Battlefield 3 (2xDVD9 -> 4xDVD5)

[Scarlet Blade]

Hi folks!

First of all, I've managed to get yener90's 4-DVD5 repack kit for Battlefield 3 working on Windows 7 x86 flawlessly, and if I group up all of the CAB files in one folder, then I can just install the game without swapping discs!

Also, I've managed to create a 3-DVD5 (which fills up 2 DVDs completely, with a few megabytes space left on the 3rd DVD) repack with no language files removed using an Inno Setup script I've created BEFORE I've tried yener90's repack kit!

Here's the images for my repack!









However, I'm not fully sure if my layout is correct though and I haven't got around to adding other languages in the "registry" section of the Inno Setup script, and I've should've posted this in a separate thread, but I've decided to talk about it here, seeing as it IS a Battlefield 3-dedicated thread.

Oh, and I forgot one thing LOL - the Inno Setup script is attached to this comment, and if anyone wants to add finishing touches to this script, then feel free to do so! - click here in case you guys miss it: http://fileforums.com/attachment.php...7&d=1319758628

You should add the icons/images as well as the script. Put the ISS script file in a folder, images/icons etc in a subfolder of that. Easier to specify ".\images" rather then a long path that may only work for you. Also Specify a sourcepath for game folder, rather then having such a long list of files/folders that are in the game.

IE:

#define SourcePath "C:\Program Files (x86)\Battlefield 3\" at the beginning of the script, in setup section. then the line below in the files section, rather then a huge list of files/folders.

Source:{#SourcePath}*; DestDir: {app}; Flags: ignoreversion recursesubdirs

that way everyone who uses the script can just change 1 line to match their system.

Thank you very much pakrat2k2 for your help!

As you can see LMAO, I'm a conversion newbie (only did this twice, with Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit being my previous conversion) so hence I'm a dopey-ass moron when it comes to this kind of stuff, and I've used InnoIDE for simplicity purposes and time (yeah yeah yeah I'm a cheater LOL)!

No offence intended (that's how I am - I tend to be a bit of a "tongue-in-cheek" kind of guy), but like I said, I really appreciate your help pakrat2k2 (and others)!

no offense taken, and dont worry about it. I was just pointing out a few things you may want to change.. Also go take a look at peter's The Witcher2 Inno script.. download it and see how thing are laid out. See where the subfolders are, whats in them, how the script is laid out. You can actually use that as a starting point for every conversion you want to do. You just change images, reg entries etc., for any new game you want to convert. And using InnoIDE is a good starting point, but using a working script is even better. Nothing wrong with it being your first conversion.

EDIT:

Rather then taking up space within this topic, IF you need any further help, or have any further questions, please PM.

Like I said pakrat2k2, I thank you for helping me out on this , and from now on, I'll try to keep this thread on-topic as well (i.e. talk about yener90's Battlefield 3 repack kit) from here on in.
