hi guys, kitsune here again. for any of you using IC 3.0 and getting the decompression failed -11 error code when using pzlib v3, and the 'crc does not match checksum!' error with zstd, i finally got them to work with IC 3.0, and had a clean install no errors. i am including my full IC 3.0 2800 R2 folder with my updated files, and it doesnt matter what file type you use, i tested both pzlib v3 and zstd on some .ogg files then made a sample setup.exe with it to see what happened and it installed clean, no errors at all during decompression!!!

just extract the attachment to your HD and voila, no more errors!

Thanks, catch you on all the flip side. enjoy making your new installs with pzlib v3 and zstd with IC 3.0, no more annoying crc or decomp failed errors!!

P.S. when adding your .bin files in the external resources section of IC, do -not- forget to select the proper precomp version that you used during compression with UltraArc.
i cannot stress this enough. if you used pzlib/precomp 0.38 when compressing your game in UltraArc, make sure you click on the 'precomp' drop down in IC and select 0.38!! likewise, if you used pzlib 0.42/reflate in UltraArc, make sure you click the dropdown in Installer Creator under external resources and choose 0.42! If you mix the two settings you will always get a decompression failed error during extraction. the 7zip attachment i included has the correct IC 3200 / UA 2800 folder structure and the files for pzlib and zstd properly placed so you wont have to go through the headaches of constant failures during decompression, just make sure you choose the exact same version of pzlib/precomp that you used in UA when compressing your game, otherwise it will not work!! thanks guys, have fun.
