[pakrat2k2]

nice job on the choices V1 vs V2 ;)

[thedeamon]

just figured to include compression within freearc as follows:

arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ -m=rep:1024mb+mm+delta+dispack+4x4:lzma:ultra:50mb -mm [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] -dp"C:\Program Files (x86)\Activision Blizzard\Diablo III" .

In the package, just modify the compress.bat file with the -m0 option with the following:

"-m=rep:1024mb+mm+delta+dispack+4x4:lzma:ultra:50mb -mm"

Ref: http://martin.ankerl.com/2012/06/07/freearc-compression-settings/

Usage: Arc command [options...] archive [files... @listfiles...]
Commands:
a add files to archive
e extract files from archive ignoring pathnames
r recover archive using recovery record
x extract files from archive
Options:

-dpDIR --diskpath=DIR base DIR on disk
-epMODE --ExcludePath=MODE Exclude/expand path MODE
-mMETHOD --method=METHOD compression METHOD (-m0..-m9, -m1x..-m9x)
-mmMODE --multimedia=MODE set multimedia compression to MODE
-ms --StoreCompressed store already compressed files
-mtTHREADS --MultiThreaded=THREADS number of compression THREADS
-mx maximum internal compression mode
-nFILESPECS --include=FILESPECS include only files matching FILESPECS
-r --recursive recursively collect files
-wDIRECTORY --workdir=DIRECTORY DIRECTORY for temporary files
-xFILESPECS --exclude=FILESPECS exclude FILESPECS from operation

Just test and report back cab sizes. I think its still 4xdvd5.

[thedeamon]

yes, I was able to save just 600MB with the argument....still needs 4 x DVD5.

For those who like 2 x DVD9, here is the content of .lst files:

Data1:

*
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\Cache\*
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\enGB\*
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\Win\*
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\base-Win.mpq
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\ClientData.mpq
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\CoreData.mpq
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\HLSLShaders.mpq
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\Sound.mpq

Data2:

Data_D3\PC\MPQs\enGB_Cutscene.mpq
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\enGB_Text.mpq
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\enGB_Audio.mpq
Data_D3\PC\MPQs\Texture.mpq

Data3/4/5 list files not reqd in 2xDVD9 setup build.

Since the 2.05 update, the following is seen:

Creating Data.cab's, please wait...

Compressing 81 files, 10,752,972,167 bytes. Processed 27.3%

Data1.lst entry of * seems to be creating a 10GB Data1.CAB

Is it possible to fix?

For a 2xDVD9 config, do we need a new build of the installer EXE? If yes, please provide one.

[thedeamon]

Fixed the 10GB Data1.CAB issue.

Compressing 72 files, 4,895,168,151 bytes. Processed 50.3%

Issue was , I forgot to update Data4/5.lst files with correct language entries.

However, for 2xDVD9 config, we do need a new build of the installer EXE? If yes, please provide one in a separate thread.

Also realised keeping compression option as m6 instead "-m0" , we get a decent compression too viz time to compress.

[KaktoR]

I will check this. Be patient.

edit: As "thedeamon" says at post #6, with strong compression its still 4xDVD5. Therefore higher compression doesn't make sense ;)

I will build a new exe for DVD9 version and post this in a seperate thread.

@Mods: Please fix title of topic to v2.0.5.24017

unfortunately my upload space has reached the max here on fileforums. have to wait for response from mods or so.

[k00lbuddy]

plz upload the source code.....

Have patience, a request has been put forward to Empire.

@Mods: Please fix title of topic to v2.0.5.24017

Done ;)

plz upload the source code.....

Not going to happen. The only way you can get the source is via 'yener', and he no longer visits.
It was a 'Private' release to only a selected few, it was never meant to be public, be happy with what you get from those selected few.
And if you continue to spam the forums asking for it, you will be banned. End of story. ;)

Not that much. If you are interested in, just test with precomp for file "CoreData.mpq". Just in this moment i test it with "Textures.mpq".

Just replace filename in Test.bat and start.

Takes a lot of time.

[pakrat2k2]

title updated to v2.0.6.24641 as requested :)

[KaktoR]

Have to re-organize all lst files. Game size increased to 18,3GB. I'm not sure if it fit on 4xDVD5. Testing around with some compression.

[KaktoR]

Hi guys. I have bad news. Unfortunately the game does not fit on 4xDVD5 anymore.

What you can do:

Deal with it

or

Wait for Blizzard to patch out unnecessary files out of the game with a future patch (enjoy waiting time...)

or

Experimental: go to {root}\Data_D3\PC\MPQs\Cache\base and delete file "patch-base-26451.MPQ" (3,7GB). Re-done conversion with conversion files from 2.0.6. Install D3 from conversion, open B.net app and click "Scan and repair". I'm not sure if it works.

or

Recomended: If you have already done the conversion for game v2.0.6, use old conversion and patch to latest version after install


As well for DVD9 version it looks not good. At the moment i'm busy with compress several game files with highest Arc compression. Srep is a waste of time, between 97% and 99% compression ratio, not much to say here. Precomp... well, test for yourself.

DVD1: 4,16GB
DVD2: 4,28GB
DVD3: 4,28GB
DVD4: 3,99GB (f*** you patch-base-26451.MPQ)
DVD5: 1,60GB

@Mods: Please change title to 5xDVD5 :(

PS: Attachment up.

*ragequit*

[KaktoR]

Updated for version 2.1.2.28709

Extract contents of v2.1.2.28709-DVD5.rar to conversion dir and overwrite, then compress.

@Mods: Please change version on title :P

[pakrat2k2]

title changed here too ;)

[KaktoR]

Hey

since the game has become an update, i've prepared a patch for the Setup which contains the following changes

CIUv2:
-Updated setup script to latest version
-Changed Splash.png to a bit larger version
-Added a extra section to autorun page. There you'll find the website button from now on
-Removed website button from autorun logo
-Reworked small installer screen to match with the new changes
-Adjust list files and Setup.ini to work with the new CASC file system

Download the file "Diablo3-setup-patch-110-dvd5-xdelta.rar" from first post, extract the contents of the file next to Setup.exe and run Patcher.bat.

Also download "v2.2.0.30894a-DVD5.rar" for the new file lists. Any language changes in list files are now obsolete because the game has the same files for every language. If you have a Setup.ini file next to Setup.exe, delete it.

I've also made a other design with Installer Creator by razor12911. If you prefer this one, download "Diablo3-setup-patch-110-design2-dvd5-xdelta.rar", extract the contents of the file next to Setup.exe and run Patcher.bat (only for 106 setup!).

@mod: Please change title to [4xDVD5 - m0] [v2.2.0.30894a]

[pakrat2k2]

done :)

[KaktoR]

conversion completely re-worked. If anyone still want this.

[KaktoR]

Added Necromancer version. Now with UltraARC.

useless info w/out game file

useless info w/out game file

Useless comment without knowledge of what the files are for and what Fileforums is about!

Hint: Fileforums is not a 'warez' site. ;)

[KaktoR]

People still thinking we share complete games here?

Man, this forum is ONLY for backup purposes.

[WaltonSimons]

Man this installer is pretty. I'll likely use it to make a decent backup once the constant patching calms down a bit.
