If I compress few parts of a game with Srep only and rest with Srep and Precomp,then how to use ISDONE[i.e; srep for one files and srep+precomp for other] ?

@compiler
leave it as is, the arc.ini will solve your little problem.

Hello,
I have an issue with ISDone, let's say i have 2 arc archives
one to unpack to {app}\ and the second to {userdocs}\
When i uninstall the game it will remove the {app}\ data and leaves the docs.

Is there a solution so the files that copied to docs folder gets removed too?

hmm, try deltree, but it's doesn't make sense.

all files that are not copied to {pf} folder are not registered in the uninstall script, how to register them?

ask altef_4, he knows this. he did it with a filelist thingy.
but this is how you set it up.
DelTree(ExpandConstant('{userdocs}\Criterion Games'), True, True, True);

or something like this, now listen, I have a feeling that it's not a good idea of using deltree, so best to ask him.

hehe, will wait a little bit before PMing him, he might see it and reply.

Hi,
I have some points please :

1- what is the dif. between CI_Converted_To_CIU and CI 8.5.7.4 and CIU 1.0.0.6
in source projects ?

................

2-what is the best best command in Free arc for the highest compression ratio ?

................

3-How to compress videos and audio of games ?


................

4- What is the GDFBinary=GDF.dll


What is that ?

................

5 -


This is means when the setup finished these programs will launched right ?
How to attach these programs ? + How to add more programs like that ?
I mean especially in these lines :

................

6-How to less the files In the result

I mean when I get finished from all setting and compressing..etc
What should I do ?

1 - CI is a custom installer created by yener90, CIU is the advanced custom installer created by yener90, CI Conv CIU is CI Converted to CIU

2 - it depends on the files you are compressing.

3 - rather use srep compression or resample them

4 - gdf is the game binary, it shows and adds details of a the game in the registries and game explorer, gdf maker makes gmae binaries.

5 - it's the tasks the installer/setup should do.

6 - final files are autorun/setup.dll, setup.ini, setup.exe and setup.cab but you can use internal to make it autorun/setup.dll and setup.exe

THANK YOU VERY MUCH :D


How ? Can you explain more with examples of games sizes and types please ?


Is this important to use it when I repack a game ?

Yeeeeees HOW ? compile using innoscript ? or ?

I am having problems using the CIU, I do not understand why when I switch from CI to CIU do not have the command line as Instal or play. Can you help me?

@3rabGamers

2 -Repack teams and conversion makers use various softwares to bring down the game file sizes, the delete unwanted languages to make the game even smaller and they resample sounds and video.

To compress files, you need the best compressor, nanozip is the best but kinda difficult to use therefore use the second best, freearc.

Freearc involves a variety of external compressors like precomp, srep, tak and etc just find out what they do and how the work.

Now to compress a game, you need to check first what you are compressing. else it will be waste of time and resources, if you are compressing videos, sounds and already compressed files like fifa files (.big files), you'll hardly notice the difference therefore, if you are compressing something that can easily deflate, the results will be outstanding.

5 - hmm, It is and it's not, your choice.

6 - Read the tutorials in yener90 thread.

@huavancuong098

be specific, I don't get it.

the problem is not with the button as play or instal or exit. When I used to perform CI desgin autorun file but the button is there, but when it comes to CIU, it is no longer the button anymore. Can you help me?

that has happened to my installer when I down clocked my processor to 933mhz and rams to 300mhz, else if your pc is faster than that check the setup.ini because I think they are not the same compared from CI to CIU

So can you help me how to create one setup file is not the same as you. I am having problems in creating one piece setup like yener90 not. Because I saw the set of his very beautiful!

like create a script from scratch?

Yes, I want to make one like him installer, how do I get the button out of him as being like that?

yeeees
Do you have any idea what these softwares and how they are working ?

all I Know is bink ?

hmm, me too, some use scarface explorer.

niiiiiiiiiice Know I have deleted none english lang. in audio
It reduces about 500 MB that is nice

I'm working now with bink ?

1- Have you any more ideas ? :D

2- With ARC I have used this command :

This is good or you have better?

Thank you very very much...+ if you can provide me with your facebook acc that will faster..I will not waste your time ^^

How use precomp 0.4.3 and what is the precomp+srep+lzma method?

it's the same as 042 just change the arc.ini "-c-" to "-cn"

What version unarc.dll for precomp 0.43?

Can you teach me how to use the CIU is not installed. When I use only CI jpg use only. When converting to CIU is not used!

is there any way to create portable version of games or applications by using innosetup?

@red01
anything is possible in inno setup.

Good to hear that.
Can you please tell me how to make any application or game portable by using innosetup..?

I will be thankful to you.

Hello,

I have a single 10 G.B file that i want to split to 3XDVD5 via arc+inno

How to split it?

i think freearc doesn't support file split function..

Yes it does not, it looks i will end up using some command line split/merge tool but how :/

He can do it just with Inno...

Sure, that's why i mentioned arc+inno.

Yeah but you can't do it with arc+inno... You can do it with only with inno because arc does not support splitting the archives.

If you don't have anything specific, use Inno's wizzard.
Set DiskSpanning=true and set SlicesPerDisk as you see it fit.

I need the srep+arc compression ratio, lzma alone is not enough.

Portable in what way?

It's not possible with freearc but I can show you a way to do it.

So if you are planning on fitting the 10gb file, this is what you should do. I will implement this on my source.

First, take the 10GB File, use 7zip/winrar to split files to maybe 4gb(if you want to put it in DVD5) then use freearc no compression on each split. maybe Data1.cab, Data2.cab and etc.

to extract do this

Use ISDone to extract the files

Extract Data1.cab, Data2cab and etc to app folder

Use Normal 7zip unpacking for the splits, isdone doesn't supported splitted files.

then back to isdone to extract the 10gb file,

Don't forget to delete them :D

[QUOTE=Razor12911;419306]Portable in what way?



i mean to say..I DONT HAVE TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM OR GAME IN PROGRAM FILES.......Just extract it and we are done to use software/game.

@Razor, this is so complicated.
I'm thinking of 2 processes max to get the file extracted.

I think you can certify Inno Setup as Portable, I mean, all it does is extracts Files.

It's quite easy.

FWRadioButton1 := TNewRadioButton.Create(WizardForm);
with FWRadioButton1 do
begin
Parent := WizardForm;
Tag := 1;
Left := ScaleX(400);
Top := ScaleY(130);
Width := ScaleX(300);
Height := ScaleY(25);
Caption := ExpandConstant('run..');
Checked := True;
Font.Style := [fsBold];
Font.transparent:=true
OnClick := @RadioButtonsOnClick;
end;


how do i transparent the captions? :confused:

Edit
never mind solved another way :p

Inno setup help disk space
Friends disk size and space available to install is the same when you switch to install on another HD how to fix it
If possible also how to put the point size ex: 149 Gb to 149.50 Gb
Ex: script my script is in two parts.
