Steam Limitless
 

Into the new era of FMXInno with the latest FNewINI implementation. This installer is a beast in terms of Code Optimization and new features.

- Enable or disable the use of DSG depending on your choice (Thanks to @Cesar82 for making it DSG compatible)
- You can have as many AppExes (currently 4) and Data files
- You can have upto 50 Redist, 50 Additional Component and 50 Languages files each. Limited because I don't want anyone to abuse the resources but if you want to increase the capacity more, check here
- No need to make any changes to the script at all. The Installer.ini file inside the 'Game' folder supports everything, even Data, Redist, Component and Languages
- Play Page to directly play your game by selecting AppExe from installer
- Watch Game Trailer during installation.
- More Installer Upgrades

Benefits of the installer:
- Separate .iss to read the installer script.
- Code Optimized rendering of SidePanel component and Tab
- Code Optimized rendering of Redist, Component and Language creation
- Code Optimized for Shortcut Creation
- Code Optimized for Data, Component and Language file decompression
- Code Optimized for Post Install Redist Installation
- Script is independent of changes in number of max Data, Redist or additional component count. You can have as many as UI can support
- Better Error Handling
- Fixed a bug where missing Data File still proceeded with Installation.
- Variant of style.bin for FCheckbox (Thanks to @AgentV)

Check out the Automate folder for:
- MD5 verification of your files
- Automatically creating the .iss for importing list of Tools
- Automatically creating the .iss for extracting required tools during decompression

What is DSG (DiskSpan) compatibility?
The infamous DiskSpan compressor has been made compatible with this installer. Whether or not your compression was done using DSG, you can still extract your Data Files by:
Copying the Setup.dll in the Unpack > Decomp_DSG Folder

In case you don't know the compression method, open your Data#.bin with FreeArc and go to "INFO" > "Solid Blocks" tab to know exactly the name of the methods used.
Within the "Setup DLL" tab of the DSG, access the "Maker" sub-tab and paste the methods one on each line. Example:
You can uncheck the split and diskspan checkboxes at the bottom of the window and click Create to create the Setup.dll file.
More Info DiskSpan GUI

PS: User also has an option to choose if they want to extract using their tools or DSG. In case they opt to choose their tools, they can put their files inside Unpack > Decomp_Custom > Tools.
And run, Automate > Create Tools List.bat and Create Tools Init.bat

This installer will have more upgrade if these pending requests are fulfilled.

hi audiofeel, in vesta installer, there isn't any Remaining Time in the installer, i added the link from another installer and now i have Remaining time in the installer when installing, the problem now is that i don't know how to change the "secs" and "mins" to display the full word as "Seconds" and "Minutes". Any idea?

Thank you so much, i did come across that part, but i had no idea at all :D

Alright got it, thank you once again, the picture behind the text info is edited by me in Photoshop, i decided to use picture editing method instead of code, its just a "FRectangle + InitRectangleHandle + .FillPicture", im slowly editing this installer to my liking and as i edit it i learn the coding as well. I created a music button by looking at other examples, and i can say i'm happy i made a working button for the first time :D

welcome to the club then... ;)

Help
 

Make a tutorial video for using this compressor: DiskSpan GUI
I didn't understand anything from the pictures, a video shows everything easily, thanks

Thank you for the warm welcome, salute and bows for you sir :)

Hi, in the Steam Limitless installer, i noticed something that i like, that is the animation of the game info, when the button is clicked, the game info expands downwards pushing the other tabs down too, anyone can help me with identifying which code is responsible for that, i want to implement it into my installer.

I tried copying the code of one of the animations and changing it according to my installer, the animation works, but then it doesnt push anything in its way downwards like in Steam Limitless installer. I can't figure it out. Thanks in advanced!

Is it possible to add multiple app exe and components to the installer?

Thank you for quick reply and update.

The only thing i can't see, and maybe will be added later, is how to add more desktop icons. For example for game collections or if the game have config and game exe as well. Either way, thanks once again.

Thank you so much for updating it this fast. Tested the desktop shortcut by adding 3 more shortcuts to the list and is working perfectly. I assume that now we can add as many redist, components (DLC, languages ) and shortcuts as we need. Thanks once again. Simple to use and clean installer.

Sorry for disturbing again... I am just wondering if is possible, on the Froza installer, on the components to add a different install path... For example I have X game that install mods to the user docs folder and not in game directory...
The solution I use for now is to add it into files section of the script... is not elegant but will do for the moment.

instead of {app} use {userdocs}

Epic Games Installer
 

After working on Steam Limitless, this idea clicked my mind and ever since I've been working on it and always wanted to share. It's just I'm soo excited to share this piece of work with you all, well most of the code is reused from Steam Limitless. So, here is the stable version of my Epic Games Installer.

Please test it and feel free to report them back to me. Works best on 1080p 125% scale

Right now, you can have:
- Unlimited Redists
- DSG or Custom Tools support for extraction
- Promised Updates will be posted here in future

What's New:
- Different type of Files Verification
- Different type of Installation progress Bar and section.
- Custom created Font
- Custom created style file for all resolution support
- Custom Slideshow and Generic WebView file added

PS: Humble request to please not remove the watermark and link to my YT channel. This is going to be the final update of the installer. All updates included. Bug fixes will only happen if reported in future.

Hi. Can you add function for search game folder and regedit. If game already installed, delete files

You can check from this project

I reported an issue here of why search folder can't be implemented. The reason, I had to go with this approach, both in Steam as well as Epic Games.

If you want to put it inside the subfolder, you can edit the text in directory box as well.

Regedit is working, I verified.
If the game is already installed then the user will only have the option to play which is standard UI in Steam. I can put a button to uninstall, but the question is where?

you can add droplist like this for uninstall game

also have problem with windows 7 low end PC. When i run setup (DIsk spn gui used) after 20-30 % cant unpack files. I think fitgirl added maximum 2gb ram usage. its same problem

Good
 

I hope you finish this installation as soon as possible, it will be great, I am waiting for the final version, I hope it has a lot of information
please
6-data.bin
have

Index
 

i've updated the index. check it out

I'll try, maybe I can put it at the finish page, instead of that disabled download info button. Will keep you posted.

These installer really are CPU intensive so I recommend using W10 or above for installation. I cannot guarantee that I'd implement 2GB RAM support for low end PCs, but if I get some time, I'd like to learn how to do it. Would implement it in my next project then.

Hey guys, im not so familiar with the checking thing that some installers have, like for example in fitgirl repacks, she give the options to check if some of the files were installed properly, and there is another thing that checks the hash/sha1 or something like that, i don't really have any knowledge about that "checking" stuff, can anyone guide me about this and also how do i add this feature to the installer, im still using Vesta installer.

Also one more thing, i just need to know how to make .nfo files like all the scenes, what software of what do they use to create it. Thanks to all in advanced!

Thanks audiofeel, right now my main focus is on building my own type of installer (design wise) using the Vesta installer as the base, since that is the simplest coding i can understand and well put together. And adding some features i like from other installers, I will only focus on repacking after i finish coding the installer, it takes me a day to just code a single button xD

Sorry because earlier i wasn't clear enough, what i wanted to know about the "checking" thing, that checks if all files are present or missing or bad, like the one from Steam Limitless installer, there's a tab where it checks if all the files needed is present. which part of the code is responsible? thanks

As for the NFO creator, the one you shared works great, then after more curiosity i found another NFO creator here: https://nfo-creator.informer.com/3.5/
both of them works good!

This is what my installer looks like now, this is vesta installer but i just designed it differently (the game and info is all decoys, i haven't repack anything yet).:D

If this is the original design, looks very good. In Steam Limitless, if you want to know what part of code is responsible for Verify Files button, just search with 'Verify' keyword.

The procedure for verification is called 'VerifyHashMultiCallback' in Script > Procedures.iss. I put this as other .iss outside the script so that I can reuse them in other repacks that I'd be working on future, like Epic Games.

This file is imported under [Files] section, which is editable in notepad and populated using certain commands in cmd prompt, if you want to skip third party app.
Source: "Game\Hash_setup.md5"; DestDir: "{tmp}"; Flags: dontcopy;
To automatically populate this file, you can use MD5 Verification.bat in Automate folder. It automatically verifies the file

If you want to know anything else from my installers, let me know. Happy to help!

Thank you, yes im more of a perfectionist myself (Willem Dafoe meme reference lol)

yes you're right it will take time and space, it will take me months to finally finish coding this installer as i only do it after i get home from work, and sometimes never. So once im done i will be back here to seek for help about the Check Files feature. :)

Thank you Fak Eid, yes it's original idea :), I will save this message you wrote and read it until i fully understand and try doing something, i will come back if i need more help, thank you.:D

Epic Games Installer
 

The final update of the installer has been posted.
All previous updates and change logs can be found here
The Original post with the installer script can be found here

Hello, thank you very much for the installer, although in my case I have an adjustment problem when the monitor scale is 125%.

https://i.ibb.co/rs7WFFr/Image1.jpg

No, I have not tried the previous one to the update, I have been looking at but I do not find the download link, I have discharged the "UWP-Tiles" that is very similar and if it works well, so I comfort myself.

All the best

Yes, this works correctly.

Thanks again for making these scripts

Generic Installer
 

You can call it S.M.A.R.T or Generic Installer, comfortable for all type of games. After some feedback and realizing repacker's love for simple installers, I've tried making a repack where you can self customize it with INI Maker and no code.

I believe this is by far the most amount of brainstorming I did to put in features so that user can customize it.

You can have:
- 6 AppExes
- Unlimited Redist, Data?.bin, Components and Languages section
- DSG or custom tool support
- Installer alternation based on what about of love it gets.

The idea for creating this is because some games have frequent update and you might just want to create their repacks fast, so you would like to skip some sections, while others are AAA games, for which you want to put in a lot of information / section.

Most of the code is reused from Steam Limitless and Epic Games.

What's new:
- User can alter Theme of Installer.
- Custom Created Checkboxes from the scratch so that they are independent of style file and can be changed based on the theme color of repack.
- Had a request to have 2GB RAM limiter on my installer.
- Directory Info Bar
- INI Maker

Change Logs:
Update [04-09]
- INI Maker has been added and Installer code updated
- Updated with the latest FMXInno Plugin

Update [11-09]
- Installer now has Splash support
- Fixed issue where DSG Tools were not optimal when 2GB RAM indicator was selected (Thank you @Cesar82)
- Fixed other bugs and reported issues.

This installer will not have WebView support as I tried embedding it, but then many things were not looking or working as expected.
Show it some love :cool:
