For Website: BAMsE has changed that in 2.0.3.8 i guess. You don't need to enable ExtrasButton to view WebsiteButton. At least it is in 2.0.4 + 2.0.3.9 the case.

and i don't think i touched those

DarkSyris
for website button to show up you only need to put it like this:
Site= w w w(dot) a n y s i t e (dot) c o m
( of course not exactly like that, i just typed it like that so it doesnt link to a website, you dont need the h t t p part )

Thank you so much guys for the quick reply!

I have tried this - like older versions, if I only put visible=1 in Website, this one shows without Extras button to be enabled.
I have tried this way and didn't work in this version.

The URL is fine. I know that HTTP is not needed. I tried with this and older versions of CIU. Thanks for the tip.

If I put visible to both Website and Extras button, the website only shows up after I click on Extras. It's fine!

But If I change the Width and Height values in Website Button, It does not show again! XD Same problem with last version (2.0.3.9).
So I can't personalize this button... Only If it has the same dimensions of others.

If I set Visible=0 to Extras Button and only put to show up the Website button, the Website button does not show up...

Edit:
If i set Extras Button Visible=0 and Website Button Visible=1 and DO NOT CHANGE the sizes of this one, It shows up in Autorun! XD
The problem, then, It is in sizes - like old version!
If I personalize this button and change its sizes, It didin't appears!

Edit2:
Other little problem is that LabelX/LabelY show to be not working too...

And nobody has a idea about independent sounds for each button? At least for Install/Next and Cancel/Back?


I have got the same problem with the cat.exe! Windows antivirus show a trojan Tigger!rfn in this file! The weird thing that I'm using this release a while and only got this today! XD

Thank you so much guys! You're awesome!
A Happy Holidays to all and and Great new Year! With a lot of conversions to do!

And the bug that consumes a lot of CPU with translucid images when uninstall continues??
I had it with my conversion... it's slow down all system.

A little question:
How I set a Custom Icon from my shortcut on desktop? Wiki does not say how.

Despite the little problems and bugs this version of CIU is awesome!
Keep the good work guy!

Hi,

A few things...

1. I can confirm that the website button bug reported by DarkSyrius really exist, I have it as well sometimes
   
   That said, I found a workaround, when it happens, while the Extras button is not visible and website set to be visible, comment out the Width and Height options for the website button, compile the exe, the button will show but won't be right.
   
   Now, un-comment the width, save and compile, the button still there, width is good, height isn't.
   
   Repeat with the height, un-comment it, compile, the button should show up correctly.
   
   
   
2. From some reason the [ExtractSettings] section is completely missing from the Setup.ini, at least for version 2.0.5.1g, didn't check previous versions.
   
   
3. There seems to be two [EqualizerButton] sections, I think one should be [EqualizerSIButton].
   
   
   
4. I think the Setup.ini file should really be re-built, it's a mess, there's no sense to the order of things in it, the redist in the middle, both splash together, autorun options after the normal installer options instead of before, it looks like a total mess. (I've actually been working on that myself, check the attached file, I think it's much better)

Also, can someone tell me how exactly the [ExtractSettings] section work with split files that need the Records.ini file?

For example, if I compress the entire game to one data file and split it to the required disc size, do I need to list only the first part of the split file in [ExtractSettings] or a line for each part?

Thanks.

So, if I split the file Data.bin, it will be something like that?

or maybe this?

I can't tell you for sure, just used it once for a single time (it's about 3 years ago when split feature was new in CIU).

I guess just try it out.

If i remember right you must use both, FreeArcFile# + SplittedFile# for one archive.

Maybe like this:
FreeArcFile1=Data.bin;DestDir:{app};
SplittedFile1=Data.bin.001;DestDir:{app};

It was very similar to records.ini with the split indicator

OK, guess it's trial and error time, at least you were able to give me a general idea how to do it.

Thanks

UPDATE 1: So far, what you suggested in the quote above seems to work, still in middle of test though, will report again when done.

UPDATE 2: OK, weird, it merged and extracted completely fine, but then asked for "Disk 1" again and the OK button was grayed out, clicking Cancel crashed the setup.

Back to the drawing board

UPDATE 3: I'm starting to think that there's no need for any lines in the [ExtractSettings] section when there's a Records.ini file, it seems it takes over, hopefully I'm right, can anyone confirm?

UPDATE 4: Yep, CONFIRMED!!! Only Records.ini needed, nothing in [ExtractSettings] section, worked just as expected.

I left this thinking there is not much interest, then i move into other stuff and forget this XD
Will check this on weekend,
Plus it is not easy to work on 500 kB of source code(500* 1024*1024 ~ 524288000 ) character of code without any comments, written by someone i don't know, but i will get gang of it

I noticed a few more small bugs, just FYI...

1. The equalizer on the installer, it start moving again when you change to the next page, even though the music is off

2. The equalizer should probably get flat when music is stopped rather than freeze in place

3. When you go back all the way to the first page of the installer the music start again, even if it was stopped.

Just thought I'll let you know, it's not major but should be fixed when you have the time.

Already reported a few pages back

Must have missed it then, there are so many pages and posts here.

Anyway, a question, why does the percentage on the progress bar changes size when I change the small installer font size, shouldn't it be fixed size so it fits in the progress bar no matter what?

It's just seems weird to me, if the need to change the progress bar percentage size arises it should be a separate option in my opinion.

Any way of installing archives created with FreeArc CLS-Diskspan plugin with CIUv2.0.5g?

Simply adding CLS-Diskspan.dll to the Include\Addons folder isn't enough, It gives out an unsupported compression method error at the beginning of the installation.

Any ideas about that?

try this witch cls-diskspan.dll in addon folder

I just tried but I get an error in the compiler:

There's a ChineseT.txt however in that folder

Also, I tried making a copy of the ChineseT.txt as ChineseS.txt and I got a similar error for ChineseS.png.

For the time being for testing purpose I just copied the ChineseT files as ChineseS, so I managed to finally compile the setup using the file you supplied.

I'll let you know if it works in a few hours.

OK, Everything seems to be working correctly when I don't have the mentioned compiler error for the "ChineseS" files, that's it until the end of the setup, upon clicking "Finish" I received the following error message (Uninstalling works fine though, I'm gonna check if it happens when I compile the Setup in "external" mode with Setup.bin)

UPDATE

Yep, happen with Setup.bin+Setup.exe as well, it's just annoying though, it doesn't seem to effect installation or un-installation in any way.

Oh, there's also the 2nd annoying popup during uninstall (see 2nd attachment)

cls-diskspanning works?

Yes, it does, just the problems I described in previous 2 posts, the missing files (which I worked around) and the couple attached images in last post.

i really can't reproduce the access violation, can you try without cls-diskspan.dll

I'll try, might take a while though, I'll let you know.

I also have another theory that I intend to test.... The cls-diskspan.dll file I use is one I compressed using UPX to take less space, I want to see if the problem will happen with the original dll file.

UPDATE 1
Testing the different dll files was quite quick, it didn't help though, the access violation error is there no matter which cls-diskspan.dll I use.

Currently trying to test it with files not created with diskspan to see if it happen as well or not, it will take a while.

UPDATE 2
OK, when installing files not created with diskspan but leaving the diskspan dll file in the addon folder I get the same access violation error.

When doing the same thing but without the diskspan dll file in the addon folder at all however the access violation error doesn't happen.

So, basically, it has to do with the diskspan implementation obviously, which weird since other than the access violation error diskspan seems to work fine.

Hmm... I just noticed something, I seem to have somehow, accidentally, copied the cls-diskspan.dll not only to "include/addon" folder but also just to "include" folder, meaning I had it in both "Include" and it's "addon" sub-folder, I removed the one in the "include" and tested again, now the access violation error is gone.

Still, why does it pop-up a message saying "Uninstalling" before it starts to uninstall?

i was trying to fix uninstall bug, can u confirm it is still there or not

EDIT: fixed music bugs. Hopefully!

Attachment 20964

Music bug fixed, but when using equalizer on the small installer and starting the small installer part of setup with music OFF, the equalizer is initially invisible until you click where it should be to start the music again.

As for the "Uninstalling" popup, this is fixed as well.

I have a problem, when I use the latest compiler attachment you posted (http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p...&postcount=184)

When clicking "Cancel" during small installer portion of setup I get a series of errors, I initially thought it's related to new files I added to the addon folder or new entry in arc.ini but that didn't help, only reverting back to original compiler helped.

Furthermore, the setup doesn't quit correctly after these errors, the small installer remain partially on the screen and the setup remains open in task manager.

Images of errors attached below:

Weird, I tested again with a different conversion and those series of errors didn't occur, maybe I had a typo or a missing/extra semicolon somewhere in the extract settings that caused it.

UPDATE:

Yes, yes I did, I had an extra semicolon, sorry.

I'm having a problem installing archive that was created with the UELR external compressor

I've added all needed files to the CIUv2.0.5g Include\Addon folder (cls-uelr.dll, timer.exe) so it will be able to unpack archive created with UELR, problem is I get an error during installation that say something like "archive corrupted decompression fail" (image attached below)

What's the way to get CIUv2 to install UELR archives?

Is it even compatible? or does it require the compiler to be updated for it?

It is compatible (installing ME right now compressed with uelr).

What parameters u have used in uelr?

Default from my Arc.ini file:

the method was something like this:

Have you tried without diskspan and/or delta?

Edit: I don't know if it matters, but i've included Unarc.exe too.

Unarc.exe already exists in the include folder.

From my experience having the same file in the include and the addon subfolder at the same time causes problems.

Anyway, I'll try different combinations of compressors and see.

Has the data any lzo streams at all? I saw that already on some other precompressor which compressed a streamless file and gave exact error.

I believe so, considering the fact that the game is borderlands the pre-sequel and it comes with ue3redist.

The question is: has uelr inflated game size? If not then uelr don't work, but i don't have borderlands so i can't test right now.

Yes, it did. From around 13gb to around 17gb.

Also overall compression ratio is better with it than without

Try with unpack.bat to see if it's CIU related (or try with 2.0.3.9 instead)

OK, placed all uelr unpack files (including the unpack.bat) in the same folder with the compressed files, as well as my srep & diskspan files and my arc.ini and tried the unpack.bat (after editing the file name in it's command).

It hanged for a long time almost at the beginning, after just a few files and eventually crashed unarc.exe

So I guess it's not a CIUv2 problem but rather something with my method combination or the archive was actually created corrupt.

Maybe diskspan is not compatible with uelr? Try to pack/unpack a single file

Nope, no diskspan related, just tested without diskspan and same unarc.exe crash, it seems to always happen after the 5th file extracted, always same file as well.

I'll run a test of UELR alone to see if it's UELR related or one of the other compressors in my method.
