Neverwinter Nights 2 (DVD9 to 2 DVD5 OR DVD9 to 1 DVD5)

[santi_evil]

The data*.cab can be descompressed with i6comp...
I´ve read the tutorial here but it don´t says nothing about delete archives (foreign languages) and compress the files in a new cab...
Sorry for may bad english

DONE !!!


@echo off
i6comp d -g4 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g5 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g6 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g10 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g11 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g13 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g15 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g16 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g17 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g23 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g24 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g26 data1.cab *.*
pause

ADVICE: This script is ONLY for spanish. For other language do "icomp6 g data1.cab", numerate the groups (0..), select the languages to delete
I´ve got only one problem, at install appears a crc error in 2200*.mod file... the solve is extract only this archive (from original) and replace it in the new cabs.

Final size: 4.3 giga

Only there is a rule ... uses a safety copy

1.- Extract all cab files and data1.hdr from iso (ultraiso or similar)
2.- Disable attribute read only... data1.hdr too...
3.- Use icomp6.exe (it´s good for spanish version... I suppose for german too)
to see the files.
In DOS mode (or script)

i6comp g data1.cab

results:

<Engine>Kernel Placeholder
<ENGINEDIR>
NEVER_OVERWITE

<Engine>EngineCommonPlaceHolder
<ENGINECOMMONDIR>
NEVER_OVERWITE

We arrange the groups: "Kernel Placeholder" is 0, "EngineCommonPlaceHolder" is 1 ...

We remember the foreign language groups...
In spanish version are

4,5,6,10,11,13,15,16,17,23,24 and 26

In german

4,5,7,10,11,12,15,17,18,23,24 and 27

4.- Empty this groups

i6comp d -g4 data1.cab*.*

this command delete group 4 from data1.cab

Then execute this macro (german version)

@echo off
i6comp d -g4 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g5 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g7 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g10 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g11 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g12 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g15 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g17 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g18 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g23 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g24 data1.cab *.*
pause
i6comp d -g27 data1.cab *.*
pause

5.- Look the new size and use the new cab files and hdr with the rest of files that compose the game and save it in a new iso file.

6.- Install it... only in german... the rest of languages fail.

I´ve got only one problem, at install appears a crc error in 2200*.mod file... the solve is extract only this archive (from original) and replace it in the new cabs...It is possible that it does not appear.

Sorry for my bad english
