Medal Of Honor (DVD9 to 1x DVD5) *Multi 2 (ENG,FRA)* *Single Player Only*

1) Install the game

2) Extract 'MOH_1xDVD5.7z' contents

3) Copy DVD9 contents to 'MOH_DVD5\MOH' folder

4) Launch Re-compress.exe & wait...

5) Burn or mount iso in 'MOH_DVD5' folder

DVD5 size 3.77 gb

If you want to skip annoying CDKEY insertion, edit localization.ini & add entry:

Code:

---

[CDKEY]
value=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

---

where X=Number or uppercase character

and use custom msi launcher (EAsetup.7z)

Thanks Peter, but why don't u use "for in ()" to precomp files in CookedPC instead 7z it?
It might reduce much time
my steps:
del MP→precomp "CookedPC"→create bat(include decompress pcf,output localization reg,shortcut,etc..)→make 7zsfx&autorun image(folder)→burn

total size:3.47GB


Regards,

care to post how you did this.. detailed info needed ;)

In 7zip sfx archive the files are stored (no compression, so fast).

The true compression sequence is:

Precomp ("decompression" with detection of zlib) -> Freearc -mx -ld800m

I'm a 19yrs old student in Taiwan.

Forgive my poor English and couldn't tell you the process in detail.

1.simply precomp the folder"CookedPC" file by file(slow mode)

2.create a bat to setup the game(similiar to Peter's methods)

3.7zsfx all the folders(m:192mb dict+solid)

I can't tell what obvious diffrences between mine and Peter's.

Sorry for I couldn't give you more info you need, but the result actually smaller by 300mb.

peter you have couple errors in your batch file..

line 8 precomp038 -slow -oMOH_arc MOH_arc.exe ( after completing it says to use -c56 -m78) for faster processing
then right after that completes you delete it ?

line 9 del MOH_arc.exe

but on line 36 you want to move it to MOH dir

line 36 move MOH_arc.exe .\MOH\ >nul

But it's not there to move as its deleted from line 9

end up with 1.87GB ISO file??

Have run it twice now & it ends up the same size both times.

One other question

How do you generate the patch.bin ( i know its with bsdiff/bspatch )
but whats changed in the autorun.dat file ? looking thru both ( original / patched ) they look identical.:confused::confused:

Yep, MOH_arc.exe (7zip sfx archive) becomes MOH_arc.pcf

Its freearc SFX archive that contains MOH_arc.pcf
did you do step 3?
1.87GB is the size of MOH_arc.exe

take a look at the tables CustomAction & installUIsequence

Attachment 1911

Yes i did step #3. In the ISO that was created, /MOHAGame/CookedMovies\*
is the bulk of the size of the ISO. There is no MOH_arc.* file anywhere in the created ISO.

Also you never answered how to create the patch.bin using bsdiff / bspatch. Care to explain how ?

Can you attach in a text file what the 4 lines you added from customaction table are supposed to say?
It has a bunch of garbled symbols in the line and very hard to know if those are supposed to be something specific or spaces ..
Thanks

Below is a screenshot of the created ISO

WEIRD:confused:, it works for me, however try to repeat the conversion, at the 1st batch's pause, copy MOH_arc.exe to another location and then stop the batch (ctrl c). Rebuild the iso with MOH_arc.exe in the root

thanks, will try

EDIT
When it says Everthings fine ? break at that point ?? Because if I do it there and copy over the arc file the resulting ISO is 4.77GB!

EDIT: Had to let it run thru arc a -mx -sfxfreearc.sfx -ld800mb MOH_arc MOH_arc.pcf BUT still BIGGER then your archive ?? ( 2.8GB )

When the install process is completed, before you press finish there's an option to read the readme file. This didn't work for me. However I can open the readme manually, from the installed path in Program Files..

Tested and working 100000% :D :D :D

Thanks once again Peter!!! :) :) :)

Thanks for the extra detailed info

Just a couple more questions :eek:

I've run the re-compress a few times, starting over each time, but i cannot seem to get the archive MOH_arc.exe any smaller then 2.87GB!

Ive run it direct from your EXE also run it from the extracted bat file

changed the line precom038... from -slow oMOH_arc MOH_arc.exe
to precomp038 -c56 -m78 -oMOH_arc MOH_arc.exe

del MOH_arc.exe

arc a -mx -sfxfreearc.sfx -ld800mb MOH_arc MOH_arc.pcf

The resulting ISO is still 4.58GB ?

Also I dont see the subfolder from MOHAGame\CookedPC\shadercache included in the archive? Just the CookedPC folder.

Again thanks for taking the time to supply extra info :cool:

MOH ARCHIVE ( Just running precomp038 )

precomp038 -slow -c56 -m78 -oMOH_arc MOH_arc.exe

for zlib detection and you will get a proper size of archive ;)

MOH_arc.pcf ~ 6.3 gb

shaderC3.cab content is not compressed

"shaderC3.cab content is not compressed" NOT the cab file BUT CookedPC\shadercache FOLDER ( It's NOT included in the MOH_arc.exe file ) !

CookedPC\shadercache contains ShaderC3.cab files,but after conversion ShaderC3.cab is like the original, no need to compress its content in MOH_arc.exe

thanks, think i got it all straight now ;)

peter' or anyone else

How do you create 1kb files? I know robocopy ( XP ) can copy source destination 0kb file, how are your files all 1kb ?

I think it is like this if you are using windows:
http://i54.tinypic.com/28woyvt.jpg
Open Comman Prompt and type in this command, you can use any file extension and file size as you like:
http://i52.tinypic.com/2q8zrxi.jpg
or you can use the NOD32 Dummy File Creator Utility 1.0

I hope it helps.

plexomax, thanks either one of those helps out ;)

Because HIS is ONLY English / French SP! There are more then just those 2 languages that people want to play SP in..

I know that, but peter's is ENG/FRA and those who are requesting that tutorial ask for ENG only conversion, which is already included in ENG/FRA conversion :confused:

Cheers :)

PS: Besides, it´s really easy to download separate audio/text files and you can still put in on 1 dvd5. I´ve done that with peter's conversion, I added spanish texts/voices (300mb), and burned it in 1 dvd. If you replace language files before converting, you can even convert it in the language you want, as long as you keep file names (I overwrote english files with spanish ones, but keeping english file names). Worked flawlessly ;)

make sure the drive you have it on is NTFS if its fat32 thats why it errors, the file will be bigger then 4GB ( fat32 limit )

Your error is becasue its not the CORRECT version!!! ( MSI file mismatch !! )

Marcio J da Silva look in documents for game & see what languages your DVD supports.
If its NOT just English and French then the conversion will NOT work for you ever.

This?

yes you have MULTI3: EN/PL/RU

see this thread for a conversion that works for your version of the game.

http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=90543

recomp038.exe, packjpg_dll.dll, zlib1.dll must be on dvd binaries folder
EASetup.exe is a key reader & custom msi launcher

The last custom action returns an error:

Do you have enough free space on partition?

Moh_arc.exe (7zip sfx archive) is damaged or missing?

edit1:

No need to copy those files

temp folder ( on seperate HD 10GB freespace )

game install drive has 40GB freespace.

in gamefolder its 0 bytes. But thats where the script error came up & aborted install.

On DVD its 1.74GB & extracts pcf file perfectly, manually tho.

Post the snapshot of the game folder after the error

Custom action CA7zip script error -2147024703, : Line 4, Column 1,

run method cannot find MOH_arc.exe or its damaged

and wont you know it... cleaning up temp folder, now it seems to be extracting properly.. I wont post until I try it a couple more times!!! dont want any errors
coming up. and after reading the scripts you posted on page 2 I see it says dontcopy !!
gotta read closer..

I had to extract those 2 custom tables, as orca wouldnt allow me to input them manually. The lines were longer then it would allow. I know im doing something wrong there, but cant figure it out.

thanks for your assistance.

Well couple more questions, regarding the archive & how you got it entered into the 2 tables.

The MULTI8 version 'cookedmovies' folder is HUGE, almost 6GB itself.

Can you tell me, looking at the customaction table, How you managed to add such a long line into the table? Was it thru adjust schema ??

EDIT

Also I need to be able to add a second archive, much like the first for cookedpc, but for cookedmovies. Can another seuqence be added just like
it was added to extract from the moh_arc.exe, maybe just adding a # to the second archive for the second sequence.

IE:

cookedpc --> moh_arc.exe
cookedmovies ---> moh_arc1.exe

Then when it gets to sequence 38 in custom action table, it extracts the first archive.
Does it have to be numbered any different for the next archive????

thanks for your time & explanations :)

no need to compress videos, try this way:

all vp6 video files of languages that you want to delete will replaced with fake vp6 videos in source folder

e.g. for german conversion:

MOH_AltFinale.vp6 -> fake
MOH_AltFinale_ITA.vp6 -> fake
MOH_AltFinale_SPA.vp6 -> fake
MOH_AltFinale_DEU.vp6 -> original
...
...

don't forget to replace the file CookedP3.cab (this file is present only in multi 8 version) with the fake one, because moh_arc.exe already contains the files

OK thanks, i noticed that if you installed any version of the game (multi8), the cookedmovies folder contained also ENG, DEU, ITA, SPA versions of each of the movies. There is only 1 movie that is duplicated for 6 other languages ( other then eng ).

Your game version is not multi 2, you can't use this conversion

Hi, after a hours of compression the iso get ready, but during installation i got this error, any idea why?

http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/1898/sinttulows.jpg

I got a problem here. Everything works as it should except I end up with an ISO that is 7.6GB in size?! What am I doing wrong?

you have the multi2 EN/FR version ? you copied the dvd9 to the 'MOH_DVD5\MOH' folder

in the folder MOH there is already a folder named 'Binaries'
and theres one in the MOH files. so i need to replace the folder?
and which 1 of the folders should be to make the installtion run properly?

Thanks anyway.:D
