Creating a DVD with multiple games is a fairly easy process.
All you need to do is copy all the files from CD1, and ONLY the installation files from the other CDs into a directory, do this for every game you wish to add. The autorun files from the other CDs might mix up if you copy them over the one from CD1. This was the case with Rome: Total War.
Don't put them all in the same folder. Nearly all games name their installer setup.exe and you can't have two files with the same name in one folder. Renaming it is no problem, BUT; setup.exe gets it's information from setup.ini, renaming this will start causing problems. You should just give every game it's own folder on the cd. The installation will look for files in the home directory; it won't browse the CD. (Example: When installing Warhammer from "
D:\Warhammer\setup.exe" it will look for files in "
D:\Warhammer", not "
D:\" )
One important thing; You need to alter the msi files IF the game uses one. If you want to know how to do this read carefully;
1) Go
here and install this application.
2) Right click on the msi installation file you wish to edit, and click "
Edit with MaSaI Editor".
3) Go to the tab "
All Tables" and choose the folder "
Media".
There's only one table you need to alter here: "
VolumeLabel".
You can change this to whatever you want it to be, just make sure you name it exactly (case sensitive) as you wish the name the DVD itself. If you're adding more than one game on the DVD name it something like "
GameDVD". You could also alter
DiskPrompt but it is not required.
4) Save it somewhere, make sure it's easy so you can find it back.
5) Replace the old msi, with the one you just altered.
You need to follow these steps for EVERY game you add to the DVD which uses a msi installer. If it doesn't use a msi installer you don't need to do anything.
EDIT: The above is incorrect. The things I described in here only apply to games with an msi installer. Other installation methods (sometimes) have other ways of checking the cds.
Creating a html autorun does not work. Your cd-rom does not know what to do with this file. I do know how to get an autorun going but don't know how to create one
, im no programmer, so can't help you there.
Hope this was of any help to you people, if you have any questions just ask.
