Hi. a newbie here and I need some help.

firstly love the designer app I made a simple repack and it worked.

now I want to do something more complex that is repack a modded game like mass effect.

I tweaked the game config files in the userdocs folder and I want to add it to the repack and have the installer extract these files in the userdocs folder but I cant figure it out

I would appreciate the help

I have more questions..

1. Is it possible to make a trilogy repack with the option to select one or all games for install?

2. I've read the posts here saying 3 is the redist limit. Can additional redists be added as components or is there a workaround?

3. Is the internal compression disk slice capped at 2gb? I tried 4gb and it doesn't compile.

4. Is there any harm in not using disk slice and simply having one big bin file?

Thanks again Totsiens

1. Yes, last time I checked I helped y_thelastknight add the feature.
Just head over to Resources > Component, add the names of the games or components.
Then head to Resources > Archive, make use of component spinbox (value editor)
The value you put under component is equal to the component index you added under components section
If you added NFSMW and NFSHP under components as examples and you have 2 archives (first archive is NFSMW and so on), for the first archive the value for component must be 1 and the second one must be 2.

2. Limit is 3 because of the space on the GUI, couldn't fit more than 3.
And no, you can't use additional redist as components.

3. For internal compression, if input is more than 2GB, you have to tick disk spanning to enable automatic splits of the input. Though the disk slice size cannot be more than 2GB. So you can have 8GB input but it must be splitted into chunks smaller than 2GB.

4. It's an internal limitation of Delphi probably, but it was fixed in later delphi and Inno still uses older simple types for this situation. (I think)
For example, size is an integer, and integer is a simple type, it has its own limitations, another simple type can be Cardinal, Int64 ...
Integer has a limitation of the maximum value being no more than 2147483647 which is 2GB - 1 byte.
Cardinal have limit of 4294967295 which is 4GB - 1 byte
and so on, so it's either you use Freearc to make one big file or just stick to disk spanning.

5. Where is South Africa are you from?

This kinda make things difficult coz some games require more than 3 redist,
I just had a look at your ASC program, can I use that to edit this Setup Installer.

Cool BB Script für Beginner (german / deutsch)

english = @end

Hallo,

habe mich mal hingesetzt und dass Blackbox-Skript komplett
"eingedeutscht". Jetzt sind nicht nur die Standard-Sätze, sondern
auch alles andere auf Deutsch.

Speziell für Anfänger ist es günstig, da alles mit Kommentaren erklärt wird.
(So dass jeder von Grund auf die Skripte auch versteht und selber basteln kann)

Zwei Versionen...

Ein Installer (mit InnoSetup integriert) und eine gezippte Version (ohne InnoSetup Installer).

Ich hoffe, dass ich gegen keine Copyright Rechte hiermit verstoße...

Have Fun....

Folder: https://files.fm/u/f2jn73jg#_

https://files.fm/down.php?i=ezzdxbe8&n=Repacker.exe
https://files.fm/down.php?i=yzx63ext&n=Repacker-zip.exe



Danke an vorherigen BB-Skript-Ersteller und den Reg-Converter !

__________________________________________________ _________________

english info:
This is the BB-Script for german beginners.
It is complete (all nessessary sentences) translated into german language.
Sorry for bad english.
