Colin McRae Dirt

[dede]

1°) ok, apparently, for a french DVD9 2 DVD5 is not mecessary to modifie the language option in SETUP.INI
EnableLangDlg=Y(Dont touch)

2°) The Padding files are DUMMIES and can be removed
Padding.Dat [remove]
Padding1.Dat [remove]
Padding2.Dat [remove]

3°) By removing the Padding file and add the crack folder with Update you obtain a iso file that size are 4.78 mb you can try to copy all file exept "data6.cab" on a DVD_1 and the "data6.cab" on a DVD_2.


But it is much bether if someone plz, can send a correct tutorial "how to use I6comp or ISCAB to remove the useless language files for each country, after this hint, the files can be writted on only one DVD.
exemple, how to remove languagedata_german(spanish, italian).lng from cab file.

Thanks......

Mondragon, can you, or anyone alse, reupload those files?

[pakrat2k2]

make sure to read post #8 as the archive is for creating ENGLISH ONLY game.
If you want other language look at that post to see what to edit in BAT file.


NOTE: This is not the original file, I just read the posts and added the 2 files I had in my collection ( from other conversions ). The files are only i6comp.exe & colin_dirt_eng.bat ( which was posted already )

Test it out & let me know if it works for you.

[eqagunn]

- Extracted the game to temp folder.
- Downloaded colin_dirt_eng.zip and extracted to same folder.
- Ran colin_dirt_eng.bat and waited till it finished.
- Removed colin_dirt_eng.bat and i6comp.exe.
- Removed readme files for removed languages.
- Edited setup.ini as described.
- Replaced DirectX with the latest one (June 2010).
- Created a Crack folder and added patches 1.21 and 1.22 to it.

Resulting size was 4459 MB. Splendid.

Thank you very much pakrat2k2!

EDIT:
I tested the installation and game works great.
Installed game takes 9.93 GB (10170 MB) of disk space.

Well done pakrat


...... also, excellent Feedback 'eqagunn' good to see.

For foreign Language user, edit the colin_dirt_.BAT from "mondragon" with notepad and modifie the string of YOUR Language with "u_*.wia"

f_* = french
g_* = german
i_* = Italian
s_* = spanish
u_* = US

Edit also the "setup.ini" file & modifie the string:


EnableLangDlg=N
CheckMD5=N
[Languages]
Default=0x040c (0x040c for french, Use her your own language code)
count=2
key0=0x0009
key1=0x040c
key2=0x0007
key3=0x0010
key4=0x000a

Have fun it run like a charm....
