About BlackBox v2
 

I have two issues about BlackBox v2 compiler program.

First of all, if i click anywhere on setup screen while installing(my compiled setup), it will show an error and installation will stop. For example, if i click on left-bottom corner of the setup screen where is there my logo, setup will say "Aboutform.png not found." or if i click on cancel button while installing it will say "Aboutexit.png not found."

But, these png files are exist in the BlackBox v2's folder.

My second question:
------------------------

Slideshow section and video section don't work in/on my BlackBox v2. These sections/buttons are grayed out and i can't click on them.

How do i fix these issues?:confused:

If you help me, i will be appreciate. (Sorry for my bad english.)

hi,
using this designer second time and need help.
please see 3 images attached below and kindly explain how to do settings in marked sections and what are they for ?

i am using below code to compress files :-

and below arc.ini file :-

Kindly help me to upgrade my arc.ini file so that it not show that "precomp.exe has stopped working".

Please solve my all doubts. i just meed compression and extraction tutorial :'(

try starting it as administrator, disable antivirus

second: they dont work, i cant use them soo









what are you doing in arc.ini? since you dont know what you do, dont touch it

main icon: startgame.exe (used for shortcuts, this is in the main game folder, you can also say binaries/win32/startgame.exe this is how the structure works.

same with the second box, just to set more shortcuts

the compressionmethods are used for internal compression. how the setup.exe compresses the files you set in "primary directory".

primary and secondary directory are the pathes to the game you want to compress internaly. for example: C:\programs\mygamesucks

archive: press the add button to get a new row. fill in infos about external packed archives so the setup knows how to handle them.
Method: freearc/7zip/rar (the algorythm used to compress the files, so it can unpack them)
archivename: archivesucks.arc (just the name, so it can find the file to unpack it)
outputdir: just press the "..." button
component: see components later down
disk: sets on which (if any) disk the file can be found
password: if any got set for an archive, put it in
precompversion: precomp version used to pack the files.


components: a component is a subtopic in the installer.
lets say you put a game, soundtrack and an editor in your setup.
then you set each of them a component, so the user can decide which he wants to install.
another example: you know setups filled with chrome toolbars and ask toolbars. they are a component too, which the user can install, but must not.

to get components, click the add button and type a name for the component.
the components are counted in order they were created. means the top one is 1, the last one (if we make three) is number 3.
this numbers must (if set) be put in the archive-tab, to make an archive part of this component.

Hi Adonix! I will explain you that you have asked. But, I don't know all of your questions' answers. Sorry for this situation and my ignorance.

Main Icon File: Actually, not main icon file! This text should be "Main Shortcut". You write the path of game's exe. But you must pay attention to a rule: Don't write full path of game's exe. For example:

Let us assume that there is a bin folder in the game's main folder. And the exe is in this bin folder. So, you write there this:"bin\xxx.exe" (xxx is exe name.)

Main Icon Name: Not important. You don't need to write anything.

Compression Method: In this section includes many kinds of compression methods.According to me, lzma2/ultra64 is the best one.

Disk Spanning: If you use internal compression and if you check this, BlackBox v2 program will compress and split your game into archives.(Setup-1.bin, Setup-2.bin etc...) But, if you use external compression, this section is not important.

For internal compression:
If you check this, you will have two choice:"Slides per disk" and "Disk Slice Size MB" Choose one of them.

Slides Per Disk: Means that how many archives splits BlackBox v2 program your game into. For example,

Slides Per Disk=2 ---> Setup-1.bin and Setup-2.bin

Disk Slice Size MB: Means that every bin files' size. For example:

Disk Slice Size=1000 MB ---> Setup-1.bin=1 gb Setup-2.bin=1 gb etc...

Primary Directory: You write there that your game's location. For example:

C:\Program Files (x86)\The Evil Within

But, after compilation, bin files won't include "The Evil Within" folder. Bin files will include files which are in "The Evil Within" folder.

I don't know other marked sections what are they for. Sorry for about that.

@DrakeMcCain
@skype123,...
thanks guys thnaks,..
also tell me that i am creating .bin file my self, means from other source, so it's external compression ? and if i am write that i am doing external compression so i have to left primary/secondary,compression method,slices all blank ?
and therefore in "archive" tab i have to set that what i have used to compress ?
if possible will you see below code and tell me what will come in achieve tab ?..so it will help me in future also.

@adonix
yes, yes, yes too, yes ,leave the primaries blank if you used only external, yes
you must set it as free arc, 0.38, set the name of the archive+extension ( Data1.bin). you can save you archives as .arc, .book, .telephone if you want. there for i use razors compressor somewhere in this forum.

Please don't use obscene words! No one have due for brawling.:mad:

Please fix these issues on next version:
1)If you click anywhere on the setup screen while installing, it will give an error and installation will stop.
2)Slideshow and video sections are grayed out and doesn't work.:(

Using black box scrip here to create setup : http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=94425

Then use razor compress with method

-mlzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8
- Select Precomp : 0.43

NOTE : i tested this method with 5 game (with size 5gb, 10gb, 17 gb, 27gb, 3gb), i was repack and no error when i run setup, you need use : "Main(Compact.Mode-precomp.0.43).iss" to create setup


I hope can help for you
sorry, i am vietnamese so my english bad ! :)

I think unarc.dll correction is needed.

Hi, thanks for your work ...
I have a repack of a game, packed in three file (Setup-1.bin - Setup-2.bin - Setup-3.bin).
I used the tool "Compressor v1.2.0" -> (precomp 0.38) Method -> -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8

In the tool "BlackBox v2 designer" That compression method should i choose to decompression the file (.bin) the Setup.exe?
In addition, I would like to know if it is possible to change the language of the setup, exe in Italian? -> BlackBox v2 Designer

_________________//Sorry for my bad English

your decrompession will be in External archives (external compression-tab), more specificly "FreeARC".
other languages other than english are currently not supported

thanks ...
To decompress ... I solved by replacing some files precomp.exe, unarc.dll, CLS-precomp.dll etc ...
I have more questions ...
You can add Microsoft Visual C ??
There is no music on off button?
Why can not I add slideshows and videos?


_________________//Sorry for my bad English

I detect a error : when i repack a game, then setup it
while install, if i click on logo to show ripper, the install will stop. if i don't click logo ripper, the install normal until finish

and i have question : i should select method Compress to compress ?; if i used Compress 1.20 razor

yea, your choice about the method

Sorry, i newbie

so, i should select method ??
the best method will work with BlackBox v2 ?

methods in the compressor are sorted from the top to bottom, going down increases data compression and going up decreases data compression.

Having unarc.dll unable to open .bin file
 

Using the external compressor DLG_S precomp 0.43

Grabbed the unarc.dll from the page here and replaced it. gives error code -6..

But able to open the .bin using freearc 666

Any ideas?

Well I think bb Designer have precomp 0.42 version..
so use 0.42 for compressor and designer..

sorry for Bad English

Thank You, been fiddling around with different compressors and the BBV2 itself is 0.42 so when I managed to get it to start unpacking it would say incorrect precomp. Using the provided compressor and BBV2 works like a champ.

well i want to know that. which one is the best compressor method for this installer (.bin) files....
for high compressing ....

What do I have to type into the registry tab to make a registry key that points to the chosen install path ?

that is a brilliant question. dont know if bbv2 simply imports the registry-text typed by the user and then converts it in inno, or if the plain text must be inno.

hey is it possible that 2 icons/exe on the desktop to create ?, and version dosent work.

can you make please that we can change the information i mean "publisher" and Productname and Copyright and "File Version" and co ?

i love your work :D keep going

can anybody plzz show me how to add archives.ini or how define progressbar percentage like 60% to data1.bin and 40% to data2.bin please becoz i hate it when it divides 50/50 please somebody?

Not possible unless if you have the souce, because some people don't understand the calculation part. Therefore, everyone is forced to use equivalent archive progress splits.

Alright then, Thanks

we need a video tutorial in details please help us

hey can i change the uninstall icon ?
