Another question regarding the Custom installer ultimate:

There are 3 images labeled "Uninstall", "Exit" and "Play.
In the default far cry 3 setup you need to click the "UnInstall" button to Install, Huh?

How do I simply put in my own plain button like I used to with the regular custom installer - one that i can put text with my custom font on?

just use the button you want, and edit in setup.ini the dimension of the button under [AutorunSettings] (ie: uninstall buttons)
Code:

[UnInstallButton]
Left=459
Top=112
Width=58
Height=58
LabelY=1500

for
Code:

[UnInstallButton]
Left=459
Top=112
Width=your button eidth
Height=your button height
LabelY=1500 (delete this line if you want to show the label install/uninstall)

remember to use the same name that has the button you want replace.

Thanks,

But that doesn't help me too much.

The problem is all the buttons I have made are the standard 'Button, ButtonClicked, ButtonDisabled'.png

I cannot figure out what to type to enable them.
Your post will help me adding my own extra buttons, but it doesn't help me enable the already existing ones.
-Could you please give an example to add those buttons?

I have my own font, and I do not want to have to Manually add the text to the images - I would prefer this to be done automatically, the same way as was in the plain custom installer.

-I prefer the ultimate installer as a whole, but I still need some help adjusting.
And there is almost no info in the tutorial for any of this.

-Oh, and how do you change what the buttons do once you've added them?

It's the same, just open button.png and save as uninstall.png, buttonselected as uninstallselected do the same with the exit.png and exitselected.png, then on setup.ini change the dimmension of that button like the example a left you before. And for the font just replace one of the two fonts that already exist for your own and change the name of the font on setup.ini for the one you use. you dont have to add the text to the image. for exit and uninstall button just delete the labelY=1500 sintax.

download any of my conversion and look how I use the buttons.

Awesome, so far so good.

I am 99% done with my installer, only 1 stupid problem remains:

I cannot figure out how to change the font size of the smallInstaller - only the font size of the entire setup.
I cannot Align the Small Buttons either.

It is kind of irritating because my buttons are directly behind the progress bar.

to fix the problem (buttons are directly behind the progress bar.) just reduce the shadow on [SmallInstaller] section. If it's shadow=60 try shadow=50 or 40 and see if that fix the problem.
And the font size of small installer it cant be done. Only the entire setup like you say.

Is there a way to make animated buttons in the custom installer, or CIU?

Here is the scenario:
I am making my own installer for DMC, remember how in the 3rd game you could 'Slash' or 'Shoot' the loading symbol and add scars to it?
I want to have a slash mark appear whenever someone moves the mouse over the button, when they remove the mouse it stays, then when they move the mouse over the button another slash mark is added (So the number of slashes increase every time they move the mouse over - up to a limit).

Any Idea's?

Aside from that scenario, is it possible to have genuine animated buttons (Like gifs) as well.
And animated backgrounds?

The DMC buttons are my top concern right now, but I would appreciate it if someone could answer my other questions too.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

OK... What am I doing wrong?

http://i41.tinypic.com/2m47s7p.jpg

Both Autorun.bmp and Autorun.png are same in size.
PNG is 32b while BMP is 2b (just like originals in CIU that was supplied).

Sizes are the same on both images 800x587 and that same size is set in Setup.ini.
Code:

[AutorunSettings]
AutorunWidth=587
AutorunHeight=800

please help me.

which script are you using? ( Version # IE 8574, 1006 .... )
read first post ( section on setup.ini ) it specifically lists what you need to do when using extreme compression... arc m0 / precomp / srep / arc.

The command you used last:
arc a -m0 data.cab data.pcf.srep
pause

should be arc a -m# ( 0 = no compression, you could use 1-9 for better compression of final file.) data.cab data.srep ( you have data.pcf.srep ) once srep is finished packing the precomp output file it should end in srep extension.
