Hi, forum users, here you can get my project, that called Game Installer Designer (or simply GID)
about project:
this project allow easy create backup installer for your favorite (or not very) game,
this is not new idea, to make program like this, something like this you see in yener90's Designer or Razor12911's Conversion Designer.
Its designed for my Game Installer (simple name :), i decide to rename my previous Layered Installer, it's idea by Grumpy (http://fileforums.com/member.php?u=63862))
and i try to make designer very easy to use,
with current version you can create conversion based on Inno Setup (Internal) or FreeArc|7z|WinRAR|Srep|Precomp|XDelta (External).

about Game Installer:
used Inno Setup 5.5.5u by Jordan Russell,
internal and external compression,
based on exclusive libraries created by me (pckr.dll - user data protection, lui.dll work with graphics),
playing music during installation, playing sounds on events of buttons(mouse enter, click),
using png images with half transparent regions without bmp mask as background,
animated or/and simple splash screen before installation,
slideshow during installation(.jpg),
video during installation(.bik)

Good work till now :). But there seems to be a Bug with Compiling after Designing.
If I Change anything theres a Error in Compile Window for a bit of second (not readable) and compile won't work. If I close the Designer and open again Compiling works, but all Button Sizes, Positions and Fonts are on Standard. Also the Main Options exept the Icon. It goes all back to Borderlands... :confused:

I know you still work on Designer but I have little wishes:

Please make a real Save file (like .icp savefile) and add a Load Project Button.
Please add Slideshow and Video to Layered Installer (I was thinking the Designer was made for Enhanced Installer ??)
Please add Simple Buttons Option, I'm not familiar with Buttons like in Example
Please fix the Bugs!

Thanks! :)

1: do you clicked save project before compiling? i am try to repeat your instructions and this works fine for me.
2. .icp is simple zip archive, i wil add this future but i can do this only when designer will be able to edit all configs(current version cant change splash, redist section and few small things)
3. slideshow and video will be added later (designer was made for Game installer because Enhanced Installer is toooo hard to design)
4.i will do this.

P.S. as you can see, i rename Layered Installer to Game Installer, because it's more informative :p

Yes I've clicked saved project, will try again later without doing this. But before I upload any Conversion with your Designer/Installer I'll wait for better working or more complete version.

But till yet Designer is REALLY EASY to use! Go on! ;)

Can you try to add a Tab for Shortcuts? If People (like me) forgot to change the Option in Installer.ini before Compile a Game, we got no Shortcuts.
For redists would also be good.

I’ve tested v.1.1 of your Designer and I think I’ve found a few Problems/Bugs.

1: I’ve got no clue how to add Redists to Designer I found no ‘add’ Button like ‘add Shortcut’
http://www11.pic-upload.de/08.08.14/wrg843d22mp.png (http://www.pic-upload.de/view-24185100/Redist.png.html)
2: I’ve Enabled all Options in Media Task, but got Problems with Slideshow and Background Music during Installation.
The Installation starts with Video, Problemless (Good Idea using .bik Video b.t.w.), but the Slideshow won’t Start after the Video and the Background Music is complete Disabled. Also I have a Text on Small Installer who should not be there (red marked).

Ha, works Perfect now without any Error :D. But theres one little critic Point.
The Slideshow Overlays the SmallInstaller now, theres no way to turn of the Background Music during Installation or use the minimize/close Button.

If I publish a Conversion not everybody wants to hear the Music or want to make other things during Installation. Maby you should change that if possible.

But till now, it's very good. Even the Redist working fine, no need to put something on DVD1 or DVD2, Redist can be automatic Installed direct after Installing the Game. 9/10 Thumbs up!;)

so you want to add ability choosing some components of conversion (music, slideshow or video), hmm interesting idea, i think i can do this

Hi altef,

I have taken an eye since two weeks on your Installer Designer.
I have begin to try your Installer Designer and have right now allrdy a newbie question:

I have make the Design and all the stuff right now and I would like to try a test Installation. But I can't find any Point to include my files for the Installer.

Do I Need something Special to do this???

BTW, Thank you very much for your work

I don't get, you can't create test setup.exe, or don't know how to add files inside (game files)?

And by the way, your installer designer is great. It's really proffessional. I have looked around the web to find something like this. Thumps up for your work!!!

Just turn on slider in compression tab, (Use internall compression = yes), save your project, export it, import and when you click compile - you will be abble to select folder for compression.

i don't have enough time to test this version well, so can be new bugs, please report me if you find something wrong ;)

02-09-2014, 05:53
The Program itself is very easy.

All you have to know:

1: for Video Convert .avi to .bik with Rad Video Tool
2: For Internal Compression:
1: save it.
2: click export.
3: click import and select YourSevadProjectName.db file.
4: only then you will be able to compile it.
3: for External Compressed Files:
try to use freearc tab, input - {src}\yourarchive.arc, output- {app}, extraction path- empty, extract pcf,jpg recompression, delete input- no, then try to install, if all success - you will find records.inf in folder with setup.exe move it to ISDone folder (in folder with designer), and compile project again (with slider Records.inf=yes)
4: All Pictures have to be .png except Slideshow, theres no need for a Image Mask (.bmp)
5: all Sounds (Button Sounds also) have to be .mp3

Be shure you make all steps correct!

Internal Compression

- Designe your Installer
- Save Project
- Click export
- Then Import
- Then Compile
- Choose output Folder
- Then Game Folder(!)
- After Compiling start Setup.exe be shure Data.db is in the same Directory

There should be no Problems...
In your Pictures is no Game Data (setup-1a.bin) to Install!

is there a way to deactivate buttons and pages, and autorun?i hate autorun.

the freedom of creating a wizard-installer OR a fullscreen setup with small window would be great.

my personal taste is a paged setup, where every page asks the user about the information, install dir and shortcuts for example. (like every setup does)

what about components? soundtrack and DLCs getting de/activated by the user?

in current version - no, autorun is needed for language selection.

i have some plans for changing installer but my installer will not be "pages style" , because most of others installers use page mode, so i don't see why i must create another one, you can use some of them.

what about components? soundtrack and DLCs getting de/activated by the user?
this in plans.

I'm not sure if this works with altef_4's GID but for the buttons you 'dont' want you can set them off the page. In other words give the button placement coordinates as a negative number. If the button width is 200 pixels then set the left coordinate as -220 (the number has to be greater than the 200 pixels assigned to the actual button) and set the Top coordinate at -60 (higher number if the button is more than 50 pixels in height. That should make the button appear as invisible as it wont actually be on the page. ;)

you can use Grumpy methods to hide some buttons, i thought about automatic hiding of some buttons (info, license, group) if they are useless, and i will do this in next version.

You can deactivate/hide the Browse DVD and Web Button on Autorun and Shortcut and Info Button on Setup. You have to let License and System Req. or the Installer say something like "can't Install because of... don't accept License, don't look at Sys req."
Folder Button is needed if you got more than one HD Partition.

i used this method in IC too. or you make the buttons 0px wide and high and put them in one corner. (switch captions off, too)

OR if no license or folder is specified, the buttons wont be created, since they have no use.

i will track this one

hi guys, as title says - i need your help, now i working on adding "Config Panel" into installer, and i'm not shure, will be better to remove Minimize and Exit buttons from all forms (and place them on Config panel - img2), leave them on forms (only Slideshow, Video, Music buttons on Config panel - img1) or make both variants (user choose), what you think what variant will be better?

Grumpy

Personally I think 'make both variants (user chooses)'. Users like choices so the more choices you give the more it will be used. ;)

Nice work btw. :)

buttons on screens created by Logrim, as for designer, probably next version will be 2.0, cause will be few big changes in designer and installer, but now i have not many free time for it (many work in real life).

No Errors for me with Alpha.

Have you ever tested your Installer with Multiple DVDs based on external Compression (arc + srep)? I've got a few Problems with it.
I've tested with Dead Island + Riptide ( 2x DVD5 with srep), Dead Island runs from 0% to 100%, Riptide (DVD2) from 100% to 200% but here runs the Slideshow like hell (three Pics in one second).
If I move Records.inf to ISDone folder and compile again the Complete Designer Crashes and the GIDsave is deleted/not to use anymore.

Can you tell me what's wrong (what I do wrong)?

that's why i asked for help with testing an external compression, to fix progress try to set progress percent for every archive (in designer percent of total), as for slideshow, try to set auto change interval to value > 5.

3: open end edit your converted .iss .
4 : rename it to Registry.iss
5. put it into folder with designers and compile your project

No need for integrate it to Designer only make the Output and Compression Methods Compatible.

2: Tried to add the Files in Arc Tab from Designer, ends in two Errors (no SREP File, out of Memory) and Installer Crashes
3: Tried to add the Files direct to SREP Tab from Designer, but if I click the add Button, nothing will add.

PS: If I make Filelists or use Quik Archive Packer from Razor and call output Data1.arc everything works fine. But not with the .bin files from Split/Compressor Tool.

Hello Altef,
Please check GID,
Seems like your installer doesn't support for a game which contain a huge of files. (Just my opinion)
I've created a lot of game using your installer and everthing perfect, but I see a problem when I create Valkyria Chronicles. Compile proses can finish wihout any problem. But when I try to install the game, it always crash at the end of installation proses. After it created shortcut at desktop, then crash. So I have to stop it from task manager.
The game finish install, evething has installed completely. But cannot create uninstaller

Fyi : Valkyria contain more then 5000 files. I've tried to compare with other game which is never have a lot of files like this game. That's why I though maybe because of it.
I've tried to create from beginning with win 7, 8 & 8.1 and the result is same, crash at the end when trying to create uninstaller

probably, installer crashes when he makes a list of files and folders for deinstallation, thanks for info, unfortunately, now i can't fix this problem, but i will fix it when i have more free time.
P.S. you can try to use internal compression, there is no custom filelist creation.

Funny thing, I can't open Projects from v.1.6 (not from v1.5 or 1.6). Either the Designer does give me no feedback or get an Error. Anyway today I make a Conversion of AC Brotherhood and all works fine. Would be cool if anyone can tell me why it works now but not yesterday.

After you have Design your Installer, Save your work!
Then click Export, Then Import the Exported File again. Now your on the Compile Window,click Compile, choose your Output Directory, then your Gamefolder to Compress.

-now it's standalone(works without layered.dll, few things was taken from layered 0.1 source [DC]);
-added four text styles: NONE-simple text without effects; SHADOW-text with shadow; OUTLINE-text with 1-3 pixel outline;GLOW-text with glow effect;
-added support of custom fonts (fonts what not installed on system), can be loaded from file or memory;
-optimization of memory usage;
-and few new things in plans.

Copy the Skins Folder in GID Folder, then go to Options and choose the Skin you want. You can find the Option under Language.

Seems to be a bug, I got that too. Little fix, open your saved Project direct with GID.exe. Maby you will have the Error again but you can start a new Project. If you turn the Graphic sliders on its all there again, but you have to set the Button Positions and some other things new.

I can not understand where I set the path the folder and the program will compress. On the first page I have not found that means {app} and {src}. What can stand in place of these variables. -So What is necessary to create the folder and copy the compressed files? or how?
And no one can give a concrete example of filling all link to one page, where again there Conk.

You can use the program only external compression? Or when I want to use an external compression, I did have to use the inside? Because I put everything and he can not find a directory folder, I should squeeze.

Again. For Internal Compression:
Design your Stuff. Go to Compression Tab, Internal=yes, Choose your Compression type.
Save the Project(!), click Export, then Import and Import the xxxx.db file you have Export before.
now your on compression page. Do all steps the Converter wanted from you (select game and output folder) compile.

External Compression:
Design your Stuff. Go to Compression Tab, External=yes. Add your Data.arc file(s), set
Input: {src}\yourarchive.arc
Output: {app}
extract pcf,jpg recompression sliders=yes
delete input=no
IMPORTANT for correct Installing is to set the percent of total correct!
Ex: 1Data.arc=100%, 2xData.arc=50%, 3xData.arc=33% a.s.o. Don't forget to set the Disk number right!
If you don't do this correct the Installer crashes or Slideshow runs like hell (3 pics in one second)
Save the Project(!), click Export, then Import and Import the xxxx.db file you have Export before.
select Output for setup.exe and data.db. Do this next to your external compress files. Install your game!

Sounds harder than it is:) but it's no Problem.

PS: Freearc+Precomp is NOT working! Only all Freearc types (tested -m0 till -m8) and Freearc+LZMA+Srep. UltraArc is NOT Compatible!!!

Thank you, but it is impossible. I can not understand how the program should identify a directory folder to compress the files in it. In the picture you can see that the program is not created Data.arc . When compiling the files are not packaged as can not find the directory.

Program can't compress files itself (only if used internal compression), you must create archives, before you can use it.

Altef_4 спасибо, что мне подсказали. Но куда мне потом скидывать Data.arc чтобы программа определила наличие файла? Программа на картинке поможет мне сжать файлы? В ней нет сжатие с помощью FreArc вроде, есть метод: SREP with LZMA compression он мне подойдет?( все заработает?) Или же использовать этот метод:MSC and SREP with LZMA compression ?

Я бы хотел сжать файлы методом MSC and FreeArc+LZMA+SREP но такого в программе нет метода.
Можно ли иначе через bat-ники , ну чтобы просто переносить на него папку и он начнет сжимать все в той последовательно которую я написал ?

Altef_4 thanks. But where do I then copied Data.arc program to determine the file? The program will help me in the picture compress files? It does not compress using FreArc like, there is a method: SREP with LZMA compression it suits me? (It will work?) Or use this method: MSC and SREP with LZMA compression?

I would like to compress files by MSC and FreeArc + LZMA + SREP but this program is not a method.
Can I somehow through the bat-nicks, well, just to carry on his folder, and it will begin to compress all in the series that I wrote?

If you think you can do an External Compression with GID like a Internal, then you understand something wrong.
You need to Compress the Game folder Extern with a Compress.bat (like in PeterF Conversions. Or you use the Compressor that I use (from Razor12911) to find in the most GID Conversions from me.
Of course you have to edit .lst files or list.txt files and Converter.ini/.bat file for your Game.

I like the software. It's nice that I can Repack my own games without any knowledge of scriptinv needed. Though, I feel the Interface editing is a bit too linear. Here are my suggestions: would be nice if we could enable/disable some of the windows like the "Autorun", "Installer", "Small Installer", etc. Then there is the buttons, its nice that I can set the colour and transparency on them, though, I feel the need for a Delete function to remove buttons, edit their function and the label (text on button). Otherwise, to make the text different I need to use a texture/image to replace it (haven't tried it yet, so I don't know if it would replace the text that way). And finally, there is one bug on 1.6 that I found to be quite annoying: I save my project regularly as I progress with it, but I've found that there comes a bug that it doesn't save correctly (click on save-> choose destination-> usally it give a progress bar of saving), it just imedialty says its done saving. Then GID stops responding and I need to force close GID.exe. When I open it up again and try to load my project, it gives me an error "Out of Memory".

But hey, I can't to hear from you about what you think of my suggestions. Looking forward to new updates.
Thanks for the software.
