Razor12911's Project Previews
 

This thread will show up all project previews from the programs created or being created by Razor12911.
Normally, I get disadvantaged (i.e. Installer Creator v2.6, v2.7 and yep, they are available as updates and can upload them anytime, their release dates were set 3 weeks ago or just three days after v2.5.1 after some bugs were found by the creator of of course). This makes me extend the production time because the audience is low and people don't even report bug (there are exceptions though, you know yourselves) so I will just create, share preview, if people like and want, I start creating the project fully then post it, Simple as that.

Projects I am currently working on:

Advanced Setup Creator

Transparent Installer
 

Project Start-up date: 08-June-2014

hi friend When Would you release installer pack ?

The transparent installer doesn't seem's visually much impressive. the metro installer, project was better, and that was indeed a nice project which got a really clean interface. :) well i loved the screenshots of the metro one and this fails to catch an eye.
[may be, only for me..]

I think and installer not only have to been impressive visually, it have to be practical and gratefull to the eyes.. and to me the transparent installer is very practical and gratefull to the eyes :D.

To me, is how for example emulator frontends. There is HyperSpin (very impressive visually with the correct themes) and MaLa frontend (visually poor than HyperSpin, but 100 times more practical).

P.D Moderators, if i cant speak about emulators, delete this post, i dont want skip rules

not really easy to do, not using Inno for this one and I'm using FireMonkey platform which makes it very difficult but I'd say this will be better when it is finished.

That rounds it up, and i think this is going to look a lot more better once the project sees limelight. :) as more users and more suggestions will be on the way. leaving room for more advanced improvements. including the interface. (Y)

another preview based on TI

Where's the file? i mean, i need to try it to a new version is about "Installer Creator v3.1" with another file tools used it! :D :cool:

not out yet bro, and now that my pc got busted, every project is gone and the only thong that I have left is the stupid Windows Phone Script v2.3 and the source of Installer Creatot which I can't even compile because I don't even have RAD Studio or Inno Setup.
so it is really bad...

Some pictures of Advanced Setup Creator

At least you MAY be able to add as many labels, images and other graphic objects as you want and remove the ones which you do not want.


Working with this difficult Delphi code but I am learning, and I now know what is happening.:)

type
TCustomEffect = (efNormal, efShadow, efBlur, efGlow, efInnerGlow, efReflection);
TCustomFontStyles = record
Bold, Italic, Underline, StrikeOut, Uppercase, Lowercase: Boolean;
end;
TCustomPosition = record
Left, Top, Width, Height, Rotation, OffsetX, OffSetY: Single;
end;
TCustomLabel = class
strict private
Shd: TShadowEffect;
Blr: TBlurEffect;
Glw: TGlowEffect;
IGl: TInnerGlowEffect;
Ref: TReflectionEffect;
Sel: TSelection;
Lbl: TLabel;
Text: String;
public
protected
published
constructor Create(AOwner: TComponent);
function ReadPosition: TCustomPosition;
function ReadFont: TFont;
function ReadFontColor: TAlphaColor;
function ReadText: String;
procedure WritePosition(Left, Top, Width, Height, Rotation, OffsetX, OffSetY: Single);
function WriteFont: TFont;
function WriteFontColor: TAlphaColor;
function WrtieText: String;
end;

Another Screenshot:
This time, I managed to make custom controls which you guys are going to use, picking from the control box then pasting it in the form then starting editing them like this. At least, you can add a maximum of 100 items for each control, I will increase to 250 if there are no performance issues.

In the image, I added 3 labels with effects, shadow, blur and glow.
also 3 images, with rotation, glow, reflection and shadow.
These effects can also be adjusted by using the toolbox which is not currently present.

With the designer in Advanced Setup Creator, you can also make BlackBox installer or even R.G. Mechanics script if you are really good with designing unlike the designer in Installer Creator

A few templates will be included, likely the BlackBOX template.

I am also working as fast as I can, also taking shortcuts in creating the program so that you guys can start making conversions.

What is not good about this is that, I have discovered a few bugs in the new RAD Studio XE7 and I hope that they do not affect the program in any way.
I also hope that XE8 will be better than XE7, XE6 or XE5 in the matter of bugs.

I don't have any words to say. You are brilliant and master on this. Great job.

Not really, I am improvising here bro, this thing gives me a headache sometimes because I meet up with problems which I can't solve in Delphi.

Merry Christmas forum, here is my Christmas present.

that is going to make awesome looking effects..

Yea, it is but XE7 is making things difficult with its bugs. In order for me to implement a feature, I have to make a fix first then start implementing.
Anyways, Progress is 35%, you will be able to add 3D controls as well, set up the X, Y and Z axis.

Some screenshots. These show the editing options for the label object.

Really cool. Still don't have words to express what will be the new Installer Creator.

@Everyone,
This program, Advanced Setup Creator will be finished very soon. Maybe early next year, I have taken all the shortcuts to speed up the project's development process without making and errors that lead to bugs. So far, in theory
... The project may be complete in 10-30 days.
At the moment, I am dealing with a difficult code which I can't solve, but once I get past this problem, the production period will decrease amazingly.

The current progress:
Gathering info section: 70%
Designer: 20%(am stuck here)
Installer: Haven't started because designer is incomplete.

Oh, the program will fully be available to anyone, it is free.

Create something like this with Advanced Setup Creator

I am not good with graphics but I created that, I just loaded 3 images but now the installer looks like a png imaged installer, I rotated the two images above by - 7 and 7 degrees. I edited the corners so that they must be round and added white sides, lol. This took less than a minute.

Progress 50%

installer will be inno based or your own?

It won't be Inno based, it will be based on RAD Studio, at least I know how to do yhe installation and uninstallation, I did my research., In theory, it will work.

List of progress bars that may be available, Like I said, I will do it my way...

Another screenshot, I haven't been working on the program for the past week so I am behind.

I also decided not to stop working on Installer Creator because Advanced Setup Creator will be for people who know what they are doing with the program, as in professionals and Installer Creator will be for newbies.

Now working on ASC initial release and IC version 2.9

Progress bar styles, :D Really good. So much improvements are looks stunning with options too. :D

A new program I am working on.

UltraARC.

This will allow freearc archives to be split in to equal sets to fit media output of your choice.
The only thing that you do is select source directory, and output directory, method, split options then compression and splitting will take place.

I am quite sure that compression is not a problem in theory but decompression might be, but I will try to make it possible with Inno Setup scripts, a few examples for selected scripts such as IC and CIU will get this feature.

Lol, It turns out compression was the difficult part for UltraARC, but I took care of it. Done.
I tested the program on NFS Underground 2 and it produced excellent results regardless of the method for compression I chose, UltraARC made all media CDs equal in size with no fuss, I just stood right in front of my PC while it did its job. I will post test executable file tomorrow.
The only thing that is left is decompression that uses little space then make inno setup script example.

Awesome UltraARC!!
 

Look's like a new compressor.
& have a method from checkbox!

Weldone Bro!
:rolleyes::cool:

Do you speak Russian

Realtech_Redux
Nope, I can only speak English.

When are you going to upload Installer Creator 2.9 and the ASC?

Soon, I am almost done with IC, adding proper video playback. ASC, I am kinda stuck in creating the program.

Hooray, I am done with UltraARC, it works perfectly on my PC but I have to complete perfection by getting results from the tester.

what is left is CI and CIU implementations, some scripts on request will get this feature.

I did 10xCD700 installation and all volumes were exactly 700mb, and the installer does show progress for merging processes. What is amusing is that it requires less hard drive space as possible, but it depends on how you as a user set the values of splitting.

Will be uploading soon after the test results and implementations.

Now that UltraARC is complete, I went back to ASC.

Here are a few screenshots.

What I mostly like is the NFSRivals screenshot.
meaning, you can have two sets of installation graphics in one exe.

it is your choice, if you want to imagime how ASC will work like once it is done, just start playing around with AutoPlay Studio.

That is going to be oh so handy... but be prepared for all the questions, asking to make a tutorial. :p

I will make a tutorial for this thing, unlike Installer Creator which is junk. I can't believe I created that crappy software, updating or improving on that software isn't easy at all, I guess I was a noob back then.

I want to make a question, i dont find any installer compatible with precomp 0.43 and srep 3.93. Is there no possibility to adapt installer to precomp 0.43?

For precomp 043 you have to relate to preconpinside043 and WPI, IC and UA supports srep 3.93.
