Call of Juarez - The Cartel (1x DVD5) *INNO+FreeArc*

Actually, not compressing the "*.rpack" files along all the other game files (Like in your conversion) is what actually makes his installer faster - And hence, the total time compressing the game files is smaller for this (Peterf) conversion.

And BTW, it's actually possible to "fix" this by tweaking the setup.ini from your (BAMsE) conversion. I don't know how to do that for "external", but with "zero compression" is pretty easy.


... And now we have two options, a "Complex, yet truly complete" (Peterf) one and a "Games for windows 'easy-as-cake'" (Yeber90's codes and BAMsE's work) one. But if you wanna know, we still need a option to make a 2xDVD5 full backup with all languages... Well... quite not this time...

Thanks for the hard work, all of you.

I'm not thinking about compressing *.rpack along all the other files, but making another (zero compression) archive. Unpacking them takes only 5-10secs more then copying them from root

I said that YOU did that, not him!

... and, thanks to the setup.ini provided with Yener's installer, you can do what you've proposed to peter in your own conversion easily.

Just to remember:

• In peterf's conversion, you MOVE the *.rpack files and delete the "extra" languages before compression, thus saving time during the compress steps and uncompressing data during the game install
• In yours, you just dele these "extra" langs before compressing everything - Including the *.rpack files that still are in the game folder - hence that's why your installer takes "longer" to finish.

Plus, there's no "true" differecne between making people compress these files to zero compression or move them to NO compression. If something wrong will happen, it won't change anything.

Not to mention that, regardless everything, all of these scrpits does the "Unpacking .7zip//.rar//.arc//.cab//.(Anything but .BIN used in Inno's internal compression) as the last steps - After even the "redist" (DirectX, Visual runtimes, G4WL...) install. So even if we have a failed coding (Or whatever is wrong with Hunted conversion), we can fix it by using dummy files for "external" and a "proper" compressed file with the proper files//dirs - Like sulfurum1989 did!
(OF course, this for Peterf's installers; For Yener ones, it seems that editing the setup.ini properly will save our @$$3$ again. >.<)

You're right, but peterf's installer didn't allow you to add any archives, so you are constrained to add proper dirs/files to main *.arc file and doing all compression once again
