Open Main.iss.

1. Add this under #defines:

Code:

#define Publisher "Ubisoft"

2. Find DefaultDirName={{#Dir}}\{#AppName} then change with this

Code:

DefaultDirName={{#Dir}}\{#Publisher}\{#AppName}

Name: full; Description: Full installation; Flags: iscustom

Hi, iam compressing my game with -mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

using Freearc 0.67 alpha, i have included the arc.ini in the script and theres only one file called Data-1.bin

The decompressionj line is

Code:

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 100, ExpandConstant('{src}\Data-1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}\'), notPCFonFLY{PCFonFLY}) then break;

all seems to be normal but when it starts the extraction i got the following errors

when i press ok i get

i am kinda stuck, any help will be much appreciated.

Use this unarc.dll

download and extract attachment, copy and replace the unarc.dll in include folder

The compression method i used is

Code:

-mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

i have also tried copying the unarc.exe and arc.exe from my Freearc bin folder to the include folder but unfortunately it did not helped.

they way i am doing it is:

i browse the main game folder, select all files and folders by pressing Alt+A then right clicking it and cascade menu Freearc===> Add to Archive

during the compression process i have noticed that the precomp version used by Freearc is the 0.42 so i have defined it in the decompression script header as 0.42.

Weird thing is that if i extract the file using the right click options==>Freearc==>Extract Here all works fine and the file get extracted with no error.

Also noticed that selecting all files and folders and using the -m0 then srep (default settings) then Freearc -mx works if i define the decompression lines in the script but the compression ratio is not good as if i use the

Code:

-mprecomp+srep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8

compression chain.

Also if i use the precomp(default settings) before srep compressing manually it seems srep cant do anything with the precomp file so looks like doing it manually is not an option for me.

i am used to scripting but this one is really cracking my head with this error, i have been compressing games since 2001 and i have experience with a lot of compression algorithms (like darkcomp paq*,uha etc) i still use the setup.bat thingy but since it can get some users in trouble because of windows user permissions and UAC and bla bla bla i am moving to Inno and the best stuff i got till now is this script (Faster,Easier etc.).

Anyway, the game i am doing final size is 15gb and compressed i got it to 2.12gb using audio conversion and file injection so i am happy with the size itself hehe, i just need to get rid of this damn error lol.

Best Regards

@D4rkSp4wn

i see, this script has a lot of bugs which i can fix and make them disappear but my hands are tied.

Try that method using the converter, program i created. If it fails, then there's nothing i can do.

@Zocky,

first error is the progress, read up the tutorials i did on the previous page.

thank you very much, downloading and testing your code right now, once tested will let you know my thoughts.
