Ok.. Guy's Which 2 Or 3 Languages Are Used Most Frequently.

I Know English Is One.!

2nd One...

& 3rd One.....

GLH 25-03-2005 06:04

Hmm..!

I'll See If I Can Get English, German, Spanish.! :)

scaramonga 25-03-2005 06:25

But why would you want any other language if the backup is only for yourself?

:rolleyes:

My Wife Is German..! And She Knows Spanish.! Not Fluent In English.! :(
Also Can Someone Tell Me Which Text Files Are German And Spanish..!

:)

mojo8850 25-03-2005 06:57

Hi Guy's..!

What I Have Found Out Is You Dont Have To Use data2.cab.!

I've Deleted French File's.!
Below Is The Command I Used.! :)

i6comp d data1.cab 90 datav_fr.dat
i6comp d data1.cab 91 datas_fr.dat

Also The Game Worked Perfectly As Well As Installed..!

Now From My Doing's I Think If You Delete From CAB 1 It Auto Corresponds To All Mean All Files Are Connected And It Know's Where To Delete From..! :)

kosmiq 25-03-2005 07:10

First of Mojo the textfiles you wondered about, there goes:
The german readme file should be "Liesmich.txt" and the spanish one might be "Léeme.txt"...
Also the german and spanish versions of the acrobatreader files are:
AdbeRdr60_deu.exe (german Adobe)
AdbeRdr60_esp.exe (spanish Adobe)
AOW_MANUAL_DEU.pdf (german manual)
AOW_MANUAL_ESP.pdf (spanish manual)

And about the cab thingie, if you take a look when deleting stuff from data2.cab you will notice that it is the last cab (data6.cab) is the one that gets smaller until it is only a file with no info, and then it is data5.cab that gets smaller. This means that files will be automoved forward in the filesystem of the cabs.

The difference in cab sizes are as follows:
data1.cab - before: 7407kb - after: 7407kb
data2.cab - before: 1039808kb - after: 1039808kb
data3.cab - before: 1048576kb - after: 1048576kb
data4.cab - before: 1048576kb - after: 1048576kb
data5.cab - before: 1048576kb - after: 104506kb
data6.cab - before: 645219kb - after: 0.5kb

This should mean that data1.cab doesn't contain any language files in as it is too small for that. My guess is that the .exe file or similar is stored there.
And that language files are spread around data2.cab-data6.cab and therefore i6comp is indeed "autofinding" files to delete.
And I have never encountered any modern game that has all files stored in only 1 cab file.

Thanks kosmiq :)

Firstly Thanks For The Fast Reply, Secondly I've Decided To Delete Only French Keep The Remaining Languages.! So Which README File Is French.

On The Other Hand About The CAB File's. Yep That's Wat I Meant Even If You
Start From data1.cab It Auto Looks For It And Delete's Them. Which Mean It
Will Still Work.! :)

kosmiq 25-03-2005 09:50

The french readme oughta be "LisezMoi.txt".
Not 100% on that though, but the words in it looks most french of the ReadMe's that are bundled with this game.

And yeah, you're right about the cab thingie, only me not thinking all way through... :o
But will the disc get beneath 4.36gb if you only remove french language? I removed all except english language as I am the only one in the family playing games and I ain't no good at any other languages than Swedish and English...
And the fact that I hate localized games is also a big part of it. ;)

I am also sorry that it took so long answering this time.. :D
But I was busy playing games on my xbox.

And btw, I'm only glad to help.. :)

mojo8850 25-03-2005 12:17

Dont Worry About The Late Replies.!

Ive Managed To Fit 3 Languages.!

ENGLISH, GERMAN & SPANISH. :)

Total Size Come To 4.25GB

infierno 25-03-2005 18:27

the game is a total crap.... C&C did this game some years before... and in 2 CDs not even a uberexpensive dvd9.... what are the diferences? i would like to see other damage system like for tanks.... (like in showw2) or i dont know... something new... i prefer C&C with the humvees with tows or the tanks with drones... at least is more fun oh and C&C had 3 teams china iran and USA , and this game? 3 diferent usas? or what?

kosmiq 26-03-2005 04:26

This game is so much more fun than C&C, pwns C&C ass so hard it will never recover.
Haven't had this fun with a RTS game since, like Red Alert (not Red Alert 2) or something like that.

This game is so great, but I can agree with the fact that two of the teams are to look-alike (TaskForceTalon and U.S. Army).

mojo8850 26-03-2005 05:27

Yes Inferno & kosmiq

I Think So To C&C Was The Best Game At The Time.
As We Already Know More & More Advance Gaming Is Coming.!
So The New AOW Is Awesome.! I Love It Espeacialy The Multiplayer.
When I.m Kicking My Wife's Ass..! I Can Never Stop Laughing..

She Comes Moaning Down Saying That Im Cheating :):):):):):) LOL.!

infierno 26-03-2005 10:18

The Difference With The C&C & AOW, Hmm...!

Graphics Are Outstanding..! The Rest Ill Leave To You.!

:):)

infierno 26-03-2005 17:06

Yes But From What I Remember I Think It's Not Mouse Compatibale.! Meaning Using The Mouse For Rotating & Mouse Wheel To Zoom In/Out.!

Hey Guy's Can The I6COMP Comppress Folder And Files.! What I Want To Know Is Using A GUI Utility.! :)

kosmiq 27-03-2005 06:42

I still think that this game is better than C&C... It simply feels more balanced and not as "oh-I've-built-500-super-weapons-and-will-nuke-you-till-you-drop".
Here you can protect yourself vs. Super Weapons, thats great I say.

And there are none real Super trooper that will kill everything it comes close. Even if some units are pretty strong, there are always some that will take it down.

and Mojo, about i6comp, no idea...

infierno 27-03-2005 08:55

the plasma nuke is a mass destruction weapon.... well maybe its more tactical and realistic... i hate the chinese ubertank called infierno i think that tank with a turret that u could become in other turret... and IIRC the C&C had some patriots to counter the weapons of mass or the tomahawkz

mojo8850 07-04-2005 16:32

Ok Guy's

Hey could we stick to the topic, I think were going out a little bit talking more
of C&C gameplay rather that the conversions & compression using I6COMP. :)

Press any key to continue . . .

I get this repeated msg if I try to run the i6comp d command or this patch.bat that does all that for me in one command. What is wrong? If anyone knows of a solution please help

*Note: I also tried Winpack. Got to the datacabs and saw the foreign language groups. Tried to delete with Delete a group command. It did the dos commands as mentioned but I think it uses i6comp.exe as well and didn't disappear after the command to Delete a group was initiated.

Also my 'data1.hdr is 20.8kb so I dunno if anything is wrong with it... Maybe someone can post there data1.hdr here since its a small file.

Problem implementing this guide...
 
Hello all,
I tried to use this guide but I ran into a problem when trying to use the i6comp.exe file through the command prompt. I got this error:

"This does not look like IShield 6 cab =)
Are u sure u know what u are doing ?"

I tried 2 different versions of i6comp and they both would give me this error.
What can be done in this case?

Thanks!!

what is not in the Instructions is that the files are "Read Only"

highlight all Cab Files and the Hdr file - go to Properties and untag "Read Only"

then try it

***************************************

well it worked for me doing all this - used i6comp and did the command prompt thing - edited the ini file for languages - wrote the files to DVD via nero - went to install it and

Wahey it installs - oooo nice intro

mojo8850 29-04-2005 13:57

Hi People.

Leechasd from what I been reading it looks like you been using the GUI interface. If so then I wont recommend it, I tried using it and boom it not worth it. The dos version is the best one.! :)

If you were using the dos version then my appology.!
