i.e. 11gb)

Did you somehow decompress original game files, so that you could recompress in your conversion?

I'll post some pics later just to show you what i mean.

EDIT:
Ok i just read through your .bat & .lst files, and i saw that you do decompress all those files and then repack. It's funny how the game still works with the file sizes changed. On older games it used to give a filesize mismatch error if anything changed.

Well great work as always BAMsE, wish i had even half your talent. I want to do a conversion on GTA IV + Episodes from Liberty City and try to bring it down to 4 dvd's total, and not each.
I know if i knew how to use precomp like peter and how to compress like you, then it would be possible.

BAMsE

27-11-2013, 14:29

Tested with patch 2 (3,1GB) and works.
However there is an unofficial (lightest) version of this patch on the web done with vpatch.
It's impossible to apply such unofficial patches after conversion - please do it before or use official one.

elbubi

27-11-2013, 16:29

Cr*p, I just deleted original files yesterday! =P.

No matter, will play/burn it without this patch, don feel like downloading the whole thing again.

You can still patch with original one, then repack if you want =)

No, no, no my friend.
You can't use any differential patcher with this conversion.
Those type of patchers compare two files - before and after updating and writing differences only..
This conversion uses uncompressed upk files while original game uses compressed one.
This xdelta patch was done by comparing with compressed files.

It's sad that developers haven't enough desire to prepare differential patches.
I decide to use uncompressed files because nobody uses this method of patching anymore

I know, but I'm here for providing you conversions not latest patches. In case of update 2 (v20131107 - v20131125 cumulative) my intension was to shrink its size and making it possible to put it on 2nd DVD. Unfortunately differential patch you can find on net is incompatible with this conversion, so I must done my own. As I said you MUST update to v20131106 and NOTHING ELSE before applying my one. After that you have your game patched to v20131125, so you can apply next one (v20131204).

Of course all official updates works great with this conversion.

The-revenge

07-12-2013, 02:39

Have you intension to integrate the latest patch in this conversion?

BAMsE

07-12-2013, 05:19

v20131204 is only few MB, with no new files, so you can apply it and this conversion will still work.

The-revenge

08-12-2013, 05:41

v20131204 is only few MB, with no new files, so you can apply it and this conversion will still work.

sorry I'm not understanding. I have two patch : v20131106 and a patch called update 2 (308 mb size). It works if I apply both of it BEFORE making conversion?

BAMsE

08-12-2013, 11:12

It depends on whether you are thinking: working conversion or working update 2 :D

1st - working conversion:
This conversion can be done with update v20131106 and any above up to 20131204, including unofficial update 2 (from RLD I think), because they don't add any new files and size of the game is similar after patching.

2nd - working update 2:
This conversion needs to decompress game files and do this before creating cabs. Unofficial collective update 2 patches compressed files and can't patch decompressed ones (due to differences in filesizes and MD5s).
After decompressing game files (after making this conversion) if you want to install unofficial update 2 you need to use my own update 2 attached in the 1st post (it patches decompressed files).

In simplest words before conversion you can apply:
- official update 1
- official update 2
- official hotfix for update 2
- official v20131106
- official v20131107
- official v20131125
- unofficial update 2 (from RLD, cumulative v20131107 + v20131125 for compressed files)
- official v20131204

After conversion you can apply:
- official v20131107
- official v20131125
- unofficial update 2 (from BAMsE, cumulative v20131107 + v20131125 for decompressed files)
- official v20131204

08-12-2013, 12:51

thank you. My question was about the 1st things. In fact I specified before making conversion. So it seems very simple, apply patch and make conversion. Thank you for clear explenation of the difference between the two things.

Fox22743

12-01-2014, 10:10

Ok, one more thing. Is the game installed to your windows drive "Program Files" folder before the conversion?

If so, then try copying the game to another drive or to the root directory and then make conversion. (Sometimes .bat files cannot edit files in program files if uac is not disabled)

Edit:
------
Oh and btw you don't have to remake the whole conversion, just delete data3.cab and restart conversion. That seems to be the only one that is too big. If i'm wrong then i'm sure BAMsE will correct me.

pakrat2k2

12-01-2014, 13:10

it also makes a difference as to what version the game has been updated to. There are specific instructions in first post as to what update this installer supports. Double check that as well ;)

can I apply this conversion in a clear installation plus the last DLC Initiation (size 13.8 gb) that update the game at latest version? And if not (maybe the size is too large after compression) can i delete the added content (for leave only the cumulative patch that this dlc add)
ADDITIONAL INFO: DLC Initiation add a DLC folder (size 6.16 gb). If you think conversion should works, I can try to make this conversion in this version

BAMsE

29-01-2014, 02:30

In this conversion whole SinglePlayer\DLC folder is placed in data4.cab.
In the day this conversion was done the only available DLC was Skins Season Pass (few KB), so the folder wasn't big.

If your DLC folder is ~300MB you can use this conversion as is (there is still ~100MB free space on its DVD and ~180MB not very needed _CommonRedist folder, so you can delete it).

If it's bigger you need to exclude it in data4_excl.lst file, then include it in new cab. For SP only it will be data5_incl.lst (delete all existed data5*), for MP+SP data7_incl.lst (don't forget to create corresponding empty _excl file bcoz it's needed in this version of script).

After that you need to edit compress.bat file to add method and disc number for newly created cab.

EDIT:
One more. You'll need to create (for SP only) data5_postprocess.bat:

@echo off
echo.[ExtractSettings] >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile3=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile4=Data4.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile5=Data5.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:3; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
:EOF

or (for MP+SP) data7_postprocess.bat:

echo.FreeArcFile7=Data7.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:4; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"

29-01-2014, 03:00

hello, I wanted to know if you update your installer to include the DLC Initiation.
thanks

The-revenge

29-01-2014, 03:21

Thanks BaMsE for the reply, I have another question. My DLC folder contain one subfolder that is 6,16 gb, and without this subfolder the size of DLC folder is few kb. Instead of make the process that you have described, can I simply delete this subfolder and remake the entire conversion?
Another question: the conversion, I think, is based on multi language version of the game. Now I have a version with 2 folder of game, English and the folder of my language. I can simply delete the English folder and leave my language folder and so make the conversion, or it's needed to modify some things in the script? (I don't know how the script work, if the script search and delete the file of foreign languages, and in this case if in my version this folder there aren't, the script returns an error)
Thanks a lot!

EDIT: it's funny that 4,4 gb out of 6,16 gb, in the new DLC Initiation folder, it's for foreigns languages (each languages file is about 750 mb; all languages file without one is about 4,4 gb). Then I think with some compression there is a possibile to include Initiation DLC (personally I don't care about this DLC)

EDIT2: I tried the conversion deleting the DLC folder. At first look the conversion works, size are the same (4,23 and 4,19) and installation works fine, but it has the same problem of the previous conversion: game crash after 10 minutes of game. The crashes is caused by conversion, I'm sure, because I tried to delete the folder DLC and the other languages folder after a clear installation, and game works, instead with conversion crash after 10 minutes of game

BAMsE

30-01-2014, 06:55

I've finished the game installed from my conversion, and nothing bad happened.

Do you have this crash in particular moment of game or simply after 10 minutes even if standing at the beginning?

The problem may be:
1. Your version needs this removed DLC.
Make copy of DLC folder, uninstall the game, install from conversion, place back DLC folder and try.
2. Your version has and needs additional files that was not included in this conversion.
Make copy of whole game directory, uninstall the game, install from conversion, compare original with converted one.

Game crashes isn't in particular moment, but after 10 minutes after game beginning. Of course only in case of conversion (the problem occured in the conversion applied at clear installation, and the conversion applied at installation of game+initiation DLC).

1)I tried to play without DLC folder in the game without conversion, and work well, so this isn't the problem.
2)maybe is this. Now I try and report.

Another question, it's normal that the batch file terminate without any action to do (for example "conversion complete - press any key to continue")...because in the two times I have make the conversion, batch file close automatically
Thanks for the support anyway

BAMsE

30-01-2014, 07:44

No. You will be informed after conversion if there are errors or not. Screen is paused, so you must read it.
Immediate terminate indicates an unexpected error. See logfile.log

The-revenge

31-01-2014, 05:19

Hum I'm near to understand the problem, I think.
I made a clear installation, installed DLC, then I delete DLC folder, Online folder and foreign languages folders. The game worked without problem.
Then I tried to make conversion (SP only), data1 and data2 cab has been created without problem, at the begin of creation of data3 I received this error message:

******** D:\Batman Arkham Origins\SinglePlayer\BMGame\CookedPCConsole\Playab le_B
mCash_SF.upk ********

Then, after 30 second, the program retry to create Data3 and compression starts normally.
I search in the game directory and the specified file doesn't exsist.

Ok the problem is very strange!! After conversion, the game doesn't work, but I don't install the game from the conversion!! In other words, the game that before conversion works, after conversion doesn't work!! So I think the error mentioned upon "break" any file in the directory and make game unplayable (in particular, game crash during the loading level).
What do you suggest?

This conversion decompresses almost all upk files, deletes them and replace with decompressed. In your case the problem is that probably Playable_BmCash_SF.upk can't be decompressed properly, but original is deleted.

EDIT:
Probably reason of this is that DLC installs some patches too. Original compressed Playable_BmCash_SF.upk is overwritten with newer decompressed one (you may check this before and after installing DLC, bcoz I'm not sure). Then decompresor can't decompress it anymore and returns an error.
I uploaded proper data3_preprocess.bat to the first post. Just replace old one and recreate data3.cab

Single player folder after installation fo DLC has 4 file more than the folder before the installation. This 4 file for sure has included in the conversion because 3 of this file is in CoockedPCConsole folder and 1 is in config folder, so it's necessary included.
The problem is the file Playable_BmCash_SF.upk. Before the DLC installation is 13.3 mb, after is 0 kb. Probabily for this reason the decompression process returns an error, 'cause it try to decompress a empty file. The question now is: the proper version of postprocess that you have uploaded, solve this problem? And, if not, can I copy-paste the file from old version without DLC and make conversion? Or the game don't work properly?
And have another question for the damn programmer, why you update a file and make a empty file and not simply delete the file? :D

Proper preprocess file no more deletes anything, just replacing compressed files with uncompressed. So if there is no uncompressed Playable_BmCash_SF.upk it will stay as is.
But... Why do you install DLC if you plan to not include it in conversion? The DLC makes changes in game files, probably in exe too, so it's highly probable you will have more problems with it.
Just make fresh install, update it to v20131204 or even higher (just compare fresh with updated and report differences - I'll try to make bunch of new files for you)

EDIT:
Excellent tool for comparing two folders (missing files, sizes, dates etc) is Total Commander: Commands ---> Synchronize Dirs...

I want to use DLC version because it is update with most recent update avaible; this game is full of bug, and I think install all of update is better.
Now I played an our with fresh install deleting the incriminated file, and works. Tomorrow I will make the conversion, I hope will work this time

I tried the last thing, I create the conversion with fresh install + DLC but I have replace the file Playable_BmCash_SF.upk with original one of 13.3 mb. The conversion works without error, after the installation I replace the file with the 0-kb file. The game has the same problem, works for one section and crash when change section (I think have a problem to load some files when change section).
I give up, thx BaMsE for all support :D

Finally the problem isn't the DLC or the file mentioned above. I make the conversion with fresh install plus the patch and not work always. It's another problem, but that I not recognized.

Which patch did you apply? v20131204?

The-revenge

04-02-2014, 06:27

Which patch did you apply? v20131204?
no I applied only v20131106 and patch v2, because v20131204 fix minor bug that don't affect gameplay

INSTRUCTIONS:
--------------------------------------------------
1. Install Batman Arkham Origins, apply all possible patches up to v20131204 (tested).

So, you have, I think, an adequate explanation of your problems. No comment... Maybe one:

I applied also patch v20131204...nothing to do, error persist, in the same file (file not found). Maybe there are a problem to run che pre process bat file?

Considering thath the problem is probably the uncompressing of upk file, can you tell me how to make a conversion that don't uncompress upk file, and apply only an ARC compression to originally upk file,to make a SP only, maybe 1xDVD9+1xDVD5. Thank you in advice

@The-revenge just delete preprocess file and recreate data3.
Next try to set bunch of files that can fit on DVD9 (probaly setup.exe, data1.cab, data2.cab, data3.cab).
Next create setup.ini next to setup.exe

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile3=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile4=Data4.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2;

Ok now it works. I only delete preprocess of file data3, it's not necessary to create setup.ini because the second DVD fit in a DVD5 (data3.cab and data4.cab) but only if you delete the CommonRedist folder.

Ok, I redid this conversion now with Initiation dlc (SP only). Gotta say it work 100% for me.

Here's what i did:

1) Installed game and all updates + dlc (Initiation included)
2) Removed foreign languages manually from both dlc and main game (in my case I kept ENG)
3) Ran BAMsE's converter (SP only) and waited for it to finish.
4) Made setup.ini file with this setting -
[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;
FreeArcFile3=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2;
FreeArcFile4=Data4.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:3;

5) Made iso as 3 dvds. (Data4.cab being on dvd 3)

Solution for the game updated at this date with all DLC's. (MP+SP) (4xDVD5) (Multi2, English + Your language)
1) Install the game.
2) Install all updates and DLC's.
3) Go to "SinglePlayer\DLC\237619" and delete all foreign languages folders and "*_ForeignLanguage.wad" files. Replace "ForeignLanguage" with the language you do not need, leave only INT & YourLanguage folders and "*_int.wad" & "*_YourLanguage.wad". Replace "YourLanguage" with your language.
4) Go to "SinglePlayer\DLC\277830" and realize the same from the previous step.
5) Go to "BAO_2xDVD5_or_3xDVD5_v2\files" and edit "data4_excl.lst":
Add the lines:
SinglePlayer\DLC\237619\*
SinglePlayer\DLC\277830\*
6) Add the line "Online\BMGame\CookedPCConsole\English(US)\*" to "data5_YourLanguage_incl.lst". Replace "YourLanguage" with your language.
7) Create "data7_incl.lst" with this lines:
SinglePlayer\DLC\237619\*
SinglePlayer\DLC\277830\*
SinglePlayer\BMGame\CookedPCConsole\English(US)\*
8) Create empty "data7.excl.lst".
9) Open "decompress.lst" and delete the line "Playable_BmCash_SF.upk", save and close.
10) Delete "data6_postprocess.bat".
11) Create "data7_postprocess.bat" with this lines:
@echo off
rem if not exist "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini" (
echo.[ExtractSettings] >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile1=Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile2=Data2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile3=Data5.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile4=Data6.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:2; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile5=Data7.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:3; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile6=Data3.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:4; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
echo.FreeArcFile7=Data4.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:4; >> "%temp_dir:~0,-1%1\setup.ini"
:EOF
12) Go to "BAO_2xDVD5_or_3xDVD5_v2" and edit the "compress (SP + MP).bat" file:
Modify the lines:
"arc7_method=" to "set arc7_method=a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8"
"set arc3_disc=3" to "set arc3_disc=4"
"set arc4_disc=3" to "set arc3_disc=4"
"set arc7_disc=" to "set arc7_disc=3"
Save and close.
13) Run "compress (SP + MP).bat" and select your installation folder and your language, ignore english language, this was automatically added.

Work's perfect.
Sorry for my english.

Tested in Windows 8.1 Update 1 (x64)

Final sizes with english + spanish(mexico) languages:

For problems with the creation of the .cab's:
Disable UAC or start windows in safe mode.
For the 1st option:
- Go to "Control panel -> System and Security" and select "Change User Account Control Settings". Scroll down the bar and press "Ok". Restart and start compression.
For the 2nd option:
- Press F8 before the initiation of windows and select "Safe Mode" (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7).
- Go to the right panel and press "Configuration -> Shutdown" and press Shift+Shutdown. Wait. Press "Troubleshoot -> Advanced options -> Startup settings". Press "restart". After restart press "4". Wait the initiation. Start the compression. (Windows 8, Windows 8.1).
