ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[pnKed]

How do we use this script to make a compressed game?

[KaktoR]

Use the _Tools folder for compressing game files.

Use script to create setup.exe for unpacking archives.

Btw, last round of testing was good, except new script tomorrow

How do we edit the music out? Modifying the script will stop it but will the music option still appear when on the setup.exe?

[KaktoR]

If you don't want music, just change

#define Music

to

;#define Music

Just add a ; before

Cheers, I've compressed a game using Compressor 2.1 but have no idea how to implement the script into it so it will unpack itself.

[KaktoR]

Create Setup.exe, move it to compressed game files (there should be a records.ini file)

[pnKed]

Can't find a records.ini file. Sadly, could you send me an example of a script made to make a setup.exe for a UltraARC compressed .arc file?

[KaktoR]

There is one from where you have compressed a game.

I see now, moving the exe there doesn't fix things, I prob need to add some paths? Thanks for the help btw!

no, just move the setup.exe, records.ini, archives ( from ultraarc )

all in a folder.

what I do is set an output folder ( within script itself ) copy the files/folder
from ultraarc into the output folder, then when everythings together the output from ultraarc will always be in output folder. no searching for the files.

I do have this from the records:

[Record1]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\Data1.Bin
Output={app}
Disk=1
[Record2]
Type=Split
Source={src}\Data2a.Bin
Output={app}\Data2.Bin
Disk=1
[Record3]
Type=Split
Source={src}\Data2b.Bin
Output={app}\Data2.Bin
Disk=2
[Record4]
Type=Freearc_Split
Source={app}\Data2.Bin
Output={app}
Disk=2
[Record5]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\Data3.Bin
Output={app}
Disk=2
[Record6]
Type=Split
Source={src}\Data4a.Bin
Output={app}\Data4.Bin
Disk=2
[Record7]
Type=Split
Source={src}\Data4b.Bin
Output={app}\Data4.Bin
Disk=3
[Record8]
Type=Freearc_Split
Source={app}\Data4.Bin
Output={app}
Disk=3

Do I add this to the script?

[KaktoR]

No, just run setup.exe, then install

[pnKed]

Doesn't do anything sadly

[KaktoR]

Make sure #define UltraARC is enabled.
