Razor12911's Project Previews

[Razor12911]

This thread will show up all project previews from the programs created or being created by Razor12911.
Normally, I get disadvantaged (i.e. Installer Creator v2.6, v2.7 and yep, they are available as updates and can upload them anytime, their release dates were set 3 weeks ago or just three days after v2.5.1 after some bugs were found by the creator of of course). This makes me extend the production time because the audience is low and people don't even report bug (there are exceptions though, you know yourselves) so I will just create, share preview, if people like and want, I start creating the project fully then post it, Simple as that.

Projects I am currently working on:

Advanced Setup Creator

[Razor12911]

Project Start-up date: 08-June-2014

[malavan.gamer]

hi friend When Would you release installer pack ?

[Shadow Delta]

The transparent installer doesn't seem's visually much impressive. the metro installer, project was better, and that was indeed a nice project which got a really clean interface. :) well i loved the screenshots of the metro one and this fails to catch an eye.
[may be, only for me..]

[Logrim]

I think and installer not only have to been impressive visually, it have to be practical and gratefull to the eyes.. and to me the transparent installer is very practical and gratefull to the eyes :D.

To me, is how for example emulator frontends. There is HyperSpin (very impressive visually with the correct themes) and MaLa frontend (visually poor than HyperSpin, but 100 times more practical).

P.D Moderators, if i cant speak about emulators, delete this post, i dont want skip rules

[may be, only for me..]

not really easy to do, not using Inno for this one and I'm using FireMonkey platform which makes it very difficult but I'd say this will be better when it is finished.

[Shadow Delta]

That rounds it up, and i think this is going to look a lot more better once the project sees limelight. :) as more users and more suggestions will be on the way. leaving room for more advanced improvements. including the interface. (Y)

[Razor12911]

another preview based on TI

[Carldric Clement]

Project Start-up date: 08-June-2014

Where's the file? i mean, i need to try it to a new version is about "Installer Creator v3.1" with another file tools used it! :D :cool:

[Razor12911]

not out yet bro, and now that my pc got busted, every project is gone and the only thong that I have left is the stupid Windows Phone Script v2.3 and the source of Installer Creatot which I can't even compile because I don't even have RAD Studio or Inno Setup.
so it is really bad...

[Razor12911]

Some pictures of Advanced Setup Creator

At least you MAY be able to add as many labels, images and other graphic objects as you want and remove the ones which you do not want.


Working with this difficult Delphi code but I am learning, and I now know what is happening.:)

type
TCustomEffect = (efNormal, efShadow, efBlur, efGlow, efInnerGlow, efReflection);
TCustomFontStyles = record
Bold, Italic, Underline, StrikeOut, Uppercase, Lowercase: Boolean;
end;
TCustomPosition = record
Left, Top, Width, Height, Rotation, OffsetX, OffSetY: Single;
end;
TCustomLabel = class
strict private
Shd: TShadowEffect;
Blr: TBlurEffect;
Glw: TGlowEffect;
IGl: TInnerGlowEffect;
Ref: TReflectionEffect;
Sel: TSelection;
Lbl: TLabel;
Text: String;
public
protected
published
constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent);
function ReadPosition: TCustomPosition;
function ReadFont: TFont;
function ReadFontColor: TAlphaColor;
function ReadText: String;
procedure WritePosition(Left, Top, Width, Height, Rotation, OffsetX, OffSetY: Single);
function WriteFont: TFont;
function WriteFontColor: TAlphaColor;
function WrtieText: String;
end;

[Razor12911]

Another Screenshot:
This time, I managed to make custom controls which you guys are going to use, picking from the control box then pasting it in the form then starting editing them like this. At least, you can add a maximum of 100 items for each control, I will increase to 250 if there are no performance issues.

In the image, I added 3 labels with effects, shadow, blur and glow.
also 3 images, with rotation, glow, reflection and shadow.
These effects can also be adjusted by using the toolbox which is not currently present.

With the designer in Advanced Setup Creator, you can also make BlackBox installer or even R.G. Mechanics script if you are really good with designing unlike the designer in Installer Creator

A few templates will be included, likely the BlackBOX template.

I am also working as fast as I can, also taking shortcuts in creating the program so that you guys can start making conversions.

What is not good about this is that, I have discovered a few bugs in the new RAD Studio XE7 and I hope that they do not affect the program in any way.
I also hope that XE8 will be better than XE7, XE6 or XE5 in the matter of bugs.

[thinkbigearnbig]

I don't have any words to say. You are brilliant and master on this. Great job.

[Razor12911]

Not really, I am improvising here bro, this thing gives me a headache sometimes because I meet up with problems which I can't solve in Delphi.

[Razor12911]

Merry Christmas forum, here is my Christmas present.

[pakrat2k2]

that is going to make awesome looking effects..

[Razor12911]

Yea, it is but XE7 is making things difficult with its bugs. In order for me to implement a feature, I have to make a fix first then start implementing.
Anyways, Progress is 35%, you will be able to add 3D controls as well, set up the X, Y and Z axis.

[Razor12911]

Some screenshots. These show the editing options for the label object.

[thinkbigearnbig]

Really cool. Still don't have words to express what will be the new Installer Creator.

[Razor12911]

@Everyone,
This program, Advanced Setup Creator will be finished very soon. Maybe early next year, I have taken all the shortcuts to speed up the project's development process without making and errors that lead to bugs. So far, in theory
... The project may be complete in 10-30 days.
At the moment, I am dealing with a difficult code which I can't solve, but once I get past this problem, the production period will decrease amazingly.

The current progress:
Gathering info section: 70%
Designer: 20%(am stuck here)
Installer: Haven't started because designer is incomplete.

Oh, the program will fully be available to anyone, it is free.

[Razor12911]

Create something like this with Advanced Setup Creator

I am not good with graphics but I created that, I just loaded 3 images but now the installer looks like a png imaged installer, I rotated the two images above by - 7 and 7 degrees. I edited the corners so that they must be round and added white sides, lol. This took less than a minute.

Progress 50%

installer will be inno based or your own?

[Razor12911]

It won't be Inno based, it will be based on RAD Studio, at least I know how to do yhe installation and uninstallation, I did my research., In theory, it will work.

[Razor12911]

List of progress bars that may be available, Like I said, I will do it my way...

[Razor12911]

Another screenshot, I haven't been working on the program for the past week so I am behind.

I also decided not to stop working on Installer Creator because Advanced Setup Creator will be for people who know what they are doing with the program, as in professionals and Installer Creator will be for newbies.

Now working on ASC initial release and IC version 2.9

[Shadow Delta]

Progress bar styles, :D Really good. So much improvements are looks stunning with options too. :D

[Razor12911]

A new program I am working on.

UltraARC.

This will allow freearc archives to be split in to equal sets to fit media output of your choice.
The only thing that you do is select source directory, and output directory, method, split options then compression and splitting will take place.

I am quite sure that compression is not a problem in theory but decompression might be, but I will try to make it possible with Inno Setup scripts, a few examples for selected scripts such as IC and CIU will get this feature.

[Razor12911]

Lol, It turns out compression was the difficult part for UltraARC, but I took care of it. Done.
I tested the program on NFS Underground 2 and it produced excellent results regardless of the method for compression I chose, UltraARC made all media CDs equal in size with no fuss, I just stood right in front of my PC while it did its job. I will post test executable file tomorrow.
The only thing that is left is decompression that uses little space then make inno setup script example.

Look's like a new compressor.
& have a method from checkbox!

Weldone Bro!

Do you speak Russian

[Razor12911]

Realtech_Redux
Nope, I can only speak English.

[thinkbigearnbig]

When are you going to upload Installer Creator 2.9 and the ASC?

[Razor12911]

Soon, I am almost done with IC, adding proper video playback. ASC, I am kinda stuck in creating the program.

[Razor12911]

Hooray, I am done with UltraARC, it works perfectly on my PC but I have to complete perfection by getting results from the tester.

what is left is CI and CIU implementations, some scripts on request will get this feature.

I did 10xCD700 installation and all volumes were exactly 700mb, and the installer does show progress for merging processes. What is amusing is that it requires less hard drive space as possible, but it depends on how you as a user set the values of splitting.

Will be uploading soon after the test results and implementations.

[Razor12911]

Now that UltraARC is complete, I went back to ASC.

Here are a few screenshots.

What I mostly like is the NFSRivals screenshot.
meaning, you can have two sets of installation graphics in one exe.

it is your choice, if you want to imagime how ASC will work like once it is done, just start playing around with AutoPlay Studio.

[pakrat2k2]

That is going to be oh so handy... but be prepared for all the questions, asking to make a tutorial. :p

[Razor12911]

I will make a tutorial for this thing, unlike Installer Creator which is junk. I can't believe I created that crappy software, updating or improving on that software isn't easy at all, I guess I was a noob back then.

[chum]

I want to make a question, i dont find any installer compatible with precomp 0.43 and srep 3.93. Is there no possibility to adapt installer to precomp 0.43?

[Razor12911]

For precomp 043 you have to relate to preconpinside043 and WPI, IC and UA supports srep 3.93.

[chum]

For precomp 043 you have to relate to preconpinside043 and WPI, IC and UA supports srep 3.93.

Sorry i'm only a noob without programming knowledge, i just see that 0.43 work faster than 0.42 for files but no installer work with it. I meant an installer software working for both srep 3.93 and precomp 0.43 at same time.

I already use Installer Creator with srep 3.93, nice job.

[Razor12911]

Precomp 043 only seems to be working faster because of the packjpg_dll.dll (packjpg25.dll), it also shows progress when processing whereas the older versions don't, they actually do almost work the same as precomp043, when the packjpg_dll.dll which is 137kb or 934kb, but the one which is 10kb or 9kb is the slowest and it doesn't show progress but the results are great, especially when you use precomp 038 or 040.

The other thing that makes most scripts not to support precomp043 is the fact that decompressing is a problem, you face a lot of errors.
Which is similar to easy compression but difficult decompression, rather face difficult compression and easy decompression.

[chum]

I only tested precomp042 and 043, i see you prefer old versions like 038, why should i use 038 instead of 042?

[yasitha]

Razor12911 bro please reply me.....

[Razor12911]

New Project

Graphic Studio

It will elps some of us who are less fortunate in creating graphics quickly.

[Razor12911]

Advanced Setup Creator progress.

But uses a bit more ram than I expected. It will surely require 4gb for a 8k hd installer. 7680x4320 resolution.

[Razor12911]

Guys, ASC is almost complete, but my main worry is that I definately don't think there are people who are going to use this program without asking a lot of questions. It is quite difficult to use but becomes easier once you have made your first project, right now, The main program is almost complete and the installer itself, well, haven't started on that yet.

What I can tell you right now is that you can be able to do almost anything with Advanced Setup Creator hope that I can get rewarded or paid by doing this project.

You can command an object like an image to spin clockwise or anticlockwise repeatedly like gif or swf media do.
You can command an object to move left to right or what ever direction in loop.
Well, list goes on, there are just too many things that you can do with ASC. You can replicate the BlackBox installer as is and how it works. You can just copy any inno script but not 100% but just something that just looks like it.

[coveiro]

Seems to have everything I need, I look forward to test, great job

Looking Good, can't wait for touch that thing :D

get better and finish your work :)
Good Luck bro.!

[Razor12911]

Thanks, only thing left are custom checkboxes and radio buttons and a couple of bug fixes, a preview exe will be sent out soon.

[Stor31]

Good Luck bro.!

[Razor12911]

A quick copy of BlackBox v2 in Advanced Setup Creator

[SAM2712]

OMG RAZOR what have u done..!
Very Good Luck for this Project..!
Really Impressive...!
Can't for this...!
Surely u will get Reward For this from users..!
;):)

[Razor12911]

Thanks guys, I'm in the final stages of the program.
Any feature you wish should be there in ASC before I start making the installer, just name that feature and it will be added. (I only want to write the program once)

[Carldric Clement]

We'll wait bro.

[Razor12911]

Another preview of what you can do.

I am taking shortcuts where possible to finish this project quickly

[Stor31]

Waw :eek::eek::eek:
Very Good Luck for this Project..!
Hammmmmm :D:D:D

2017 :) ;)

[mikey26]

good work bro...you see there is some great talent out of SA....

[Razor12911]

progress bars are animated already.
haven't focused on system check yet

[Razor12911]

Good news and bad news.

Good news:
There is a lot of progress with ASC, Got the latest screenshot.

Bad news:
RAD Studio XE7 is now outdated.
I have to update the program to XE8 which is now available to me butI have capped internet so, it is going to be difficult to get around this one, but fortunately, mikey26 might help me.

[Razor12911]

not cool.

it's more like a game with memory usage.

but who am I kidding, I loaded a png 6 mb image (8192x8192) and 3 other very big images and that was the result.

[Razor12911]

New project guys, just theory work though, but I think it could work. most games do not have game definition file, (gdf), Well I figured out a way to make one myself, lol. Ok, some of you might remember, I posted GDFMaker, I didn't know how to use it, but the tool is not completely useless but I figured out how to make it useful.
Just a theory but I think I will make it work.

[Razor12911]

GDFMaker Progress

[Stor31]

Hi Razor
thank you for everything you do for us mere mortal :D
how much time remains for us to test this jewel :o

[ratnadeep]

Dude that was awesome i can't wait... but i have too... please relese as soon as u can

[Razor12911]

How the animations will work in ASC.

But still got a long way to go...

[ekias642]

when release ACS? good work

[pakrat2k2]

^^ Even read Razor's post above ??

[Razor12911]

Back on track, just got XE8.
Will be adding a web browser function for people who like to put ads on their installer to make money. This feature can be placed on the installer, just write your address and you're in.

[Inge]

How the animations will work in ASC.

But still got a long way to go...

This looks awesome! Is it Flash animation?

[Razor12911]

no, it is not a flash, it is just basic png images,

First, I loaded a red background image which is jpg.
Secondly, I loaded two building png images, one behind and one in front.
Thirdly, I loaded a logo.
Fourthly, I loaded two cars from nfsmw which are png.

Then I set animation on loop. One building png moving slowly from right to left. and the other moving faster.

Same with the cars.

Then I put an arc to rotate indefinitely as a sign that the game is loading or something.

Like I said, ASC will make installers that you can design freely.
Only thing that I have to do is hope that I will be done with this project before June 14 this year.

[y_thelastknight]

Back on track, just got XE8.

i think XE8 is better than any other version i used.

[Razor12911]

yea sure, I also consider XE8 to be more stable than the other versions. I hope XE9 doesn't go back to the family of buggies (XE5 - XE7).

either way, the BB v2 Wizard is almost done.

and I will be out for a few days, my eyes aren't friends with the PC monitor at the moment, Today I was watching a movie at the cinemas in 3D and my eyes are ****** tired, I wonder how is that possible because I had 3D glasses on. (I don't think it was real passive 3D, Just some cinemas ripping customers off with simulated 3D).

[kassane]

At least the Delphi XE8 was better than Cpp, because the C++ builder is very buggy, not a single command "SelectDirectory" works, Cpp is better to use XE7.

[Razor12911]

I see, so it is Visa Versa, anyways, I don't use CPP, it is too complicated and quite complex.

[Razor12911]

Here is a designer preview of Advanced Setup Creator.

This only shows the designing features in the program. I have been working on this since last year and it seems like I am not making any progress so I think I'll just leave it like that unless if you guys have anything in mind then I will add it if it is addable, otherwise, once I am done with the designer, the rest is just easy to make.

I'd say this is better when you compare it to my old program that I did two years ago which is Installer Creator, in that program, you were only allowed to do things to a certain extent but with this one, there is not limitation, in other words, you build what you desire.

[oltjon]

nice idea .. needs much work

if you go on with the work I will try to give my modest contribution

[coveiro]

Perfect

[ekias642]

cool, when release the project sir razor?

[Razor12911]

Yup, it definitely needs some work. But I am working on it. I have to be done with this program quickly before Varsity stuff if I am lucky.

The release date is still disputed.

[Stor31]

Perfect
wonderful work

[ekias642]

awaiting release :O

nice

[gozarck]

Wow. Awesome work. Where is the donation button? :LOL

[ivanlakersss666]

Good luck friend ;)

[kassane]

Wonderful project!;)

Including this preview has shown that:

-Beautiful Design, quite innovative and simple;
-Very practical even for beginners;
-High Performance CPU. If this preview proved so good, I imagine that you are perfecting the release version. Good luck and good work.:D

And by the way I hope the bugs Delphi does not interfere in the project.:o

[Razor12911]

Thanks guys. i am now making progress.
The only things left are:
saving and loading project info.
Making the default setup.
Just two things left, i am working as fast as i can to finish project without making a lot of alpha and beta versions like installer creator.
@kassane
thanks bro, about delphi bugs, everything is a ok with xe8. Most stable for exe creation but for dll, its a problem so i always have to rely on xe3 or 2010. And about cpu, i tried not to use a lot of timers because they load up cpu for reason sometimes. But the memory usage is too much ~ 200mb on start up.

[Razor12911]

Great news guys. I am almost done with ASC. I'd say the progress is 65%, I will be choosing a couple of users to run a few tests very soon. Time here is 12:51am and I gotta get some shut eye. Keep checking your PM Boxes. You might be chosen.

[mikey26]

looking forward to this mate.

[Razor12911]

hmmm, I guess I was a bit forward. I am now stuck with the project again, I normally don't save checkpoints because I believe in myself and now I regret that because the project is now messed up and I cannot load a checkpoint because it,does not exist. But will get back on track very soon, the release date is pushed forward to the 7th of July from June 16.

Preview 3

Like, I said, you can create anything. You can imitate a game. Never mind the other files, just run setup.exe.

Oh, I also hit a bump, because my pc is infected by an attachment sent by someone from this forum so, got a lot of data to scan and save. Some stuff is deleted, hopefully I can recover.

Advanced Setup Creator preview 4

Almost there... :)

[Razor12911]

Release date has to be moved forward guys, RAD Studio XE8 has a lot of bugs and the creator never listen to the software user.
The reason I am moving forward the date is because custom fonts are not accepted by the program, so I have to make a fix for this, the labels when rotated leave a grey mark don't know why, the setup sometimes formats one of your hard drives for no reason, it happened to me and lost a lot of data. So, I really have to move the date because I do not want to be held responsible for data loss or any other incident, I am working as fast as I can but there are bumps even on a well built road too.

ASC Preview 5

Well I'd say I am proud of myself... Guys, just check it out. This is setup is not optimized in any way so it might take long to load and do all the other stuff. It will be optimized soon though.

[Razor12911]

Like I said, Still needs optimization. It is big because I used Full HD Material (1920x1080) on a 700x400 setup.

Good luck for the continuation

[Razor12911]

Alright guys, it seems like ASC MAY be released on the 7th of July as an alpha version if not then the 8th-10th of July.
Some of you might wonder why haven't I asked for translations, well you add those yourself. For now the installer is just simple, no music nor videoplayback, I didn't add those because of the release date, no time. Splash and all those other thing you add them yourself. Today I was messing around with circular progress bars, they are quite awesome, I also didn't have time to optimize setup but will do all that as updates. Freearc couldn't be added because I just do not understand how threads work, it just unpacks archives for 3 seconds then it says it is done although it isn't, so I have to learn how threads work before I can add freearc unpacking feature. I managed to add 7zip though, unlike isdone, you can unpack cab, zip, wim, iso or whatever archive and whats even better, the setup can compress too so it does both, not just decompress.
Well you can do about anything you can think of with ASC.
And some of you might remember, I said I will add realistic music equaliser, well, I haven't forgotten about that, the feature is going to be there in asc.
