1. Install the game. Update game, apply NO-CD if necessary.
2. Download attachment, extract to HD, NOT in Gamefolder.
3. Move _CommonRedist folder from game install directory to last dvd in extracted folder.

Code:

[Launch1]

------------------------------------------------------- 

Name=DirectX

32Exe={src}\_CommonRedist\DirectX\Jun2010\DXSETUP.exe

Argument=/silent

BeforeInstall=0



[Launch2]

------------------------------------------------------- 

Name=Visual C++ 2012

32Exe={src}\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2012\vcredist_x86.exe

64Exe={src}\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2012\vcredist_x64.exe

Argument=/q /norestart

BeforeInstall=0

4. Run UltraARC_mod, Browse/Select Your installed game, Select the compression method to use (feel free to use it or not) ;)
5. Make iso files with the same name of folders.
6. Test the conversion, before burning ISO.

Enjoy!!! :)

tried lzma .... saves only about 300MB compared to 0-compression

srep+lzma: threshold 10 result 5DVDs and the last DVD with Redist is 600MB

will try Method=pZLib+lzma
there's a "German_anim.pak" file in "Localization" folder. its size is 180mb and i think it would be no problem to delete it

by the way, is it ok to use lzma with pZlib or I should use lzma2?

It is ok.

You can use zlib checker from here http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=97657 to check if a game using zlib streams.

lzma2 is faster but in my tests the compression ratio is a bit lower than lzma.

Oh, and you should use srep aswell. zlib is only a precompressor.

I used pZLib+srep+lzma and also deleted the german language from localization folder (180mb) and "Credits.bk2" from videos (538mb) and I have 4 DVDs and the last DVD is 4.2GB. so pzlib has not better result. if I haven't deleted those files still i had 5 DVDs.

but when I tried to install the games I got isdone.dll error
I think it's because of using pzlib. I'm not sure. any idea?

Yes, seems pzlib has some errors left, or ultrarc not modified and tested properly.

Have not tested a single game yet with UA+pzlib (only compress.bat).

Will report back asap.

http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=98672

Give me some time to download the game and compressing. Will report back tomorrow.

I have found what cause the crc check error.

Different than expected it's not UA or pzlib, it's a bug in CIU script.

I have smasht that bug away.

First test was fine with a small game using pzlib+srep+lzma - All Ok.
Will test some other games too.

In the meantime, test with this Setup.exe

CIU2038b latest version

Updated setup with the latest version of the script (CIU2038b), due to a problem in the previous version. Thanks to KaktoR for fixing this.

This new setup solved my problem. now I don't get a CRC error.

thank you KaktoR & omdj

i finish with 5 DVD 5

DVD 1 to DVD 4 size 4.37 GB

DVD 5 with Redist about 300 MB
