Hunted The Demon's Forge (1x DVD5) *INNO+FreeArc*

1) Extract 'HTDF_1xDVD5.7z' contents

2) Re-encode the biks videos to a ~ 40-45% bitrate of original ones and then move them to 'HTDF_DVD5\MOVIES' folder

3) Launch FreeArc and then compress the Game's installation folder contents:

Code:

Output archive: HTDF

Compression: -mx -ld800m

Make exe: Not checked

4) Move 'HTDF.arc' to 'HTDF_DVD5' folder

5) Burn or make iso with label name of your choice

Yep,don't re-encode and then move them in the 'HTDF_DVD5\MOVIES' folder.
Obviously using this way it doesn't fit on dvd5, the final size will be around ~ 5.20 gb

The original movies folder is Hunted the demons forge\DFGAME\MOVIES
In this Conversion Hunted the demons forge\MOVIES
root problem? Only Move Movies folder to DFGAME folder

after re-encoding the biks move them to the HTDF_DVD5\MOVIES folder. The setup.exe
expects them in that folder.

just like the instructions say ;)

make a DFGAME folder first, then the MOVIES subfolder. See if it installs correctly that way?

that way creates errors in instalation ,,,,,,,,,, now works 100% but mi freearc archive includes the original movies folder :) and the movies folder in the dvd structure contains dummy bik files ...

I tried installing the Peter's way and it works! I just only need to move Movies folder to DFGame folder then the movies work well. :cool:

But Peter, what's your final size?
my arc size is 3.87 GB and re-encoded movies 700 MB. So total size is 4.47 GB (doesn't fit on 1xDVD5). I convert the movies to 40% of original size, and remix all audio tracks back into reencoded biks. :confused:

@dudul search game's folder for *fra.*, *.fra, *esn.*, *.esn files (and so on, leave only your lang, *int.*, *.int are english ones) and delete them. It's ~220MB per one lang

I have a question, I delete the other languages (INT,DEU,ESP,FRA) file and folder; each languages i clear 220 MB, for a total of 880 MB.
In this way, i tought initially, i can leave the original video (due to a lot of time spent to convert the video).
But the arc file is 3.70 gb !!! Why? (I obliviusly move the MOVIES folder before compress)

EDIT : I have another problem, i leave the original idea of foreing languages, and i re-encode the bik file. The conversion work, the game install correctly but i can't see the video, simply the video was skipped in a shortly black screen.
I put the folder "MOVIES" , content the re-encoded video, in the folder HTDF_DVD5 , togheter the file already exist and the the file HTDF.arc, and then I create the ISO. What is the error?
In the original install directory the folder MOVIES is in the folder DFGAME; i try to create this folder in a ISO's root, but i receive an error during installation (the folder MOVIES isn't founded)

Need some help fast... hope the Setup.exe is also for x86 or x32bits...

Does somebody here test what he does or not? :/

Solved it or fixed it! :) (I put 2 synonyms for others that have this error and doesn't know how to fix that...

Need to change your screen resolution in windows to a classic one, example 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x720, 1280x768 (this is the resolution that i use and i did received that error message, because i have 16/9 monitor and with this resolution i see 4/3... in other words: to do not see game persons fat or large...
