Hello Everyone,

I use ISFreeArcExtract v.4.2 Script for Inno

What Settings i need to use with UltraARC 2900 R5 Stable Release?

I have try Precomp+SREP+LZMA+LOLZ but it not work, is work only with LZMA...

I just whant to use the better compression possible for this script, thank!

KaktoR 28-09-2018 13:49

You have to include all the CLS, Arc.ini settings and decompressors into the script and let them unpack when install begins (or before).

pakrat2k2 28-09-2018 14:10

has anyone else gotten this error message ?

Getting this error when i start ultraARC

"Access violation at address 007C18F8 in module 'UltraARC.exe' . Read of address 000003B8"

It has been reported but just wondering if any other users have seen this issue at all ?

Have re-downloaded the archive from first post, just incase local copy here was corrupt.

Nope. The only message I got last time was that cls srep thing what Simorq noted.

Try this. lolz work now.

See what i have done in two scripts to understand what to do if you like to add new unpack things.

PS: LZMA+LOLZ doesn't make sense, both are final compressors. Use either LZMA or LOLZ alone, not both at same time.

Haha! :rolleyes:

Sorry, i dont know all the compression format, is all new for me, i have alway use LZMA/MAX from inno in the past, what do you suggest me for best result? Precomp+SREP+LZMA?

EDIT: Most important, forgot to say THANKS!

Midnights 28-09-2018 14:53

I have just try PRE+SREP+LZMA, and it not working... :(

All the time i select SREP or Precomp, the installer not work... ??

EDIT: LOLZ (Only) work great!

Means when i create Arc with this, the inno setup extractor failed with this type of message "Unknown compression/decompression Method" ...

Can u please provide us the Example like Before?

Thanks

@Simorq
can you make 7-Zip-zstd work with <stdin> <stdout>
https://github.com/mcmilk/7-Zip-zstd/releases
it has brotli and zstd built-in 7z.dll...
i don't know the setting for zstd/brotli within 7-Zip-zstd

Simorq 30-10-2018 16:34

@doofoo24
I was going to do it.
But the command line is hidden.

UltraArc 2900 R5
Method : P.XT + SREP + LZMA_MT

In some games, I'm unable to use P.XT because on decompression this error occurs.

KaktoR 20-12-2018 04:30

1. increase chunk size
2. Use lower thread usage (t##p)

One of the two works always

PS: And use UltraArc R6 because of better settings

doofoo24 22-12-2018 10:00

any idea how to change font size in vcl (skin.vsf)
it work with ISSkin like
WizardForm.CancelButton.Font.Height:=26;
WizardForm.CancelButton.Font.Style := [fsBold];
but using vcl the font is small and doesn't seem to change ?

hwang4 24-12-2018 02:37

ahmedwaill 25-12-2018 14:17

Definitely a beginner question, but how do I attach an ISS script to UltraARC?

I don't understand your question? You can't attach an ISS Script to UltraArc. What should it be exactly?

umisery 24-04-2019 01:25

I'm trying to add registry data during installation, but can't figure out how is all. All the info I'm going off is the post I quoted and this wiki: https://custom-installer-ultimate-v2.../wiki/UltraArc which doesn't cover it. Would you be able to explain how?

KaktoR 24-04-2019 01:45

UltraArc is only for compression.

For installation use inno setup (you can get a few scripts here which are able to extract freearc/ultraarc archives) and use the [Registry] section inside these scripts.

umisery 24-04-2019 01:48

Ah I see, thanks! I'll try and see how it goes.

umisery 24-04-2019 05:51

The majority of the scripts have random compiler errors, this is probably a user error and is beyond my skill level. I'll just give up and use 7zip with manual .reg file.

KaktoR 24-04-2019 06:09

For some of the scripts (if not the mayority of these repack scripts) you have to use InnoEE for compile (which you can find on this thread in OP).

Spexxos 08-05-2019 18:53

According to this article here (https://custom-installer-ultimate-v2.../wiki/UltraArc) Ultraarc should support the RAZOR compressor. However I am not able to find out how to use it.

I scanned through all the .ini files and found nothing, tried to add an external compressor and method in cofig0, then config1 etc. and edited UltraArc.ini accordingly.l I tried every place that seemed logical to me. Didnt work.

Honestly I have no clue where the error lies. Is it even possible to add an external compressor? If so how do I do it?

aleison 09-06-2019 00:12

Hello, because ultraarc skip the files and it only compress some not all, resulting the game descompressed a little with less size final than the original installed. i tried versions de ultraarc and the ultimate and nothing so i have tried in other pc and same.

KaktoR 13-07-2019 01:32

Use a direct link (or better, use the forum attachment system) for sharing stuff like this.

I won't download anything from a site I don't know.

Zanoza79 04-09-2019 23:30

The question is removed.

psygonex3 03-11-2019 14:15

Doesnt work under win7
 
Not sure why but it works under win8 but not win7 i did remove alot of language packs from win7 but i also omitted the ones not needed in the setup.

Masquerade 21-01-2020 08:36

I think I'm doing something wrong here.

I've used UltraARC now a few times for my compression needs, but I can never seen to get decent compression from anything, I can only really get 300mb or so compression over the original folder size.

Here's the UltraARC log:

Pastebin

I am compressing LEGO Indiana Jones here (which is mainly large .DAT files, with a plethora of small .OGG files since the audio is external to the .DAT files)

Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong? I am using XTool (zlib) + SREP + LOLZ + ZSTD. I don't know how necessary precomp is as well as I'm not too sure if ZSTD is needed on top of LOLZ.

If anyone cna find out how to gain much better compression, I'm all ears :)

No, not really.

I don't know about this game, it could be that the game files are crypted. Maybe try quickbms and extract the files if possible.
