How to use it
-------------
1- Install Company of Heroes and all the patches up to up to 2.602.
2- Compress the content of the game directory with FreeArc splited in 5 archives named data1.cab data2.cab, data3.cab, data4.cab, data5.cab. With the following config, COH can be compressed within 6.1 Go:
a -ep1 -r -ed -lc2048 -ld512 -mt2 –mdelta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273:mc1000:lc8 "C:\temp\DataX.cab" -dp"C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Company of Heroes"
3– Install the mod Eastern Front in a separate folder. Move Uninstaller.exe file in a temp folder and compress the content in a single archive named EF.cab with FreeArc in the same way (~1.7Go)
Original Uninstaller.exe file can now be restored and the game uninstalled with the original setup.
4- Deflate the attached archive in a temp folder. In the Support folder, you can copy the game manual and readme files. The localization is managed as follows:
Manual_XX.pdf with XX is DE for German, FR for French and so on. Whatever, it is recommend to put the English version without extension (ie Manual.pdf) as it’s the default one selected if none other is available.
5- Fill in DVD1 with the first DataX.cab archives and DVD2 with the rest: last DataX.cab and EF.cab
