I read a post that a guy was asking black box with latest updates, I just did copy paste (no test sorry)

Hi guys !

First of all, many thanks goes to the original Black Box script developer, Kurutucu. Thanks goes to you Rinaldo as well.

This adaptation works with UltraArc. I've tested it and there are no problems so far. But there is a 'tiny' problem...the progress bar stucks at 10%. In the original Black Box project
there is an Archive.ini. Place where you can adjust the installation progress. This adaptation doesn't have it and I'm getting a hard time to find it in the script. Any help I would appreciate.
Thanks in advance.

it's not needed, in the archive from rinaldo, the output folder already has a records.ini, which should be deleted, as well as arc archive. From the UltraARC topic here >
http://www.fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=96619
grab the UltraARC 2801 R3 Hotfix.7z & extract it into the output folder.

Make necessary image changes, compile the script, then run ultraarc setting source / output directories. Don't forget that FirstVolumeSize=4480 is everything in the first folder ( if you have redists to install + setup.exe + setup.ico, those will be subtracted from 4480 to get firstvolumesize. More info is in the first post of topic I mentioned above.

doing all that the progressbar should progress as installation proceeds.

Hi @Pakrat,

it's not working mate. The game installs and unpacks correctly but the progress bar still stucks around 10%.

[pakrat2k2]

maybe one of the more experienced coders can help with that.

[rinaldo]

I do not know, I just copy paste, check ProgressCallback and set it from 100 to 1000 but I'm not sure it's not my script

[Proxson]

@Rinaldo,

you nailed it ! By default it was 100 and I changed it to 1000. Now the progress bar is synchronized. The code is here -->



I was about to give up the whole thing. You saved my day. Thanks again.

Here is my installer for Doom 4. I've made some changes but it's basically the same as Rinaldo's modification. The uninstaller will delete your save game folder which is in C:\Users\Username\Saved games\id software ! So beware if you're currently playing Doom. Anyways, the uninstaller will ask you for permission to delete this folder. Give some feedback.

Ok, I've made an Blackbox Installer for TS4 Deluxe but It manages to unpack only some folders from Data1.arc (in the attachment there is the original file from Black_Box_UA_2017.7z archive so don't be bothered by wrong password. I,ve compressed my files with SREPMAX+RZ+exe+exe2+LZ77 from UltraArc. Any suggestions how to make it work? Oh, I've forgot to mention, I've edited the code to use not only Visual C++ Redist. for 32-bit systems but also for 64-bit.
