look at peters syndicate conversion 1xdvd5.. it uses new precomp/srep

the commands your using are for precomp038, best to open command prompt in same fodler where exe is, type precomp042.exe, it will list all it commands..

listed below is PART of the full bat file:

Code:
1. cls
2. set choice1=C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Syndicate
3. echo Creating archive files, please wait...
4. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk\Data3.arc -x"%choice1%\Content\XDF\*" -x"%choice1%\Content\Textures\*"  
-x"%choice1%\Content\Videos\*" -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "%choice1%\Content\*"
5. if ERRORLEVEL 1 goto arcfail
6. cls
7. :arcfail
8. echo.WARNING: FreeArc returns an error, please retry... 
9. pause
10. :EOF
I've add line numbers so you can easily more see what to change for any game.

Step#1 line 2 change the path to YOUR game. C:\Program Files (x86)\EA Games\Syndicate
Step#2 line 4 change Disk\Data3.arc to what archive you want, AND the path to what you want archived \Content\*" the -x in front of the other paths states to NOT compress it.

save the file & run it for each archive you want created. changing line 4 for each archive. easy as pie

all thanks go to peterf1999, also you MUST have the arc.exe & arc.ini in same folder as the bat file.

New Precomp 42 & Srep 3


precomp -intense -o[arc archive]arc archive.arc

Like this ,,


precomp -intense -oHL2 HL2.arc


1 creates, arc file with 0 compression -m0

2 use precomp with this commands precomp -intense -oHL2 HL2.arc ( HL2 is an example)

3 use srep with this commands srep -m2 HL2.pcf HL2.srep (srep -m2 or srep -m3)

4 Compress with Freearc , HL2.srep file compression -mx -ld1600m arc , or cab file

5 Use Yener installers for Descompresion : FreeArcFile1={src}\HL2.cab;DestDir:{app};Disk:1;Pr ecSrep:1

I have a question.
Should I use these paramets to every game. I'm confused because for instance with Fallout we use precomp -slow -c6 -m8 and sprep m2.
Dead Rising: precomp -slow -c189 -m16.
How do I know which paramets I should use?

@yener90
Is it possible to use splash screen .gif with a transparent background and to change the layout/skin of the installer to look (for example) similar to this one:

use this one:

yes you can use. but not gif, png is required. call it Splash.png and put it to Setup.cab. If in Setup.cab is a Splash.bmp then delete this.
Nothing is impossible
but i prefer simple setup. too much useless page
and it would be much more easier, if inno setup would support alphablend for such setup :/

darshana
:/ for me its useless.
if you buy a game, you always look to system requirement.
so tell me the sense of this
