Alan Wake
(2x DVD5) *INNO+Srep+FreeArc(LZMA)* or (1x DVD5) Biks Resampling

1) Extract 'AW_2xDVD5.7z' contents

2) From 'Alan Wake' folder, create 'Data1.bin' archive:

3) Remove the foreign languages files from 'data' folder (ep999-000-XX.bin,ep999-000-XX.rmdp) except ep999-000-en.bin,ep999-000-en.rmdp files and then from 'Alan Wake' folder create 'Data2.bin' archive:

4) Move from Game's installation folder to 'Alan Wake\Disk1' folder :

5) Burn or make isos with label names of your choice


1x DVD5 conversion needs to replace the original videos with resampled biks at ~45% bitrate.

Hello,

You are right
I just tried to resampled some videos at 40%, 30MB and up files only (didn't touch files from dlc's folder, just main video) and I got 4.3 GB using only FreeArc -mx (full support to two languages)

Thanks for your work.

i didn't understand
2) From 'Alan Wake' folder, create 'Data1.bin' archive:

Code:

e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\*" -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\thirdparty\*" -msrep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8 "C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\*"

3) Remove the foreign languages files from 'data' folder (ep999-000-XX.bin,ep999-000-XX.rmdp) except ep999-000-en.bin,ep999-000-en.rmdp files and then from 'Alan Wake' folder create 'Data2.bin' archive:

Code:

e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk2\Data2.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainmen

pics please

Update
 

Added the percentage text on the progress bar during internal/external files copy.

Hm.. For me, Data1.bin is ~7.1GB and Data2.bin is ~2.1GB..

Not sure what went wrong as I got no error messages. Can you double check what's in the code tag works as you intended..?

@d00m3d

Put compress.bat in 'alan wake' conversion folder and then run it.

Update 2:
Now the installer supports the videos and as well the images slideshow during installation time

Thank you for the .bat to simplify the procedure, but I redid everything and it worked. Not sure what I had done wrong :P

can someone tell me how to Resample videos ?

orry I wanted to ask if the game creates a key in the registry because when I go to uninstall and then reinstall it tells me the autorun and Uninstall play is on.
What is the directory that it creates in the registry?

lupetto77 you need to uninstall from original instalation before trying from dvd5 conversion.

Sorry my fault I was solved. :) -

What is the final size?

2x dvd5=6.56 gb

I mean the size in 1x DVD5 peter :rolleyes:

read post #2.. mhcvel stated he used freearc with resampled biks and got it down to 4.3GB

you cant its closed source for this setup.

you want to change images during install go see bamse's installer for alan wake

I downloaded the 2 joint pieces, i put the compress.bat on my "alan wake" installed folder, and i followed the inscrution on the CMD window and compression is done succefully (take about 1 hour) and finally got [Disk1/Data1.bin (3.65Mo) it's Mega not Giga] and [Disk2/Data2.bin (3.05 Go)] and many files outside theses Disk1 & Disk2 folders ! the size of all is: 11.6 Go!

How do i procede please ?

karimazwaw, NEVER extract into your game folder always a temp folder. you d/l the 2 joint pieces, extract them into same temp folder, then run the updated compress.bat ( from d/l #2... original post #1 & second part from post #7 )

Youd take DISK1 and burn its contents to dvd#1 then DISK2 contents burn that to dvd#2. REMOVE from game folder, uninstall original game, reinstall from dvd5 converted disks anytime after that.

BaMse topic is here & works perfectly... take longer as you reencode biks, but works fine, ALL on 1dvd5 in 1 language.

Conversion works with 1.05.16.5341 update

Can someone tell me howto extract files in those *.bin files?

there created with freearc, so open with same.

But when I want to extract it, that give me error message.

HIBA: "D:\DVD_2\Setup-2c.arc" fájl nem archívum vagy hibás: a fájl végéből hiányzik az archívumjelző bejegyzés. Az "r" parancs kijavítja a fájlt, a -tp- opció figyelmen kívül hagyja a sérülésvédelmet.

In English:

Error: "D:\DVD_2\Setup-2c.arc" the file is not an archive orr corrupted: the archive entry from the end of the file is missing. Command r repair the file, -tp- option ignore the injuryprotection. The file was created with srep + precomp + arc with batch file.

why try to manually extract, just use fixed setup.exe from post #7

Hy thank you for your help, to tell you the truth i want to compress other game's files with this batch file similarly from that reason I want to know it's proper method.

I do not understand how to do step two: (e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\*" -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\thirdparty\*" -msrep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:l c8 "C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\*")......help me pleasure.

grab files from post #1 & post #7.. then run the compress.bat. It'll ask for game dir
you enter it in & it does te rest for you.

Now I have the data2.bin data1.bin and now I do with that? because the tutorial does not specify anything, help ...

depending on the sizes of those files you'll probably end up with 2xdvd5. ( unless you resampled biks, then all fits on 1xdvd5 )

dont forget step #3 ( remove extra languages you dont want before you made data2.bin )

step #4 MOVE from games installed folder to 'Alan Wake\Disk1' ( from extracted archive, post #1 )

'thirdparty' folder & 'videos' folder .

Already did, when installed does not ask the dvd2, and I get this error: (Not an SREP compressed files)....(An error occured when unpacking. Unarc.dll returned an error code: -1 ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails). :(

Can you please upload the script
 

Can you please upload the script so that i can change the pics and make another installer
Even I get this error: (Not an SREP compressed files)....(An error occured when unpacking. Unarc.dll returned an error code: -1 ERROR: archive data corrupted (decompression fails).

Peter's in closed source, so if you don't like the images etc, use a different conversion.
