can I use only precomp for precsrep?

Freearc -m0 + precomp + Freearc -mx for data1.cab

I dont want to use srep


sorry I m not speak english so good

only use records.inf IF using internal compression ( using ISS script only, no cab files, which means removing the externalsettings from setup.ini )

you want to use precomp + srep...

first create arc file using -m0
then precomp the arc file
then srep the precomp file
finally arc the srep file... look here for instructions using different conversion > step #5

same steps just use the proper name for your game.

Text Display
 

is there a way to show some text information at end of the installation or at the beginning ,some kind'a texts.:o

They can make a custom installer for MVP Caribe 2011

you can add the text file to be displayed at beginning of install, see post here on what to add to autorun.inf

R.G.RAYSIN pack readme.txt among game files, add [Run] section to the script and under it It shows readme.txt after installation

thanks that was the was to show AFTER installing, adding shellexec to autorun.inf is to show BEFORE installing.

one small suggestion is to make the Play button present but grayed in autorun menu

because the two other buttons alone make the menu,I don't know... "Asymmetric"?

thanks again for all your efforts especially in CI8.0

hmm only problem ist, this will make it difficultier for graphicers.
then they would need to make a disabled button :/

I don't know. never been good in the design sense, but I think graphicers would find it annoying to see the place of the Play button empty. or maybe it's just me

whatever you do, I'm sure BAMsE will make the most of it :)

Edit: got an idea. create the button. disable it's function and just change button lable color when it's disabled

am getting this error too right after the splash logo.what should i do.i tried with my archives too.but same error.

do you have adobe flash player installed? :/

napalmguy
good idea...if i find time i will add it.

yes i have flash player installed.am using 64 bit & i have both 32 and 64 bit flash installed.also i tried removing the fonts from setup cab. but one time installer worked without any background images.

[...] ok i got it working when i removed flash.swf,i think flash player problem anyway thanks for your effort, really great script.

Yener90 Thanks for the tutorial and the script are gorgeous

I wanted to ask you how do you add transparency in the box like this:

http://s2.imagestime.com/out.php/i684672_esempio2.jpg

Thanks

Look in setup.cab setup\textbg.png
to make transparent areas likes this i use gimp.
open gimp and create a new image.
set the size of this
now set as color foreground color.
set in layout panel the transparency to 60-70% save it as TextBG.png

I'm sorry I did not understand I should open the image I want to use in gimp then open a new one (the transparent) and put it on?

You have a video tutorial or step by step explanation?

yener can the font be changed or not. coz when i updated the setup.cab with another font the setup just used regular font.y is that.

currently im really busy..
dont have even time to update.
also for the video.

after adding font you need to edit setup.ini and change the font name to your added one.

yener90 with the same
keep trying, hoping to succeed

yener90 how to correct this error?
Instead of SEOGLIA in BROWSE

Another thing like changing the color of the writing of the buttons and the installation?

For this I resolved:
Another thing like changing the color of the writing of the buttons and the installation?

I just have to fix SEOGLIA in SFOGLIA.

ok everything is perfect just one error during installation. am using precomp-srep compression, compressed everything correct but just half through the installation it goes fast and gets error of isdone.dll stating "Error start of the console application precomp038.exe". plz tell me what am i doin wrong.i tried using 038 and 042 also but same error.

did you set PrecompVer correctly?

sorry i didnt understand. you mean in setup.ini file or anything else.

yes its in Setup.ini

New feature of 8.1...currently working on it:
- autorun and installer edited, so you can launch two executable of a game
- custom cursor button
- will update translation

following idea:
by starting the app a tray icon ballon tip will be showed a while:
http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/1813/yesjy.jpg

good idea? i think everybody should know whose the creators/editor of the setup.

What would be the command to the best compression at 042. What makes the switch. -c- as the example above
I'm trying to compress 9GB in 4GB

leo95 there isn't best command to achieve the smallest file - all depends on input file.
-c- parameter disables compression on output file so it is more susceptible to compression by srep

I tried to make the Medal of Honor Airborne on 1 DVD5 and has 1239 files.
The file 9.15gb arc;
as would the decision:
1 - precomp042-intense Data1.arc
2 - srep -m3 Data1.pcf Data1.srep
3 - Compress file compression with FreeArc Data1.srep-mx-ld1600m cab file

This would be the correct procedure?

leo95 the order is correct, also parameters, but:
1. use -c- parameter for precomp (it'll give you bigger output file but better 'srepped/freearced')
2. watch out for parameters given at the end of 'precomping' because they can speed up whole process straightly (i.e. prepare some batch file with 'pause' command at the end to avoid closing cmd window)
3. try to exclude audio/video files from 'precomping' because they aren't 'precompable'

Yes, everybody should know who the creator is, even tho I think most already do know, but yes its still a good idea mate, :)

yes good idea

yaner90 can setup.cab compile with setup.exe and setup give 1 file for install ???(pics of games sit on the setup.exe and no setup.cab) sorry for my english

mehrdad it's possible. Needs a little script changing

when you creat this setup 8.1?

UPDATE 8.1.0
- Play button now appears disabled instead of hiddden (if game not installed)
- Two shortcuts support(Two GDF Binarys also)
(IF YOU DONT NEED IT JUST DELETE THE LINES
MyExecutableIconName2, MyExecutableName2 and MyExecutablePath2 from Setup.ini
also GDFBinary2 too)
- added balloon popup, which shows info about creator/editor(to edit editor section, use Setup.ini)
- autorun shows currently selected language
- custom cursor support

mehrdad
Hmm...including Setup.cab will make you lot of work.
So you would need to define every image and every sound file in the installerscript
Also it would be required two times because of Autorun menu.

Can you help me how can to define every image and every sound file in the installerscript?thanks for CI 8.1
and how can i rename the (CI 8.1.0)to game name when setup starting?

You might put in a percentage progress bar "0% -100%" of the installation?
Sorry my english (Google translator)

yener90 thanks for all your work. as always a crack.

maybe next version...

Hello yener90's

Thank you for developing and sharing the CI ...
I downloaded, I have not changed anything and I test the interface standard is at version 8.1, but it is this way;

What could it be? Even changing the images looks like this ... The autorun is normal.

Thanks and sorry for my bad English, I'm from Brazil.
