Mass Effect 2 - 3xDVD5 [1 LANG + ALL DLCs + INNO SETUP + TRILOGY COMPATIBLE]

[WaltonSimons]

OK, so I didn't break the game at least. Just finished playing it through and there are no errors related to my meddling. So, here's the deal how to do this:

1. Enter Mass Effect 2\BioGame\DLC folder.
2. Check each DLC subfolder. It should contain its own CookedPC and in some cases, Movies folder.
3. Move all .bik files from these DLCs' Movies folders to Mass Effect 2\BioGame\Movies. If any files repeat, you may overwrite them or skip -- it doesn't make a difference except for the datestamp as any repetitions are identical files.
4. Remove the DLCs' Movies folders so that they don't get detected.
5. Enter Mass Effect 2\BioGame\Movies folder and remove: AdvCombat1.bik, AdvCombat2.bik and AdvCombat3.bik. Do not remove AdvCombat1_PC.bik, AdvCombat2_PC.bik or AdvCombat3_PC.bik because the game uses these!

Size results forthcoming. Gimme 4 hours

EDIT: Okay, so instead of a 750 MB Setup-3a that I had on the previous run, I have a 410 MB one. I think maybe FreeArc would've done a better job. REV0, any chance for FreeArc version of this installer?

EDIT II:

Also, this goes to Registry for Polish:

Root: HKLM; SubKey: "SOFTWARE\BioWare\Mass Effect 2"; ValueName: Language; ValueData: pl; ValueType: string; Flags: uninsdeletevalue uninsdeletekeyifempty; Languages: pol; Check: Component2FAE;

Excellent conversion REV0,

The same with Mass Effect 1, only thing I think you're missing are the original EULAs and READMEs for each language (DE, EN, ES, FR, IT)
I attach them.

Hi, REV0

I think you've made a mistake in this script, at the registry section.
Every line there has a check on Component2FAE, and that variable is not defined. So, none of the keys are actually written.

I guess it's something related to the "Trilogy Compatible" thing.
You should fix that either defining it somewhere or by removing the check.

P.D: Mass Effect 1 has a problem with the registry keys also, I posted a fix there too.

Cheers.

OFFTOPIC I'm against the compiled + cmd file convertions, because of this kind of things. Personally I have some programming skills so I like to check the script. I usually remove, add, modify things around... or fix erros... even make them with more/less compression or compress faster. And if there is no script available you just can't fix anything and depends on the poster to fix them for you (if he has the willing or the time to do it).
