I changed it (overwrote it) and redo Compiling but didnt change, interesting.

Btw, are we doing something extra for videos ? I put the avi file in necessary place than started setup, it passed to backgrounds, if there's any button to start the video, i couldnt see it

hmm setup couldnt install codec which is required therefore switched to backgrounds...

you need to compile langscript.iss

compiled it, i have dll.exe and setup.exe in the end

Launch autorun_renamer.bat...dont know exactly the name...then it should work fine.

Hi yener90 great source any help with precomp and srep does not work with beta just give a error when it get to that cab or arc file.

mikey26 precomp + srep works fine in beta release, just be sure to set proper precomp version in setup.ini i.e.

Syndicate.iss

The problem is been solved just deleted a couple of lines in the [Languages] and [CustomMessages] sector and after it installed correctly,but I have got another one:The timer tickts not correctly in the progressbar,this is too high for me,I can't solve it,please help me somebody! If somebody could correct me the scrip.file,I would very appreciate that.

Syndicate.iss

I have only one arc.file to extract (called:1.arc),(size:5 493 394 KB)

is made ​​so true decompresses files
FreeArc-m0
precomp
SREP
FreeArc.maximum

Edit the Ini file: add this(this is a example below)

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1 = {src} \ Data1.bin; DestDir: {app}; Disk: 1; PrecSrep:1
FreeArcFile1 = {src} \ Data2.bin; DestDir: {app}; Disk: 1; PrecSrep:1

Also specify the version of precomp used: eg: PrecompVer=0.42


The script u looking at is for Peter's script and his bat files a bit different from yeners Script.

which lupett077 has been told 100's of times already, you CANNOT use peter's method of compression ( freearc commandlline ) with Yener's CI 8 !!!

He repeatedly ask the same thing over & over again... in multiple threads.

The issue is you have no define records.inf ( which is used once script is compiled once without it enabled ) sets the progress bar length to correct dimensions dependant on number of archives / files. Then you enable it so that the progressbar displays properly. But using a script from the internet without understanding what it does, makes it very hard to 'fix' any issues with it. Best off to use one of the conversions listed in game index on the forum here as they work 100%.

Please, report the useless/annoying posts and they will be removed.

Sorry guys but I tried this method to compress

FreeArc-m0
precomp-intensive
SREP
FreeArc fast

but when I go to installae takes more than 15 minutes for a single compressed archive.

Can you advise me how to compress enough, but then when I go to unzip it takes less?

@lupetto77 i have no idea what else to tell you guys( Bamse :-) ) have explained in depth on how this works.my advice is start at page 1 and read and read and read until all this make sense.practice to create a few installer fail at it and try agian until u get it right only way to learn mate.

lupetto77 it's perfectly normal and you can't speed it up because this file is compressed three times. Especially unprecomping takes a lot of time. My Max Payne 3 has near 7GB of srepped and precomped archives and it needs above 2 hours to install :-)

Give me files GDF.dll and GDF2.dll

You can get these files supplied with your game or you can create them yourself.
either way they are not that important. it's used only to add the game to Game Explorer and if CI doesn't find them it skips them completely

Ive got today time to improve CI.
Targets:
-> Option to show fullscreen background images
-> Music button is editable through Setup.cab
-> integrate command line decompression to CI!!!! :mad:

any other points are welcome :D

Hi yener90's. when installer is running can u add in what files are beening installed with percentages.great CI BTW

this stupid command line makes me really upset....
MY INSTALLER WILL NEVER SUPPORT IT.
I give up. If someone manages respect to him.

mikey26
on progressbar it will not work
-> i will add it to the title.

Yener90 please do not forget about the PM's i've send it to you: (the third icon on desktop and in start menu) and dual line text in autorun.

RESPECT for your work.

Hi yener,

''Can you give different button length and width for autorun, is it possible ? I need Install button bigger than cancel and quit.
it works already in Beta...
just set Button2width Button2Height button3width etc''

FYI, i tried to change them in Autorun.exe but your advice didnt work in BETA version.

Cheers.

yener90 I experienced "out of memory" problem while installing from "PrecSrep" archives. My Max Payne 3 conversion contains 6 of these archives (approx. 1.2GB cab, 3.3GB srep, 7.2GB pcf, 3.5GB arc) and while installer tries to unarc 5th one (compressed one, not -m0) ISDone.dll gives me an error, that unarc.dll reports out of memory (probably code 5 - I must check it once again). Occupied memory grows during installation approx. 300MB with every next cab and at point of error it occupies 1.7GB of RAM (4GB installed in system) and this is all it declares to system (checked in resource manager).

Why installer can't free some memory used to extract previous cabs?

If you don't understand what I'm saying about, please wait to Monday and I'll post some screens :D

i understand exactly what you mean :D
problem solvation is the biggest deal here :confused:
so far i know freeing memory is not supported by Inno Setup ifself.
i will look into isDone.

REV0
it worked fine for me.
i did some updates some time ago, cant remember...maybe im using different version than the one here in thread :p

bad news...i dont have any more time for this project.
seems to be that this project can be paused from my side 8 - 12 months.

at least can you upload your beta's beta version :p

And about hypersonic backgrounds, it's happening after 10th image, confirmed

ok last update for a long time:
UPDATE 8.4
- added fullscreen mode for installer background images
-> ShowBGFullscreen=1 option in InterfaceSettings
- added third game icon
-> enabling -> same method like enabling secondbutton, but instead of 2's 3's
- updated translations
- music button is editable
- possibility to switch off autorun music
-> if you want to have music in autorun, put music.mp3 to the main folder of Setup.cab
-> if you dont want to have music in autorun, only in installer, put music.mp3 to the Setup folder of Setup.cab

Little info for button resizing in Autorun:
unfortunately ExitLeft etc you get confusing
ButtonWidth/Height/label etc = Play Button
Button2Width/Height/label etc = Play2 Button
Button5Width/Height/label etc = Play3 Button
Button3Width/Height/label etc = Un/-install Button
Button4Width/Height/label etc = Exit Button
But left and top options are stayed like before.
ExitLeft/ExitTop is for setting them.

- used REV0's Prototype2 Theme as example in script.

UPDATE 8.4

It says always :
Trojan.Gen.2
C:\users\....\appdata\local\temp\is-k1l82.tmp\precomp042.exe
Why???? Is it infected or what?

False error ignore it.

PS: Thanks for the last update yener, hope see you soon again, cheers friend

I have one wish...support to mix of precomp version :
exaple :
Data.arc packs great with 038 but when you try it with 042 precomp crashes or other error
Data-1.arc packs great with 042 but doent's pack with 038 crashes etc.
That gonna be nice when you can use diffrent versions of precomp in setup.ini you must only type one version of precomp
PrecompVer=0.42,038" doesn't work this trick ,its sad we can only pack ur games with only one version of precomp what not always work :(

Before you report (possible) virus infections, check them on virustotal.com!

why use an earlier version of a program? Its updated to fix some bug thats come up, or add new features. Also dont forget that there are some filetypes that always crash on precomp, and you just use srep on them rather then precomp+srep. ( see some of peter's conversions that use freearc commandline, and because of some of the files within game he's used precomp and other files he's used srep ) always test, test, test. Thats why making these conversions takes ages, along with the fact that everytime a conversions posted someone wants a different format. IF its a 2x someone wants it 1x, viceversa.

Persian_Translation_Error
 

hi dear yener90 & Thanks for great work ...

I used the latest version [ UPDATE 8.4 ] for repacking a game with two languages : English & Persian ...

when installing game with English Language everything goes fine & there is no bug ... but when using the Persian Language by clicking on Iran flag , i face with a strange error message at the END of setup program ... but games installs in a successful manner ... [ only showing the error but setup process is ok ]

i attached the error screenshot ... please take a look & give me a solution ...

the Persian text in dialog says : " unable to execute specified code " or something similar ...

thanks again for your great work !

This is a typical error message (you also get it on the command line) if you try to do something with a file/directory that does not exist. (Yes, stupid, meaningless error message that doesn't help with finding out the reason. Typical M$...)

@amin fear
fixeed :D

8.4.1 Update

Thanks for the update yener! I will try!

thanks yener90 for this new version!!


PS: Please correct the name of the uninstaller "Deinstall" in Portuguese and Portuguese Brazil is the correct "Desinstalar" ...
