Hi,
Any idea why shortcut is a white blank icon?

I have this in Settings.ini

[Executable1]
ShortcutName=Kena Bridge of Spirits
ExePath=Kena.exe
ExeParam=
IconFileName=Kena.exe

I even had:
IconFileName=Setup.ico

Since Setup.ico use icon straight from game .exe file.
Still it was white blank image.

"IconFileName={app}\Kena.exe"
This made the trick.
Thank you very much Cesar82

Is it there any easy solution to have multiple data files for single selected component? I'm currently making a collection, with one of the selective titles having to have certain files packed separately. I know I could just instruct the user to select 2 items, but for the sake of it looking better I was wondering if a neater solution would be possible.

I tried modifying

Code:

if Trim(GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(I) + '.File', '', IniFile)) = '' then

Code:

ComponentFile := ExpandConstant('{src}\' + GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(CompIndexList[I]) + '.File', '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Settings.ini')));

Code:

if Trim(GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(I) + '.FileA' or '.FileB', '', IniFile)) = '' then

Code:

ComponentFile := ExpandConstant('{src}\' + GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(CompIndexList[I]) + '.FileA', '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Settings.ini')));

ComponentFile := ExpandConstant('{src}\' + GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(CompIndexList[I]) + '.FileB', '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Settings.ini')));

when they appeared (twice for each) within the script, however this sadly didn't work out, with other attempts either not functioning when testing with a set of example archives, or an error was met on compiling the script. Does anyone familiar with Pascal have any idea if this type of modification is possible? I'm assuming such a solution isn't feasible, as the script wasn't designed to have multiple entries for a single component part.

Yes, however, you have to enable Tasks

Just make a Task

Code:

Task1.Name=Game Files

Task1.ItemType=CHECKBOX

Task1.Size=<Game size> gb/mb/kb/b

Task1.Level=0

Task1.Checked=1

Task1.Enabled=0

And records.ini

Code:

[Record1]

Type=Freearc_Original

Source={src}\Data1a.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=<archive size> gb/mb/kb/b

Task=1



[Record2]

Type=Freearc_Original

Source={src}\Data1b.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=<archive size> gb/mb/kb/b

Task=1



...

Maybe it works without Task too, but I have not tested it.

But may I ask, why you don't make a masked data archive? You can store different files with different compressions inside a single freearc archive.

Edit: Ohh, I just forgot you are working with an older script (right?). In this case I can't help you much, but I guess it is possible neverthless (I guess in this case you have to work with Component=# instead of Task=# in records.ini).

It's quite odd but regardless of a mask, certain files within this title fail to decompress unless packed separately. Even stranger still compressing these files separately gives a lower combined total, than with these files all-in-one archive.

I'll give merging this feature to v7.2.0 a shot, since it already works in 7.3.X, I'm hopeful I'll be successful!

Odd question considering it's been a few months without a new post on this thread, but what does it mean when the installer outputs a unarc -6 error (unable to read data)? Someone was talking to me about it and I have no clue - I never received this error and decompression worked fine on my machines.

Thank you, but what I meant was a script if possible that asks when you uninstall a game if you want to delete the game save which is for example in <userdocs>\SquareEnix\Final Fantasy VII

You have to make it manualy in your bitmap image. There is a _Background.psd file which contains this half transparent border for example reasons (75% opacity).

Maybe one day I will add PNG images for it :D But actually this project is finished from my side if there are no bugs around.

Thank you in advance for your replies

KaktoR

Hello KaktoR,
Hmmm I only see links for 7.3.2
Where is the link to the latest version of asis 7.3.3?
and tell me in 7.3.3, Diskspan GUI is in the 7.3.3 archive?
look at me image of version 7.2.2a

KaktoR

08-05-2022 08:02

Sorry I totally forgot to share 7.3.3

Here it is.

What you need is just DSG 2.0.0.9+ (latest ASIS should work with other versions down to 2.0.0.5 too).

Ok KaktoR,
thank you very much but tell me for DSG 2.0.0.9+ I unzip the archive in the "COMPRESSOR" directory of asis?
in fact what I want is that "DSG 2.0.0.9+" be integrated into the Asis 7.3.3 script as in your version (7.2.2a) it's much more practical

KaktoR

08-05-2022 08:28

Yes Setup.exe will be created in COMPRESSOR\Setup_Files folder if it exists.

Your error could happen because you edited the script. I will give no support for edited script unless you know what to do.

Go to Help folder and read Settings.txt. There is all explained you need to know.

KaktoR

It is only possible to change the welcome and finish messages.

By editing the script it is possible to change the whole appereance of the installer too, like this

However sometimes it is needed to change the font size for all elements. Like in the image above, you will see some cut texts.

Instead of using Fonte.Size := 14 you can try using Fonte.Height := Scale(10) for example (it will keep the Height aspect of the font automatically calculating the font.size).

What'd be the best solution for being able to use a custom directory constant for a component file? I'm interested in looking into using something like the "{sd}" constant for a given component entry.

I know such functionality is supported for specifying the path of an ".ini" file under [INISettings], but I'm not too sure how to implement it.

I believe this is the section of the script I should be looking at, with the highlighted text being the value that I THINK indicates the working directory for where the file should be.

Code:

            ComponentFile := ExpandConstant('{src}\' + GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(CompIndexList[I]) + '.File', '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Settings.ini')));

            if (ISDoneError = False) and FileExists(ComponentFile) then

              if not ISArcExtract(0, 0, ComponentFile, ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), false) then

                ISDoneError := True;

I thought about using "{#.File}" or "{#File}", (as seen when used for "{#INIFile}") but this doesn't seem to be a valid solution, would anyone be able to suggest a method that I can look into?

This is an old version of ASIS and I don't even remember anymore, but I think you can use any constant supported by Inno Setup, but all components will be redirected to new constant.
P.S: The current version you configure directly in the Records.ini file for each component.

L33THAK0R

20-05-2022 04:36

I am able to change all components to use a given constant, was hoping though to be able to use a different constant for each component, thanks for the help nonetheless.

All the new functionality in newer versions of the script really have me seriously considering making the move from v7.2.0, honestly though the only thing stopping me is the super convenient "Compressor GUI", its a shame it was phased out after v7.2.0 .

Cesar82

20-05-2022 07:57

Compressor GUI was eliminated to make way for DiskSpan GUI which has much more features and ease of compression doing everything automatically.

Why don't you use DiskSpan GUI?
