Please may I have some help starting out?

[Entai44]

use mine, complete with the installer and the compressor. (and some app)

look at this link: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1N8...3_u1SXMxuPZWJp

can reach up to 600 MB, cause it has many compressors added.

more for B Installer (ASIS): https://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=99481

see FA.ini inside UltraARC 2900 R6 FULL\Resources for compression methods.

edit Easy Step.bat for *.bin names or -m... methods.

install innosetup-6.0.3.exe files to use as compiler for script.iss.

don't forget to edit Compressor.ini, Settings.ini, and Records.ini before compiling.

(CompactMode is turned on, so you can disable by change 1 to 0 at Settings.ini)

Thanks, I will take a look at your compressing tool. I managed to get my head around what around what Entai44 sent with the B installer. I got it to compile and I could edit the ini files to my liking. I am going to try your tool instead of UltraARC for the time being while I learn.

Thank you very much for linking that other thread too!

But my compression is based on .bat files (command line), and just use 3 steps to start compression, no use UltraARC.exe of course cause that so complicated for me.

But yeah, your Mini Compressor is good but complicated and equal to UltraARC.exe

Hi again, I managed to make an archive out of both your methods which is great.

I've managed to make my custom installer and archive, but where do I put my archive and where do I specify in the settings for it to detect that the archive needs to be decompressed by the installer?

If I have multiple archives (say one with main game files, others with language packs) how would I integrate them to be extracted into the same directory during setup, and how do I know the right decompression commands are going to be used?



I assume that this part of Settings.ini has to do something with it?

--------------------------------------------------------------- Edit:

I got it so far. I managed to get my Payload to be found by the installer, and when I put more work in, I should be able to get other archives into the proces of extraction.

The main issue now is that no matter which compressor I use, I always get Unarc error -6 saying that the archive is not readable. I tried using a different file extension (e.g. .bin instead of .arc) but I still keep getting the same error. Oh, and all archives in the setup folder get deleted if the installer is cancelled. What could be causing these issues?
