Used version "novideo" and latest UltraArc from the other archive and I cannot make the conversion:

"Failed to create Data1.cab"

Gee, no shit, sherlock, I think. The author of UltraArc definitely could, I dunno... MAKE MESSAGES MORE SPECIFIC? As it stands I cannot give out any more details as to why this fails. It just does.

EDIT:

OK, found a reason. Basically, it was the fault of UltraArc.ini.

Here's how it looked:

[Compressor]
Freearc=<listed methods>

[FreeArc]
Method=

NEEDLESS TO SAY, it wouldn't work. I put the methods where they belong and changed the setting under [Compressor] to True. LeSigh.

EDIT: and again, for some reason, it just went off, during the first data file's compression, no less. Well at least this time it STARTED COMPRESSING. Seriously, something is wrong with this conversion's UltraArc.ini, at least in the NoVideo version. It's so annoying...

EDIT: FINALLY it works but let's be frank: UltraArc.ini in both novideo archive and the enclosed UltraArc update is BORKED. When I used the ini from GTX' Syndicate conversion (I only changed First Volume Size to the proper value) it now compresses everything as it should.
