Thanks Mikey.
Can someone give code & explain it (Precomp+Srep+FreeArc) for high compression ?

Did you even tried it out?
it already supports it.

Thanks Yener90,for creating this CI.

I used it but I was able to compress a 100 Mb game to 88 Mb only:confused:,but I saw 50-60% compression ratios from others using same method but the code and data might not be same.So,I need code for good compression ratios and explain it,so that I don't trouble every time.

Some games (ex Dead island with all dlc has around 7-8 gigs but compressed with INNO gets around 3 gigs -eng only-) and other games (ex latest transformers can' be compressed more than already is).
even if you use Srep; Precomp, etc you won't get a noticeable difference.

oh and yener's CI has a moderate compression selected (for best compression use Lzma2/Ultra64 settings)

Thanks,I'll work with different game,may be I can notice the difference.

During Installation it is giving a message insert disc 1.I used Precomp,so I added "PrecompVer=038" to "Install Options" and my Extraction Settings are
"FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1 ;PrecSrep:1".

What went wrong ?

pakrat2k2

20-09-2012 05:21

precompver=038 needs to be precompver=0.38

was discussed earlier in thread --> http://fileforums.com/showpost.php?p...&postcount=166

Thanks Yener installed the game at last,but I have a question should I include .cab game file while compiling or not,if not what should be written here
#ifdef ProgramFiles
Source:D:\Data1.cab; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs createallsubdirs; Excludes: unins*; Check: FreeArcError;
#endif

If I compress with FreeArc using this code

Code:

-ld1600

has a problem with the CI Yener?

Hi Yener is it possible to compress data as arc,precomp,srep,cab and include it in .bin and at time of installation extract .cab from .bin and script should also extract srep and precomp files,which at last gives required data in required directory.

Where I can download HIGH QUALITY (min. 720p) wallpapers (used as backgrounds) without watermarks (like IGN or something). I address this question to the conversion makers (senseman, yener90, REV0, peterf1999, Fabioddq and other). Do you have a site from where you ALWAYS download backgrounds or do you use Google Images or look on the web form random sites.

Here is a question, How do I intergrate the setup.ini that I get from the program into my INNO code??? Its really frustrating me!

How can you make the SystemTest included, detect Windows 8 also? I get a green bar on Operating System, but no Operating System is written on the green bar.

Small Graphics Issue

1 Attachment(s)

Great work Yener.

I just have one small graphical problem. If I place my button on the installer screen (not autorun screen) close to the top, then when the game is installing a button pops up every now and then in the small installer window.

Please see the installer i'm currently busy with for my shogun 2 game.

It's actually Joe Vargas (not Joe Garcia) and yeah I know it's him. Gonna change his head and put a Samurai on it just as soon as I get this problem with the button solved. Got this pic of the net and I know i need to change it.

How's this one...?

It seems that no one knows how to use freearc :(

Too bad for me.

Oh, both member also from wbb......

@pakrat

Well....I know where it is. But...nvm.

Thanks anyway.

It looks like I will keep using other program for repacks without any compression since I don't know how to highly compress with freearc.

Cheers

@senseman

Thanks for sharing that. Looks nice

I have question about this:

Quote:

if you use Setup.cab:
http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/6...nvsetupcab.jpg

if you use internal:
http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/9...nvinternal.jpg

What is the difference between 1st and 2nd.

Or maybe I just have some bug, because no matter what I do I always need Setup.cab and Setup.ini file with Setup.exe,dll and with bin file.

To Enable Internal I need to remove ";" before ";#define Internal", am I right.....using unicode version, right.

Or am I wrong.

Thank You

youre correct but you need to remove also on langscript.iss then it works.

Thanks yener, somehow I missed that :D

Also, how do I convert to srep....

I need to move file over srep.exe, right or.....

A lot of THANKS to BAMsE.

I understand a lot now about compression.

But I'm sure I will have more questions :eek:

Cheers

EDIT:

When I try to compress pcf with srep I get .pcf.srep extension....What now, that is not good, right.

20-10-2012 07:02

Is there any way to make a button on a autorun menu to browse a custom made folder (named Extras for example) on the disc? I like to put some extra stuff (soundtracks, wallpapers, etc.) on my custom made discs so it would be nice to be able to access them through autorun menu instead of going to the disc. Thanks in advance, yener ;)

Yes, not good. At all steps the filename should be the same, only extension should be different. Just rename output file to match the mentioned syntax. But... why do you want to use old precsrep method when CI supports merged (one step) precsrep? All you need you'll find here

NamelessOne good idea :)

I've forgot to read that thread, maybe I was lazy because there is 60 pages, but will find time to read it For sure.

Thanks again, if I have another question will ask again, But will read first.

Regards

EDIT:

Forget to ask, it says that I need to put files......in one folder in setup.cab....

Name of that folder doesn't matter or I need to put it inside setup folder or what.

And about OUTPUT_ARCHIVE_NAME - it should be Data.cab, am I right....

BAMSE, how to compress videos.bik?
I have the program RAD Video Tools, but i dont know how to use. I want to compress the videos I am Alive.
It is easier to direct the program or bat file?

Newbie

20-10-2012 09:26

@kassane

What you mean "but I can not use right".....

Under Compression settings you have - compress to a % of the original.....

I use this usually.

And program batch also works fine.

Put them all together, no matter where, these files are needed to prepare strong compressed (precomp+srep+arc) archives. OUTPUT_ARCHIVE_NAME can be any string and it will be name of created archive. Just remember to edit setup.ini and add its name to [ExtractSettings] section

kassane just point to file you want to convert, use Bink it! button and set desirable options like %, width and height of output file

im currently optimizing script -> button creating will be 80% easier for me :p
-> i will create custom buttons on autorun
like browse cd read readme manual

Compressing what? Or maybe uncompressing? What method of compress? Files version?

kassane

21-10-2012 06:01

I was compressing the files of the game, the bat file code:

Code:

arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ Data\Data1.cab -mprecomp:v+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "PATH TO BE COMPRESSED"

Then it happened ... What was the mistake?

BAMsE

21-10-2012 07:59

Probably wrong version of some compressor file or absence of arc.ini. You need arc.exe (0.67), precomp.exe plus its files (0.4.2), srep.exe (3.0) and arc.ini included in yener90's setup.cab. This ini must be placed in the root of your setup.cab too

kassane

First: don't quote previous post

Second: you need to add to your setup.ini the following line

Code:

[InstallOptions]

PrecompVer=inside

Should be OK

kassane

21-10-2012 13:53

yes, I added this line in setup.ini:

Code:

[InstallOptions]

PrecompVer=0.42

Because of this error occurs!

Code:

[InstallOptions]

PrecompVer=inside

And if you are disabled, another error that occurs is the SREP!
