Although not identical, the predefined modes FA-BEST_SP, FA-MAX_SP and FA-ULTRA_SP work with FreeArc's internal masks.


But to use these methods you can NOT choose DiskSpan mode (You can use it together with SPLIT mode or WITHOUT any split mode).
I don't know why these 3 methods don't give us the same results, taking into account that the final method formed on the command line is something like:

FA-BEST_SP  >> -m9x -ld192m
FA-MAX_SP   >> -mx -ld800m
FA-ULTRA_SP >> -mx -ld1600m 

The other settings of the FA-??? presets use fixed methods.
See below the presets used (They can be changed in "DSG_Arc.ini" whenever you want).

FA-STORE=0
FA-MIN=1
FA-LOW=rep:1kb:256+exe+4x4:tor:1kb:h4kb
FA-FAST=rep:1kb+exe+delta+4x4:lzma:32kb:fast:32:mc4
FA-NORMAL=rep:1kb+exe+delta+4x4:lzma:32kb:normal:16:mc8
FA-HIGH=rep:1kb+exe+delta+4x4:lzma:32kb:normal:32:mc32
FA-BEST=exe+delta+lzma:32kb:normal:bt4:128
FA-MAX=rep:1kb+exe+delta+lzma:64m:ultra:bt4:128
FA-ULTRA=rep:1kb+exe+delta+lzma:128m:ultra:bt4:128

Hello
I would like to know how to process these king of fille
(RIFF/FSB5)
They take lot of space in the conversion.
I think they could be converted before and after compression
but I'm a beginner and I don't understand certain things...

best regards

Extract all FSB5 banks from the bank/data with this quickbms script:
https://www.fileforums.com/showthrea...141#post502141

Then, extract those new FSB files with this script:
https://github.com/HearthSim/python-fsb5

For the audio extracted, concatenate the files by file type with bincat by Aluigi.

Bin files? Reextract the original FSB with fsbext and compress the extracted wav with msc
WAV files? Compress with msc.
Ogg? Compress with oggre.

So you can have up to 3 different files at this point.

Use oggvorbis2fsb5 to convert your decompressed ogg data into FMOD ogg audio. Concatenate your (up to) 3 files and make a patch to the original bank with hdiffz.

During unpacking/installation use oggvorbis2fsb5 again, concatenate and then apply the hdiffz patch you made earlier to restore the original bank.

Hi there,

UPDATE : Solution found and attached !!!

I created an installer with different titles for each page.

I managed that it work without VCLstyles (or when I use ISSkin instead).

But with VCLstyles it only changes the titles when i press e.g. the cancel button.

Thank you in advance...

UPDATE : Solution found and attached !!! ( >> Procedure to hide + show WizardForm )
Solution 1 = managed with WinAPI function >> SendWindowsText
Solution 2 = managed with WizardForm.Caption
>> works without the styles too
