What do you think?;):D:D;)

Hey PrinceGupta & kenzo ! How to solve the unarc.dll problem :(

hi! try with the changes I made
name your archive: data1.bin
here is the script

Thanks for that !
But how to modify script to change the password for bin files :confused:
1) I mean what should be the default password for bin files to extract by setup ?
I think its "password" ? yes or not ?
if yes then how to made changes in script to extract archive having different password Becoz SETUP shows incorrect password of bin files :confused:
2) And What to do if i have Many bin files :confused:

look for the following lines in your script and change what you want:

if not MaskedExt(100,ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'),Ex pandConstant('{app}'),'Yourpassword') then break;
// if not MaskedExt(50,ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'),Exp andConstant('{app}'),'YourPassword') then break;
// if not MaskedExt(25,ExpandConstant('{src}\Data2.bin'),Exp andConstant('{app}'),'YourPassword') then break;
// if not MaskedExt(25,ExpandConstant('{src}\Data3.bin'),Exp andConstant('{app}'),'YourPassword') then break;


for example if you want 2 bin file the script will be:

if not MaskedExt(50,ExpandConstant('{src}\Data1.bin'),Exp andConstant('{app}'),'Yourpassword') then break;
if not MaskedExt(50,ExpandConstant('{src}\Data2.bin'),Exp andConstant('{app}'),'YourPassword') then break;
// if not MaskedExt(25,ExpandConstant('{src}\Data2.bin'),Exp andConstant('{app}'),'YourPassword') then break;
// if not MaskedExt(25,ExpandConstant('{src}\Data3.bin'),Exp andConstant('{app}'),'YourPassword') then break;

Attachment 15214if you want the installer requires no password.
you must remove your compressor the area surrounded by red.
to customize your password change in this same area
example: -hp -p%your chosen password here%
or try bat without password in the link

@kenzo Thanks Buddy !
Now thats the solution :)
BTW I will stick to pics method :D

high time i threw an update here ?? :D

or not ??

hello everyone

Update it to try Mad Max

http://www.fileforums.com/showpost.p...7&postcount=27

hey matey, long time no see, and there no updates to masked ;P waiting for your updates

its not the masks that yield problems its tools that arent updated,

precomp refuses to see headerless zlib streams and mad max has them.

you need to use brute force for that to happen :D


Hello Amsal

Hello panker1992.
Your update will be welcome.
nice to see you on your post

Hi, sorry to do a useless post for many of you but i'm a little confused by so many corrections and fixes that were posted along in this thread :)

Dunno where in this thread, at some point somebody posted a compressor using this string:

ultral3 = msc_frog+srep+delta+lz77:d800m:fb=273:mf=bt4:mc=10 00000:lc=4:lp=0/$void=srep+zstd/$deflate=reflate+srep+delta+lz77:d800m:fb=273:mf=b t4:mc=1000000:lc=4:lp=0

It went all well, but i could not unpack it because of some msc_frog error.
Also couldn't see which installer package would have worked with that algorithm, noone works from the ones i tested :(

And then i downloaded from the first post the archive v2.5, but my question is which one is the more updated (first post, or page X for example)?
How many installer scripts are made to support this compression methods?

Thank you Panker1992, you sure made it simple, and i'm eager to start doing my backups :D



P.S.: I'm beginning this journey to pack games in italian like my steam drm free games to have a backup which doesn't involve any drm...
I also extracted and understood the inner working of many repacking releases like c***x, c**epacks, fitg*** (these are the most complex, and the ones that makes sense among all, i was impressed by bedlam redux release that involved some custom made executables). I'm a first timer, learning for personal scopes, i wish i had some knowledge to share but you all know it better than me :)

Don't take names of warez group, u may get banned, Forum rules

Oh okay, sorry will never do that again... thanks for the advice :)
I named them not for the illegal content, rather was curious about what people use most, and i'm of course centered about knowledge in compression and packaging, not warez ;)

I will read those links now :)

Hi, sorry to bother again, but i'm unsure if it is a well known bug or just my inexperience with InnoSetup.

I used the blackbox script you suggested me some post before and i found that for some reason if i put some spaces in {#AppName} the window wpSelectDir (with the folder selection) just skips to Tasks selection.

Then i used a name that has no spaces in it, and everything went well...

Then i started to translate the script in italian, and suddenly start skipping again...

To me is unknown why, i started debugging with breakpoints here:

//-------- Second Page --------\\
if CurPageID=wpSelectDir then begin

Then it seems that the pointer CurPageID >SKIPS< the constant wpSelectDir without any good reason (since there no compilation errors).
Are there any requirements that has to be met in order to NOT skip the folder selection screen by default?

Is there any other script released compatible with Masked Compression that use a more linear approach in the windows rather than a stupid pointer and some "if cycle" to hide or show controls?

Or someone has ideas about why this is happening?

NEVERMIND: Using Inno Setup 5 Enhanced Unicode somewhere in this forum seems to have fixed all the problems... thank you for reading anyway :)

The compress is done successfully, I built the setup.exe
and move the data1.bin to the "output" directory ... when I run the setup
the game installs without any problem, when i checkout the installation folder
I found all the files of the game + two temp folders ... when i delete them
the game continues to work without any problem ... i want them to not be in the installation folder , so I deleted them from "Mask Data Compression" after moving the data1.bin to output folder (Windows Phone Skin) , now when i install the game , the installation doesn't complete and it shows me an error ' data unpacking error...' something like that

It is my first time using this, I followed the steps mentioned in your video
but it seems there are some parts not mentions and are important
Help!

panker and razor and fitgirl i learned almost everything about compression and data packaging THANK YOU

Thank you @panker1992 for this wonderful tool, I a beginner and this has solved a lot of my compression problems,
The only Thing now that bothers me is File Splitting so that i can put in my media Discs.
Can you help me with Data.bin splitting using Your Mask Compression or Inno Setup Disk Spanning or some other tool? I will be very thankful to you :)

Hi. When using lc / lp / pb parameters I get "write error (disk full?)"

When I remove them from arc.ini, it is OK. Any ideas?

for lzma2, lc+lp cannot be larger then 4.

thank you.

One more thing, when I try to unpack the archive, I get "Unsupported compression method srep:m3f:a1:l512"

This is my .bat file

And arc.ini

I copied dec.exe (for unpacking) to my script folder and defined it inside the script

Thanks in advance.

Copy and extract cls-srep.dll instead

it is there from the beginning. It is not the first time I use srep. :(

Hi guys, I downloaded the BlackBox_2.5.1 from page 38. It works but there is a little bug in the script !

It creates the desktop shortcut in both these cases:

1. If you don't check the box "Create Desktop Shortcut"

2. If you check the box "Create Desktop Shortcut"

And obviously it must creates the icon only in case number "2." . Can someone solve this bug/problem ? Thanks !

{-option } u forgot - this will make the whole srep options don't work
packcmd = srep {-option } $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

try this is comprass 60mb to 7.5mb ----> 30gb to 7gb or 15gb

Download This arc.ini And Replace In Masked Compression

ISDone.dll error
 

Everything works fine but when i open the installer it shows a error with tittle "ISDone.dll" and says 'Failed to open the archive in the module IS7zipExtract!'.
Please Help!!:confused:

IS7zipExtract work only 7zip not working to Arc or masked

I believe some of the tools included in this have been surpassed by newer iteration/implementations.

Would the author be so kind as to accommodate the changes?

IS7ZIPEXTRACT function isn't needed at all since 7zip is merely an internal compressor used by arc

Arc exe has it in ini so long that is true that function is useless

any idea why .minizip files are not compressing at all i tried almost all methods like ultral1,ultral2,ultral3 and medium l2 and none of them compresses the file at all :/
i am using masked data 2.5.1 and yes i have also tried 2.5 but still the same problem

High entropy of some files negate their ability to be compressed this is why bik and other video files are incompressible , it's because they are already compressed once . You need to extract them first

but if i extract them then is it possible to put it back to .minizip format again ?

or you could use pzlib on them and save time ? minizip files are very much recompressible with pzlib.

in masked data one of the methods has pzlib in it but oh well i will try just pzlib but is there like a pzlib compressor like masked data ? cause i really don't know how to use pzlib :p

so first i used only pzlib and it went from 5gb to 9gb then i used pzlib+srep+lzma that gave me this result

:/

^So what's wrong with it ? PZLIB inflates your zlib/deflate input so you get larger output, using a stronger compression on that output makes it smaller.

as you can see in the picture the ratio was 85.84% i wanted it to go lower than that :/

pzlib makes file bigger, because it find precompressed streams and extract them. thus allowing for better compression to be implemented
