ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[pakrat2k2]

no tutorial needed everything is handled by settings.ini. Download the archive & look in the setup folder, there you will see the images/names for them. Look in settings.ini for the corresponding line for the image name. Thats all there is to it basically. Edit the ini with the game information it asks for, find images you want to use, make them the same size as those in setup folder.

only change i've made is names...

In settings.ini KaktoR has the name of the game before extension, ive just removed the name of the game & left it with just the name.

IE:

[Installer]
//----------------------------------------------- Setup\Filename.bmp
WelcomeBackground=Welcome.bmp
FinishBackground=Finish.bmp
BannerBackground=Banner.bmp

before it was gamename.Welcome.bmp which personally was way too much work to change everytime, easiest to just leave it short, as above.

yeah I got that part. But how do I point it to the game files to compress?

what i've always done, ( just to keep things organized, & easier when posting a conversion or personal use )
the created setup goes in output folder (with games name ) then add UltraArc package to the output folder. Then enduser can simply run ultraarc point to their game & choose compression method.

Dont forget to edit ultraarc.ini & change the firstvolumesize to match what your setup equals subtracted from customvolumesize.

Output\UltraArc package

IE:

Output\Game\setup.exe the setup is 15 so CVS - setup=FVS.
in ultraArc.ini



[Split]
FirstVolumeSize=4465
CustomVolumeSize=4480
ThresholdPercent=30
