I will have to fix this in all scripts supported by DiskSpan GUI (Including DSG Extraction Tool).

FIX: Change in script the variable name from "StrLine" to "TmpStr" in line 4029.

It should look like this after changing it.

Code:

Delete(TmpStr, 1, Pos(Separator, TmpStr));

I didn't do tests to check if it is extracting the selected files correctly.
Please report it if it is not working properly.

Hi Cesar82, There is no need to apologize indeed I always thank you for all the work you do!

However, the change you just proposed worked great and I can confirm that everything is now 100% working.

1 - There is no longer the problem of sudden crush or freeze installer.
2 - Now the installer extracts what I select.
3 - In the "Record.ini" file you released there is the wording:

Code:

[Record1]

Type = FreeArc_Original

Source = {src} \ Changelog.arc

Output = {app} \

Disk = 1.2

Size = 32.11 GB



in



Type = Freearc_Original

Source = {src} \ Changelog.arc

Output = {app} \

Disk = 1.2

Size = 32.11 GB

Where "Type = FreeArc_Original" is wrong for it to work I had to change to: "Type = Freearc_Original".

4 - In the "Settings.ini" file that you released there is the wording:

Code:

[TasksSettings]

Enable = 0

FlatPageMode = 0

ShowTaskSize = 1



Task1.Name = Language

Task1.ItemType = GROUP

Task1.Size = 0

Task1.Level = 0

Task1.Checked = 1

Task1.Enabled = 1



Task2.Name = cm: EN

Task2.ItemType = RADIO

Task2.Size = 500 mb

Task2.Level = 1

Task2.Checked = 1

Task2.Enabled = 1

The Italian Task is missing and the words "Task2.File = 1" under Task2.ItemType = RADIO / CHECK example:

Code:

Task2.Name = cm: EN

Task2.ItemType = RADIO

Task2.File = 1

Task2.Size = 500 mb

Task2.Level = 1

Task2.Checked = 1

Task2.Enabled = 1

For everything else I think it's all right, I hope I have been of help! and thanks again for all the work you do guys, and sorry for the time I stole from you! good summer to you too.

As for the "Task2.File = 1" just delete it.

I forgot to remove this from Settings.ini

So is this a superfluous code? that is, can it be eliminated without any problem? perfect Thanks again bro!

It should work the same way.
Maybe there was some TAB character on the Type= line.
DiskSpan GUI generates records.ini with FreeArc_Original and other users always install games using FreeArc_Original without problems.
It is not case sensitive the type name, see that the script was used LowerCase that leaves everything in lowercase during the comparison.

Code:

function ConvertDataType(sType: String): Integer;

begin

  case Trim(LowerCase(sType)) of

    LowerCase('FreeArc_Original') : Result := ARC_SIMPLE;

    LowerCase('7-Zip_Original')   : Result := ZIP_SIMPLE;

    LowerCase('WinRAR_Original')  : Result := RAR_SIMPLE;

    LowerCase('FreeArc_Split')    : Result := ARC_MERGED;

    LowerCase('7-Zip_Split')      : Result := ZIP_MERGED;

    LowerCase('WinRAR_Split')     : Result := RAR_MERGED;

    LowerCase('Split')            : Result := SPLIT_PART;

    LowerCase('Delta')            : Result := DELTA_FILE;

  end;

end;

It was supposed to be used to ignore the lines of group type items, but was discontinued before it became public.

Is it possible to get ASIS to have an additional component "level"? For some packs I'm working on, I'm offering optional pre-modded configurations, where the components, in an ideal scenario would look something like:

Code:

|- Main Files

|- Selective videos

    |-> Lossless

    |-> Lossy

|- Modded Content

    |->Type X of Mod

        |->Offering A

        |->Offering B

But I can't seem to figure out which part(s) require tinkering to make this possible.

You must use Tasks to do this.
Use the key level to shift items to the right 15 pixels for each value 1 incremented in the key level.
LEVEL 0 = 0 PIXEL
LEVEL 1 = 15 PIXELS
LEVEL 2 = 30 PIXELS
ETC

Code:

[TasksSettings]

Enable=1

FlatPageMode=0

ShowTaskSize=1



Task1.Name=Main Files

Task1.ItemType=CHECKBOX

Task1.Size=500 mb

Task1.Level=0

Task1.Checked=1

Task1.Enabled=0



Task2.Name=Selective videos

Task2.ItemType=GROUP

Task2.Size=0

Task2.Level=0

Task2.Checked=1

Task2.Enabled=1



Task3.Name=Lossless

Task3.ItemType=RADIO

Task3.Size=600 mb

Task3.Level=1

Task3.Checked=1

Task3.Enabled=1



Task4.Name=Lossy

Task4.ItemType=RADIO

Task4.Size=300 mb

Task4.Level=1

Task4.Checked=0

Task4.Enabled=1



Task5.Name=Modded Content

Task5.ItemType=GROUP

Task5.Size=515 mb

Task5.Level=0

Task5.Checked=0

Task5.Enabled=1



Task6.Name=Type X of Mod

Task6.ItemType=GROUP

Task6.Size=0

Task6.Level=1

Task6.Checked=0

Task6.Enabled=1



Task7.Name=Offering A

Task7.ItemType=RADIO

Task7.Size=200 mb

Task7.Level=2

Task7.Checked=0

Task7.Enabled=1



Task8.Name=Offering B

Task8.ItemType=RADIO

Task8.Size=100 mb

Task8.Level=2

Task8.Checked=0

Task8.Enabled=1

You can replace RADIO with CHECKBOX if you give users the choice of installing "Offering A" + "Offering B" together.

Records.ini for the above example

Code:

[Record1]

Type=Freearc_Original

Source={src}\Main_Files.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=500 MB

Task=1



[Record2]

Type=Freearc_Original

Source={src}\Lossless.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=600 MB

Task=3



[Record3]

Type=Freearc_Original

Source={src}\Lossy.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=300 MB

Task=4



[Record4]

Type=Freearc_Original

Source={src}\Offering_A.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=200 MB

Task=7



[Record5]

Type=Freearc_Original

Source={src}\Offering_B.bin

Output={app}\

Disk=1

Size=100 MB

Task=8

@L33THAK0R, if you use ASIS together with DiskSpan GUI the DiskSpan GUI 2.0+ settings in "Resources\DSG_Settings.ini" for the KaktoR example above (Part related tasks) will look like this.

Code:

[Game1Settings]

//... others game configs

Data1.Name=Main_Files-01.bin

Data1.Tasks=1

Data2.Name=Lossless-01.bin

Data2.Tasks=3

Data3.Name=Lossy-01.bin

Data3.Tasks=4

Data4.Name=Offering_A-01.bin

Data4.Tasks=7

Data5.Name=Offering_B-01.bin

Data5.Tasks=8

@Cesar82 @KaktoR thank you so much for your time, however I think I've wasted your efforts (hopefully these instructions will be useful to future users), as I'm a stubborn bastard, still using v7.2.0 of the script, as such I'm not able to use "tasks" to accomplish my goal. However after looking through the script a bit, I think I've figured out the section(s) that I need to look at. Once again sorry to have bothered you lads, thank you for all the help you've given so far!

I am still having issues relating to the Start Menu part of the script.
https://i.ibb.co/zmB8nMR/image.png
This is just an example. Even when the option to not make one is checked, it still makes them when the installer is finished. Is there any way I can fix this, or at the very least remove the checkbox?

Thanks for reporting.

Here is a fix for this

The problem was that all the icons were linked to desktop shortcut checkbox and the startmenu checkbox had literally no effect.

Thank you! The fix works fine on the latest version of ASIS. I do have another question though, is there anyway I can insert this fix into an older version of it, like 7.2.0? I use 7.3.1 and 7.2.0, and I flip-flop between versions for testing. 7.3.1's has too much added stuff compared to 7.2.0, so it's hard to see what line I would have to change to add this fix to 7.2.0.

Unfortunatelly not supported anymore, because the system creating icons changed since then.

I uploaded a hotfix for the "expression error" if you run the installer in compact mode and it finished.

Problem was that the installer tried to create startmenu shortcuts and failed, eventough this shouldn't be the case in compactmode (however the installation is done succesfull and desktop icons were created).

My previous fix for the shortcuts was just tested in normalmode, sorry for that :D

UPDATE: Realised I might be able to do a bit of a botched fix using batch scripts, its a bit fucky but thankfully I don't repack collections structured like this often!

Hi all,

Got a small question regarding whether my proposed solution could work at all (I'm terribly new to pascal/delphi). I've got a fair few packs that feature selective, multiple-title offerings to the end-user, each with their own, separate executable to launch from (since some are emulated and require a small script to launch the ROM), as well as their own entry under the shortcut section of the "Settings.ini" file used in ASIS (baked into a executable thats just a batch script wrapped in an exe). My issue is that regardless of the component selection, upon extraction of all selected archives, all desktop shortcuts defined within the "settings.ini" are generated (should the option be selected).

My current thought process is using the "RemoveShortcut" function, in the Post-install section of the script to delete the shortcut, if a given .txt file is missing (which would be packed with a given selective offering), like so:

Code:

    

#if ("{app}\_CommonRedist\APPS\APP_1.txt" == "0") && ("{userdesktop}\APP_1.lnk" == "1")

 #for {i = 1; Trim(ReadIni(SourcePath + "\Settings.ini", "Executable" + Str(i), "ShortcutName", "")) != ""} RemoveShortcut

#endif

#if ("{app}\_CommonRedist\APPS\APP_2.txt" == "0") && ("{userdesktop}\APP_2.lnk" == "1")

 #for {i = 2; Trim(ReadIni(SourcePath + "\Settings.ini", "Executable" + Str(i), "ShortcutName", "")) != ""} RemoveShortcut

#endif

However upon testing this both shortcuts were removed even when installing only one of the selected components. Does anyone have any idea why this might be?

All times are GMT -7. The time now is 13:10.
