@isoo00

are you using internal compression?
because Kurutucu script not supporting internal compression anymore

can i add internal compression support ?

not if script doesn't support it, use something else.

@isoo00

Check here
Its support internal compression..but script is little bit different..but little bugs is also there

Hi everyone,
Sorry for my bad english.
I want to know what is the best command line to compress CoD Modern Warfare 3?
i used this -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 but ratio was of 95%

You need extract iwd files and decode mp3 and wav files for best compress. Don't forget recode video files with RADTools.

i don't want to edit game file. i want only to compress game.
With Payday 2 i compressed from 18 GB to 4 GB without to edit game file

"With Payday 2 i compressed from 18 GB to 4 GB without to edit game file"

But this doesn't mean that every game can be compressed as Payday 2.

Maybe the game files in CoD Modern Warfare 3 are already compressed.

Where in Payday 2 they were not.

so it can't be compressed more,right?

As I know, it can't.

Unless your rip multiplayer files, if you recode video to lower bitrate....

Just do it as 3 DVD5 - I think it can fit on 3 DVD5, right.

ok thanks

Hello everybody, I come here to thank first the "Kurutucu" for your excellent work, and all of you who helped me and had patience with me, a big hug to all of you!!


Sorry for my bad English.

First of all thank you (All the contributors) for all the efforts put in to make such a easy Look-alike Black box setup.

I have seen a bug. Every time i compile then Main.iss file, the Setup-1.bin file copied in the output folder gets deleted. Any help

@alley_u2

"Any help"

I think that you can't do anything about that.

Only way is to move *.bin files out of that folder.

So, just keep your .bin file somewhere, and Use output folder for setup.exe only.....

not a bug, re-read the steps.

it says to compile the script first, then create the setup-1.bin files

Thank you very much. It works.

But i have some questions:

• I would like to set, that vcredist will be installed based on Windows type.
  If user have 64 bit -> vcredist_x64.exe will be installed if user have 32 bit -> vcredist_x86.exe will be installed.
  
• Where i can edit DiskSpanning? I have game that have 13 GB.
  
• How can i set parameters for compression? (if this is possible)
  I would like to have best compression without edition .bik videos, cut off some languages etc.. [I am using Main (precomp.0.43)]
  
• Where can i find comparation of compressions types when i use this script = external compression? I would like to see how it will take to compress and how much CPU/RAM will be used. I know how to set parameters for internal compression but with this i do not know)

Thank you for help. Sorry for my spelling.

read entire thread, think was mentioned by someone else back around page 6-7

I need to create a bat file to compress file with this algorithm "arc -mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 " i.e. arc-precomp-srep-arc. Can anybody help

@alley_u2

Inside "Black_Box_Script_By_Kurutucu_V1.8.7z" should be Kurutucu compressor folder, and as I remember it contains just what you need.

I will, but it will take some time. :(

I tried using that. It worked very good with a small files like 80mb that i tried but when i tried to compress a 3GB File it gave me an error. So i was thinking downloading new precomp, srep and free arc components and use a bat file to pack it.

"If user have 64 bit -> vcredist_x64.exe will be installed if user have 32 bit -> vcredist_x86.exe will be installed."

Well, as I know on Windows X64 bit version you need both x86 and x64 version of vcredist.

I don't include any prerequisite because I have them all installed.

"Where i can edit DiskSpanning? I have game that have 13 GB.
How can i set parameters for compression? (if this is possible) "

If you are looking for disk spanning option then you are going to need script that supports internal compression.

And as I know BB scripts supports only external now (ANSI: STOPPED).

For internal compression you just read Inno documentation a little, and if you are using external compression, just download few conversions from other and read .bat file a little, all should be clear.

I think, but not sure, precomp 0.43 didn't worked for me, but not sure.

precomp 0.42 was enough + with use of kurutucu compressor.

"Where can i find comparation of compressions types when i use this script = external compression? I would like to see how it will take to compress and how much CPU/RAM will be used. I know how to set parameters for internal compression but with this i do not know)"

As I said, no internal anymore if I read it right.

Anyway, with external you should get better results.

No one can tell you how much CPU/RAM your PC is going to take.

It depends on your PC.


EDIT:

@alley_u2

What error, post screenshot of it.

OK so i will not use internal compression because BB does not support it and external is better.

But what i have to set, to get best compression and how to set which file will be precompressed, because only some file is good for precompression?

If i need both vcredist it should be in script. How can i edit it?

However i saw some test of Winrar and similar programs. And i only want to now, how much % of time it will take if i will use some compression. For example: Best compression will take about +50% more time than second best compression, but it will compress about X% more.

I am sorry for Newbie question. I have been using Inno Script Studio so far with some andvices from stackoverflow.com. So best for me are examples.
I do not want filling this thread with my questions so if somebody is willing to help me via PM. It will better than this.

Thank you.

I have posted the error

Tried using precomp 0.43 and compiling the setup with Main(precomp.0.43).iss. But the installer didn't work. It failed to extract the file and gave me a error saying "wrong precomp version" .

#Your files cannot compress with precomp. Use srep. Because your files don't have jpg, png, model etc. Precomp extracting and recompressing files. Maybe your files cannot be extracting. Try srep.

#For precomp0.43 use Main(precomp.0.43).iss!

I compressed files using precomp 0.43 and then used your Main(precomp.0.43).iss to build the setup file. While running the setup it gives me a error i.e. wrong precomp version. Can you help?

Edit:It worked. I had to copy manually precomp 0.43 and arc.ini files from the precomp version folder to the include folder.

Yeah. You forgot arc.ini ;)

Now Compressing with precomp 0.43 i didn't get the above error. Anyways Kurutucu keep continuing your good work.

I was thinking about adding a system page which will display CPU ram and other system information. Anybody can guide me for a tutorial.

while compile it gives me error, see attach file
i don't know to type anything, i'm a newbie. plz help me!!!

Use the unicode version of the setup

Thank you, i got it.
But can u show me order of compression?
the first is freearc => precomp => screp? i use script kurutucu v1.8.
I will create file.bin by how?

Use Kurutucu Compressor present in the zip file. Just edit the Compress.bat file to the location of your folder and it will automatically compress the file for you as the script requires.

now i want to compress a game about 900mb.
what do i have to edit to the highest compress?
Having some file audio and video in folder game.Do u know software to compress them? Sorry for asking u too much :)

It is already at the highest settings. ;)
