great job!
can you add diffrent eula for each language please?

Possible, it'll take time though, i'm busy with other conversions

Cheers

Compile error, can not find file...
 

2. Move directx, vc folders and physx setups from game's folder to DVD4/Redist folder in conversion.


Is best to copy these folders rather than move them as I compiled, took 1hr 30m , got to end and displayed error, couldnt find a directx file - because i had moved it as per instructions part 2. So had to start again!

Thanks though, looking good on - in process...

Technically you can have directx not found error in INNO. If there's no redist, INNO will skip to install them.

thanks mate http://www.swngz.com/images/smilies/...sv5/KnkyAb.gif Tested and working Win7 x64 on English

Further compresssion
 

With all DLC's and latest update I'm getting a 6 disk result. Can I increase the compression in INNO script to get 4 disks? Currently its a full disk (5) and 591mb (6) over, which is alot and Im doubtful that more compression can be applied...?

Thanks :)

lzma2/ultra64 will get you a 4-DVD result, but only after you edit DLCs' sfar files. Basically, you want to remove all voices except English from them. Meaning, when you edit a sfar, mark the following for deletion:

- to delete French voices: *FRA.afc and *FRA.pcc.
- to delete Italian voices: *ITA.afc and *ITA.pcc
- to delete German voices: *DEU.afc and *DEU.pcc

You may also remove these from your main Mass Effect 3 content, but that doesn't require editing SFARs. What you definitely must edit is From Ashes, Leviathan, Omega and Citadel. What you must NOT edit is the Multiplayer DLCs as they get verified online!

6 disk ? compression none 5xDVD5

Mass Effect 3 + All dlc + 1.5 update eng only 19gb

did you remove all extra languages except the one you want from Mass Effect 3\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole folder too ?

Same for german conversion.

Go to GameDir\BIOGame\CookedPCConsole and delete all other languages you don't want except the *.tlk files! Otherwise you get crypted fonts InGame!

People, base ME3 content trimming is NOT ENOUGH! I can't stress this enough: grab ME3 DLC Explorer and edit .sfar's for Extended Cut, From Ashes, Leviathan, Omega and Citadel! It will trim their sizes by half, resulting in much smaller size of the game overall!

EDIT: Apologies for leaving Extended Cut out of that list.

Since I have already burned my previous Mass Effect 3 conversion with all the dlcs released before Citadel dlc.Can someone create a separate conversion for the citadel dlc so that it fits in a dvd5.

if you use walton method,here is the tools..no need search web

Thanks for that, I was too lazy to post it myself. :D

Thanks to @WaltonSimons for sharing the info about DLC content trimming and @senseman for sharing the ME3 Explorer with us.

Results from my end:
You can find detailed guide about Language Trimming HERE!

V2.20:

After 448th download
- Updated game size values
- Updated redist value
- Updated GDF Binary values
- Added 5th DVD folder

Now compatible with latest Citadel DLC, however it's 5DVD5 instead 4.

It's not, if you decrease DLCs' sizes. ;) It's still 4 DVD then!

so file in post #1, is actually 220 not 211 ?

It is, because i didnt mention any DLC editing which i find useless and most of the users of fileforums wont comprehend how to do it.

Fucking typos... Fixed it, thanks for notification pakrat

yea, hate it when i do that too LOL :)

Want the title changed?

It can be like this if letter limit allow it:

Mass Effect 3 - 5xDVD5 [1 LANG + ALL DLCs incl CITADEL + INNO SETUP + TRILOGY COMPATIBLE]

Thanks

You should've said it sooner, I'll prepare a tutorial! ;)

thanks will wait for guide, then can finally get the complete version off my HD ;)

Guide done. I posted it separately because it can help with every conversion, not just this one.

Hmm, I went ahead and deleted all foreign languages in DLC but size is still 5DVDs.

read post #9 too

I did, still around 1GB oversized, trying lzma2/ultra64 compression now.

I have to remove all the MP DLCs to achieve 4DVDs

You need to remove the foreign languages from the base content too, not just DLCs.

Same key as in the guide, meaning: _FRA/_ITA/_DEU.afc/pcc in CookedPCConsole.

Do I need to to delete _ITA.afc/pcc files in the CookedPCConsole that came with the Citadel dlc too ?

simply yes.. depending on how many languages you want to keep ingame. delete same ones in CookedPCConsole + DLC. follow guide > http://fileforums.com/showthread.php...465#post415465

Thanks for another excellent conversion, REV0

As with Mass Effect 2, there is one key of the registry section of the script that is not written, because it checks for Component3FAE

- V2.20 - After 470th download
- Updated one single regkey

4-dvd possible without removing anything. 8GB RAM required.
Compression=LZMA2/ULTRA64
LZMAUseSeparateProcess=yes
LZMANumBlockThreads=2
LZMADictionarySize=262144
LZMABlockSize=262144

Change Disc Slice to 1546188226

@kokousic

I'm sorry, but that's bull. A conversion that'd require more RAM than the game itself to make? Why don't we use KGB archiver and fit it on a 1.44 MB floppy disk while we're at it? :P LOL

My point is that compression settings should take into account that the hardware we own is meant to satisfy the game's needs, not e.g. 3DS Max's or something :P

please anyone know the music bakcground name

How about the next time you visit you actually READ THE RULES!!!!

are there any non geek instructions?

Do NOT QUOTE ENTIRE FIRST POST !!!

Install INNO Unicode version ( google it ). Then follow the instructions in the first post.
if you don't understand, then goto conversion tutorial subforum & READ the sticky topics
from this one.
