BlackBox UA 2017 by razor
 

I read a post that a guy was asking black box with latest updates, I just did copy paste (no test sorry) :o

thanks for taking time to do it, I'm sure those who want it will appreciate it.

UltraArc is just a name of a modification created by razor, the old ISDone method can extract any archive in more leaves no .ini files like UltraArc if you want to enter a password will be visible with UltraArc with old method no. just to make things clear.

sorry no time for you code :o

Hi guys !

First of all, many thanks goes to the original Black Box script developer, Kurutucu. Thanks goes to you Rinaldo as well. :)

This adaptation works with UltraArc. I've tested it and there are no problems so far. But there is a 'tiny' problem...the progress bar stucks at 10%. In the original Black Box project
there is an Archive.ini. Place where you can adjust the installation progress. This adaptation doesn't have it and I'm getting a hard time to find it in the script. Any help I would appreciate.
Thanks in advance. :)

it's not needed, in the archive from rinaldo, the output folder already has a records.ini, which should be deleted, as well as arc archive. From the UltraARC topic here >
http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=96619
grab the UltraARC 2801 R3 Hotfix.7z & extract it into the output folder.

Make necessary image changes, compile the script, then run ultraarc setting source / output directories. Don't forget that FirstVolumeSize=4480 is everything in the first folder ( if you have redists to install + setup.exe + setup.ico, those will be subtracted from 4480 to get firstvolumesize. More info is in the first post of topic I mentioned above.

doing all that the progressbar should progress as installation proceeds.

Hi @Pakrat,

it's not working mate. The game installs and unpacks correctly but the progress bar still stucks around 10%. :o

maybe one of the more experienced coders can help with that.

I do not know, I just copy paste, check ProgressCallback and set it from 100 to 1000 but I'm not sure it's not my script :o

@Rinaldo,

you nailed it ! By default it was 100 and I changed it to 1000. Now the progress bar is synchronized. :D The code is here -->

I was about to give up the whole thing. You saved my day. Thanks again.

:)

Here is my installer for Doom 4. I've made some changes but it's basically the same as Rinaldo's modification. The uninstaller will delete your save game folder which is in C:\Users\Username\Saved games\id software ! So beware if you're currently playing Doom. Anyways, the uninstaller will ask you for permission to delete this folder. Give some feedback. :)

Ok, I've made an Blackbox Installer for TS4 Deluxe but It manages to unpack only some folders from Data1.arc (in the attachment there is the original file from Black_Box_UA_2017.7z archive so don't be bothered by wrong password. I,ve compressed my files with SREPMAX+RZ+exe+exe2+LZ77 from UltraArc. Any suggestions how to make it work? Oh, I've forgot to mention, I've edited the code to use not only Visual C++ Redist. for 32-bit systems but also for 64-bit.

I made a script for Injustice God Among Us and when its about to install directX
I have the error "Invalid Command line switch". How can i fix this?

What switch you used for directx?

for all redists use this topic for info
