It's because AutorunScript is compiled.. If u don't need Autorun.exe just delete it.. Autorun page will run from Setup.exe
And AutorunScript is present from CIU 3.0.0.0.u9...

Unless Components/tasks/Redists exceeds the textstage height, it is not necessary...

@mausschieber
Complementing: Even if the items of the Components/Tasks/Launcher exceed the available space, if you do not include the images of the scroll bars, a default scroll bar based on the theme of the skin file Carbon.vsf will be included (For the lazy ones you do not need to create scrollbar images:D:D:D).

I have added a fix for UltraArc/DiskSpan which fixes a problem with UELR precompressor (I/O was wrong).

how can i enable the oddle compressor with the COMPRESSOR_GUI.exe

Prettyboy099

64BitOnly option must be activated in Setup.ini...

Code:

CIU 3.0.0.1.b7 (Beta7)

2 Attachment(s)

I am sharing CIU v3.0.0.1.b7:eek: here so that more users can test and report the bugs found.

- Use DiskSpan or UltraArc from the "UltraArc 2900 R8" folder that is included in the source code to compress the game.
- The "Equalizer Tool" does not yet have all the updated Equalizer functionality, so some keys like StopOnSelect=, ShowLastState= must be manually configured in the "Setup.ini" file.
- Several keys and also some sections have had their names changed, and some keys have also been removed, so it is recommended to read the changelog:confused:.

Added hotifix 3 for beta 7.
Replace all files in source code beta 7 and delete scripts with an earlier date.

Code:

Hotifix 3:

- Fixed ISPP error during the creation of the internal ISPP INI file from Setup.ini.

- Fixed reading of parameter keys when installing 32Exe= key items from the [Launch#] sections.

  >> This error was usually visible as an invalid parameter error when installing DirectX.

- Removed AddGameExplorer function when the detected system is Windows 10.

  >> The AddGameExplorer function still remains for previous versions of Windows that support GameUx.



Hotifix 2

- Fixed section when moving the mouse on the Button Labels using italic fonts.

- Fixed and also changed to the internal RequestDisk mode of the Cls-DiskSpan.dll library. 

  >> To try to avoid most errors when requesting next disk.

- Fixed phantom buttons (Clone of visible button labels) in the upper left corner of the installer (All pages).

  >> This error is only visible if you disable the button label shadows, so it creates a phantom click region with the same size as the visible button label.



Hotifix 1

- Fixed an error in the creation of the optional buttons to always create when there is a key Visible= or Left= in the section corresponding to the button.

- Fixed to slightly reduce lag when changing languages when using complex design installers and only using an autorun image.

- Fixed an error that previously displayed multiple hint balloons with the language name when moving the mouse over the flags.

  >> At each language change, another balloon was created for the selected language, with several balloons overlapping.

  >> This was only visible when enabling the key BalloonTip= of the [LangBox] section

- Fixed the correct positioning of labels aligned to the right, such as FreeSpaceLabel, RemaingTimeLabel in Installer/SmallInstaller and others labels.

  >> Positioning was also fixed when using Alignment=right in the [TextStage] section.

so first, i want to compress game that has big size like Sims 4(49 GB)

so which compressor is better, Diskpan or UltraArc ?

If diskpan, which one because it has 2 type so which one ?
thank you :)

Do you have disk space on the disk partition on DiskSpan.bat?
It looks like an insufficient space error.

I don't know if this command has the same compression factor...
But looking in the DiskSpan_xx.ini file, it is the closest supported method
I think KaktoR can give you a better answer.

Code:

xzlib+srep:m3f+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000

I use my hard disk which still has 359Gb of free space to compress and i put diskpan file in my hard disk.

what do u mean by 'Diskspan_XX.ini', i didn't fint that file at all.

'mask method' :eek: ? how do i know that im using mask or not ? :confused:

last but not least, do you know why do i get this error ?

KaktoR

31-08-2020 07:00

Mask is only aviable for UltraArc, not diskspan.

Try this method

Code:

xZLib+srep+LZMA-MT

This method was used by me (I only write the full command because not every compressor knows xZLib or LZMA-MT).

PS: And exclude both Qt4WebKit dll files, because you will get crc error on installing.

CIU 3.0.0.1.b7 (Beta7) - Hotfix 3

1 Attachment(s)

Added hotfix 3 to beta 7 in #post.

New DiskSpan BAT
I attached a new DiskSpan BAT file with some additional settings for use with the DUAL installer.
The new settings are:

set INSTALLERTYPE=STEAM,GOG,UWP
set ISCIU3001=TRUE

- The ISCIU3001 setting is for you to use with CIU 3.0.0.0.u9 just by setting the value FALSE
- The definition of the variable INSTALLERTYPE supports combinations STEAM, GOG, UWP separated by commas, or just one of them if you prefer.
It is possible to use 2 bat one for each type like "_DiskSpan_STEAM.bat" and "_DiskSpan_GOG.bat" just by defining the type for each one.
If you have more than one type of options, the user will be offered the option to choose.
For normal installers just disable this INSTALLERTYPE line using "::" or "rem" (without quotes) at the beginning of the line.
With these settings, the bat file automatically creates the settings highlighted in the image below.

KaktoR

03-09-2020 08:10

Do you have x86 OS? I ask because I think srep have a input limitation on x86 systems.

PS: Do you have edited "DiskSpan_x86/x64.ini" by chance? I ask because it seems that your srep is using <stdin> instead of freearc-temp-input.

You have tried other, simpler methods just to see if errors also occur?
I mean using one of the methods from 1 to 5 for example.
Or just test putting in custom method [21] and put "srep" (without quotes).

The link method you are trying to use must be from an older zstd.
It also displays this error here because the parameters are not supported.
Perhaps the parameter has changed in newer versions of zstd, or used zstd from another developer before.
The maximum supported compression value is 19 (not 22) and "-ultra" (not "ultra").

ohh so thats how it gets error

Quote:

Try it like this, here it is compressing using this method in Custom method option [21]:

Code:

srep:m5f:a2+zstd:-ultra:19

https://i.imgur.com/XG3yUnR.png

ok i'll try right now.

and another question, What is the difference between DVD and BD?
is there a memory difference?
is BD better than DVD?

KaktoR

03-09-2020 20:46

BD is blueray disc, it has much more space then a dvd but cost per disc is relatively high and you need a special disc drive to burn such discs.

adammail14

04-09-2020 00:10

ok, this is what I got after trying several times to compress.
-for information, local disk C and local disk D are laptop hard disks
-local disk F is a hard disk connected via USB

https://i.imgur.com/KAiCJiL.jpg

-what do I know, if I drag the folder 'UltraARC 2900 R8' to the local disk F, and I compress the game (watch dog - 16.9GB) it will get an error as in this picture

https://i.imgur.com/4V5J7QX.jpg

-but if I drag the folder 'UltraARC 2900 R8' to local disk D, it runs smoothly which is really great
- but when i try to do the same thing with sims 4 - 49GB, it will say full space. in this link says that 'Make sure you have enough Free space. For each game you must have Double Space free.

-Example: the Game is 90 GB you must Have 180 GB free space.'

-so basically, sims 4 which is 49 + 49 = 98GB and my local disk D has 138GB so why does it not compress completely?
-and why i cant compress it in local disk F(my hard disk) ?

The 'Root Drive' in your case is either your C: or D: drive. This would be why it errors when you try from F: Drive.

Sims 4 obviously needs more space than double hence why it fails. I would say at a guess it would need around 150 GB free space on your drive. ;)

Read what Kaktor posted on post #2.
I also think that for certain compression methods a free space equivalent to 200% of the game's size is too little.
I believe that in certain cases it will use up to 400% (P.S. Game 50 GB = 200 GB free).
As for your hard drive (Partition F: \) being an external USB hard drive, it may have been partitioned using an unsupported partition method.
It may also be because your USB hard drive is not USB 3.0 or is connected to a USB 2.0 port on the PC.
I don't know if it supported recordings of only 30 Mb/s which is the maximum speed of a USB 2.0.
If you have time and it is possible (If you don't have O.S. installed), completely release the D:\ partition by moving everything to F:\ and then try to compress the same game inside the D:\ partition

Cesar82

Portable Hard Drive USB 3.0 vs USB 2.0

POSSIBLE REASON FOR ERRORS IN SREP

- I did a simple test here with random files (not from the game).
- I chose the "[21] Custom Method" option and used:

Code:

xzlib+srep:m3f+4x4:b64mb:lzma:ultra:64m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc1000000

Test 01:
- Hard Drive (500 GB) portable with USB 3.0 connector plugged into a USB 3.0 (USB without hub 3.0).
https://i.imgur.com/ozgmRMf.png

Test 02:
- Hard Drive (500 GB) portable with USB 3.0 connector plugged into a USB 2.0 (USB without hub 2.0).
https://i.imgur.com/LVa8UFw.png

@adammail14, if you are using a hard drive other than USB 3.0 (High Speed), or if you are connecting your portable hard drive that is USB 3.0 to a 2.0 connector on your PC, this could probably be the reason for the errors.

yeah i think that was the problem because i dont have connector 3.0 which is im gonna buy it next time:D

and it need a lot more space too. i transfer all my data in local disk D to F

okay now I have a job, I will continue for installer tomorrow, hope you guys can help me :)
