thanks this is it I looking for!!
EDIT : one question : "vistas" file is a language or data file?

data file

support folder from original DVD or from where we installed the game?

From the original DVD

Revo in 1DVD you tried or not is possible

No, it's not possible

If you want to keep all the languages on ​​2XDVD5, change the line in Installer Script Compression = lzma to Compression = lzma2/ultra64 ,after that game will fit on 2XDVD5 with all languages but conversion and installation will take a little longer!!
On Win 7 Ultimate,CPU I5 2500 Ghz,RAM 6GB,conversion ~ 60 min.,installation ~ 15 min.

//FreeArcFile1={src}\Data1.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;

hello revo that has this command line? not affect the installation? in setup.ini

chester444 this line is "commented" by "//" so it doesn't matter for the installation, also this conversion uses internal compression and doesn't need such line

what he said :p

What we compile with then ,you usually put compiler in with files and not now

How I can do to make the desktop shortcut contains the command -offline ? (I mean during the conversion and install the game) :confused:

You can ! Just manually after installation!

It's possible add before the conversion under [Icons] in InstallerScript.iss:

Name: {group}\{code:GetAppName}; Filename: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath}\{code:GetMyAppExeName }; WorkingDir: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath}; Check:FirstExecCheck; Parameters: "-offline";
Name: {userdesktop}\{code:GetAppName}; Filename: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath}\{code:GetMyAppExeName }; WorkingDir: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath}; Check:FirstExecCheck; Parameters: "-offline";

I just installed the game, but the shortcut does not stick with the command -offline. I'd like to add this too -offline -language spanish .
I'll try the conversion again, maybe put something wrong in InstallerScript.iss

Why are you torturing yourselves, really ? Download RELOADED's language switcher, it comes with DX11 selection and also enable/disable offline mode. Adding editing commands in INNO Setup... waste of time, download the switcher and launch it, it wont be harder than compiling conversion over and over again.

Besides game launch already in offline mode and languages are selectible via game's menu, you dont need commands to do them;

Launch the game - options - language ;)

Ok .. sorry. did not want to disturb. just wondering, I was curious only.

No harm done, and i was trying to explain the easier way,

Cheers

Yep, anyway Btx is putting the parameter (-offline) in the wrong place. :p

HAHAHAHA: - this tide a bit .. lol ... what would be the solution to my error? HAHAHAHA!:D:D:D:D:D

1xDVD5? Possible:)
Compress biks they are hidden in:
common.dat file :)
(can be open with dragon unpacker)
you also delete map editor :)

I'm playing the game and didnt see a massive amount of bik files, in fact there's only one, and that's the one you saw beginning of the game.

It's not worth the effort.

Biks are more than 1 about 10 :)

I did not remove any langage file and conversion fit on 2 dvds.
DVD1=4.29GB
DVD2=3.54GB

Thanks REVO for all your effort.

thats already been repacked using different inno script, so why repack again?

Resample Videos and remove other languages. And it could fit to 1xdvd5
then arc-m0>pcf-slow>srep-m3f>arc-mrep+delta+exe+lzma:max:1gb

Without removing any language.

DVD 1 = 4.34 gb
DVD 2 = 3.54 gb

Fabioddq Thanks for the help with the shortcut, it worked perfect!

REV0: I do not have these files in it and the game goes perfectly:
data_win32/worlds/multicommon/multicommon_vistas.dat + .fat
&
data_win32/worlds/fc3_main/fc3_main_vistas.dat + .fat

IMPORTANT!
The register entries are added to the installation (for future updates to the game will recognize)???

Regkeys are fine, i think, new update came out today, test the conversion with it.

I can do the conversion with patch v1.2 ???

sure you can , the patch V1.2 just replaces files with newer versions. shouldnt be a big deal.

And the update install with this?

yep

my pc goes down when the installation starts, as did the tutorial, already tried twice and it's always the same .....

Thanks for your excellent conversion.

For some reason i need execute the game from "farcry3_d3d11.exe" in pc W7 x64 + ati
Thanks

can i put dlc and update 1.0.0.2[latest one] and then do conversion?

also how to resample bik and make it in 1xdvd5[ like resampling all bik files to 720p]?

and also what does this mean-
"Resample Videos and remove other languages. And it could fit to 1xdvd5
then arc-m0>pcf-slow>srep-m3f>arc-mrep+delta+exe+lzma:max:1gb"
???????

you can, but check regkeys first and update them if necessary

You're supposed to use a program, however i didnt say such an instruction in the thread.

Have no idea, i didnt say such an instruction in thread, you sure you're writing correct place ?

I know why he whats to do that, is cuz when u launch the game even if the game is installed in spanish configuration the game interface is still on english, the audio works in spanish but all the text is on english, so the only ways to get all the game in spanish is running every time the languaje selector or adding -offline -language spanish to the shorcut, so for those that want spanish straight for the begining need to do this manualy every time, so i ask too

is any way to do what he wants from the instalation?

yes, add under [ICONS] section of Installerscript.iss ( FIND the correct line ) add Parameters: "-offline -language spanish" to the end of the line(s) for the correct shortcut. ( need to look in setup.ini for which one it is, if more then 1 shortcut listed in setup.ini)

OR add RELOADED's language switcher, to the setup.ini to add it as another exe to create shortcut for... ( NOT 100% sure if will work as I use english only )
