I said that YOU did that, not him!

... and, thanks to the setup.ini provided with Yener's installer, you can do what you've proposed to peter in your own conversion easily.

Just to remember:
  • In peterf's conversion, you MOVE the *.rpack files and delete the "extra" languages before compression, thus saving time during the compress steps and uncompressing data during the game install
  • In yours, you just dele these "extra" langs before compressing everything - Including the *.rpack files that still are in the game folder - hence that's why your installer takes "longer" to finish.

Plus, there's no "true" differecne between making people compress these files to zero compression or move them to NO compression. If something wrong will happen, it won't change anything.

Not to mention that, regardless everything, all of these scrpits does the "Unpacking .7zip//.rar//.arc//.cab//.(Anything but .BIN used in Inno's internal compression) as the last steps - After even the "redist" (DirectX, Visual runtimes, G4WL...) install. So even if we have a failed coding (Or whatever is wrong with Hunted conversion), we can fix it by using dummy files for "external" and a "proper" compressed file with the proper files//dirs - Like sulfurum1989 did!
(OF course, this for Peterf's installers; For Yener ones, it seems that editing the setup.ini properly will save our @$$3$ again. >.<)
