Battlefield Hardline 9XDVD5
Thanks to Yener for script, Razor12911 for modifications

1. Install the game. Update game to latest version, apply NO-CD if necessary.

2. Download attachment, extract to HD, NOT in Gamefolder.

3. Run UltraARC, Browse/Select Your installed game, then choose output location.

4. Test the conversion, before burning ISO.

5. Then burn folder contents to DVDs with same folder name.


DVD1-4.37GB

DVD8-4.37GB
DVD9-676MB

IF using DVD5 then:
First Volume size = 4460
Custom Volume Size = 4480
Threshold Percent = 30

IF using DVD9 then:
First Volume size = 7930
Custom Volume Size = 7950
Threshold Percent = 30

You can go to Win32\Loc & remove all languages not needed, save about 10GB
& reduces to 7DVD5

9dvds? This is silly. Can you get DVD9 conversion please?

[prudislav]

might be 7 if you remove the additional voiced languages (iirc there is 12gig of voiceovers)

[The_Killer]

I take a question, you guys abandoned the previous conversion of method and why? Because with this new method we need a good free space to install the game, as he unpacks first to the Temp folder and then install the game, and already the old method the game was installed directly from ISO images without the need of predicted unpacking.

[brazilia]

Is there a way to save time durirng conversion? I spent ~1hr just for the 1st data.cab.
pakrat2k2 can you remove the compresion? Its ok it will fit on more dvds.

My rig:
CPU: i5-4460 @ 3.2 Ghz
GPU: GTX 970 @ 4GB DDR 5
RAM: 8 GB DDR
SSD: 240 GB

[prudislav]

brazilia: just delete the words in method in ultraarc ini
The_Killer: Just set some threshold lower to something like 11(for DVD5s if you rip other VOs) and disable splitting

Then looks if I understand correctly, if I choose ThresholdPercent = 11 or lower will prevent decompression in the Temp folder and will install directly from the ISO image? How do I disable the division? Sorry because I'm not very good at conversions, it is that the first conversions friends used the INNO SETUP COMPILER or .bat file and had no need to have hard disk space for unpacking. I hope I was good explanatory ok. :):confused:

Look to bottom of first post for DVD9 info. You just edit UltraARC.ini BEFORE
starting conversion to set it for DVD9's. Just like ANY conversion that uses UltraARC now, you don't want dvd5 then change the ini to match.

THX pakrat2k2
for one language
Method=srep,exe,exe2,delta,lzma = 6DVD5

[Smurf Stomper]

is it possible to remove the multiplayer files? Assuming we can figure out which .cas files they are of the 32 installed...

yes as well as the language files too.

[Smurf Stomper]

sweet. Which ones are they then?

Just set the threshold to 1 if you don't want setup to use a lot of space in temp, the new method of making conversions was made because games like far cry 4 have very big files that do not fit in a dvd5, that's why somethings get splitted, so that they can fit your media, the other thing that we try to avoid in setting a threshold low is many archives will be created, imagine 200 archives in your first dvd, the other disadvantage of setting low threshold the output is bigger if compression is applied, bat and ultraarc, just do the same thing only difference is that bat gives conversion makers a headache making file lists and etc. Trust me, this is the best method, bats leave space in other DVDs, you get DVD1 = 4.02GB, DVD2 =3.89GB, DVD3 = 3.67GB. Ultraarc fills in those spaces making every disc equal DVD1-6 = 4.37GB, This prevents you from using many DVDs when burning.

removed extra language and result is 4DVD9

UltraARC issues with some files coz of the known bug with accents
Battlefield Hardline\Support\EA Help\Servicio técnico.rtf

skipped, not important files and they wont affect the game, but still skipped.

change to 7zip compression freearc doesn't support those characters
( message from Razor12911, about those characters )

Yeah, I remember now he said something like that some time ago... would be nice if there was somekind of workaround, like renaming the files to non-special characters, compress them and get them renamed back once they are extracted. I guess the same records.ini could be used during list generation and installation

[Razor12911]

Yea, Wonder why didn't I think of that... Too bad, I no longer have the source for UltraARC.

Crap, that's not good... too bad you don't have them anymore

[reiji777]

which files should I delete to have english version only?

[pakrat2k2]

its not know what cas files are what, so to have English only install the English version of the game to have English only. Still trying to figure out which files are which to reduce the final size of conversion, maybe remove MP files if it can be determined which ones they are.

[steve_gerry]

is this use compression or not ?

[pakrat2k2]

is this use compression or not ?

Ultraarc.ini would have answered that for you.

Method=srep,exe,exe2,delta,lzma

[pakrat2k2]

no use whats provided or try & make one youself.

[Smurf Stomper]

yea, if we can somehow figure out which .cas files are MP only I'd imagine the space savings would be huge.

Did anyone manage to make such a determination in previous battlefield games that used the .cas file system?

Uncompressed MP-only content is 2.5 GB, compressed -~ 1.8 GB
I've decided not to excluded it, risking game bugs. also Google bf4dumper, python script. Then it takes manual analyzing of extracted files.

Way too much work to save ~700MB & dont know if NOT having those files present will cause ingame bugs to appear.

[Smurf Stomper]

thanks for the info. I thought the MP files would be much larger...

[pakrat2k2]

You can goto Win32\Loc & remove all languages files except the one you want to use, save about 10GB

Hello, very good post and I put the game on DVD.
But I have a question ...
As I can do to make the stay data.cab:

data1.cab = 8000mb
data2.cab = 8000mb

or data1a.cab = 4000MB, data1b.cab = 4000MB, 4000MB ... then data2a.cab.

So when I put on DVD9 disk and change requests asking me the right (as although it is part of the game but with different numbers are) not if I explain well ???

Thanks for the post and thanks for this response.
Greetings from a Uruguayan.

See the first post for DVD9 settings.
