mikey26 setup.cab has all needed files already. All files I referred are used to prepare archives only, so should be placed in separated folder and after creating cabs can be deleted (you don't need to include it to CI)

And when we will have it ?:eek::p
BTW looks great and THX for the latest updates to the C.I.

Magnificent :)

just a small suggestion

add a function to add/modify registry values in the designer so it will make it easier for beginners

Thanks for the help ... Bamse

Some suggestion for yener90's Project:

1- add timer in during installation at title or somewhere.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
2- integrate Setup.exe and Setup.cab and Setup.ini into one file. [Manual Compling]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

when i am using custom method with arc.ini including precomp,srep and external lzmax64 the CI 8.4.3 works great but the progressbar is not work reality, how i can fix it?

Bamse but I wanted to ask this row -mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8
that uses: low compression - normal - Maximum?
Can you explain a bit more in detail with explanation please?

means definition of compression method

means compressing with precomp (with parameters defined in arc.ini under [External compressor:precomp] section)

means additional parameter for precomp (which is not defined in arc.ini), in this case it's -v parameter

means compressing with srep (with parameters defined in arc.ini under [External compressor:srep] section), also here you can add parameters separated by ":"

means compression with lzma

means additional parameters for lzma, in this case -a1 -mfbt4 -d256m -fb128 -mc1000 -lc8


So as you can see it's really strong compression

Hum.. guys i'm trying to use the latest version with arc commandline but i've some problem!
I used this arc.ini
i put it on the root of Setup.cab (as in the example yener90 has given us).

Then i edit Setup.ini adding the precomp version used for compression (PrecompVer=0.42) and adding the code for Extractsetting, like this
(i have doubts on PrecSrep value but i tested with 0 and with 1 and there are no differences!)

I have four archives compressed in this way (each line is an archive):
During installation I always get an error (about decompression method) and I can't extract any archive.

edit: i thought the problem was my arc.ini (the "unpackcmd" command) but doing manual decompression with command line, arc works fine!
(for example, doing "arc x Setup-1c.arc" the extraction works fine. Obviously arc.exe, arc.ini, srep and precomp (and all dll needed) are in the same folder!)

What am I doing wrong? :(
Thanks

You've prepared cabs with combined method so you must use
in your setup.ini

is for older way (arc --> pcf --> srep --> cab)

Damn, i'm an idiot. I thought "inside" meant the version of precomp used (and the current one) and not just the word "inside"! :rolleyes:

Thanks you BAMsE! :cool:

Bamse I did as you said ...
No one folder I put the files taken from the installation of arc.exe freeArc \ bin \ arc.exe (0.67), taken from the

folder setup arc.ini Yener, precomp 042 with its 3.0 SREP file and then I created the file . bat with written inside

echo off
cls
set choice1=
echo.
set /p choice1=Please type game folder path (e.g. c:\program files (x86)\BioWare\Mass Effect 3):
echo.
echo Creating archive files, please wait...
arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8 "%choice1%\Binaries\*"
if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
echo.All done.
pause
goto EOF
:arcfail
echo.
echo.WARNING: FreeArc returns an error, please retry...
pause
:EOF

if using your parameter -mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8 gives me this error

I tried precomp.exe 042 04 038 but 'equal

could you pass the working files that you use please?

Use this version of precomp. Version: 0.4.2

Did you write it like as you pasted here? If yes then delete the space between "l" and "c". The line of parameters is valid. ;)

I dont know if it's happening only me, but currently working on automated script. 1 hour passed and still compressing 4gb of files, and 4 hours ETA.. It's not freeze, working however 5 hours for 4gb of content, this is downright ridiculous people lol

I know because I put in this
do not know why I added my own ...
