mikey26 precomp + srep works fine in beta release, just be sure to set proper precomp version in setup.ini i.e.
Code:
PrecompVer=0.42

Edit the Ini file: add this(this is a example below)

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1 = {src} \ Data1.bin; DestDir: {app}; Disk: 1; PrecSrep:1
FreeArcFile1 = {src} \ Data2.bin; DestDir: {app}; Disk: 1; PrecSrep:1

Also specify the version of precomp used: eg: PrecompVer=0.42


The script u looking at is for Peter's script and his bat files a bit different from yeners Script.

which lupett077 has been told 100's of times already, you CANNOT use peter's method of compression ( freearc commandlline ) with Yener's CI 8 !!!

He repeatedly ask the same thing over & over again... in multiple threads.

The issue is you have no define records.inf ( which is used once script is compiled once without it enabled ) sets the progress bar length to correct dimensions dependant on number of archives / files. Then you enable it so that the progressbar displays properly. But using a script from the internet without understanding what it does, makes it very hard to 'fix' any issues with it. Best off to use one of the conversions listed in game index on the forum here as they work 100%.

Sorry guys but I tried this method to compress

FreeArc-m0
precomp-intensive
SREP
FreeArc fast

but when I go to installae takes more than 15 minutes for a single compressed archive.

Can you advise me how to compress enough, but then when I go to unzip it takes less?

lupetto77 it's perfectly normal and you can't speed it up because this file is compressed three times. Especially unprecomping takes a lot of time. My Max Payne 3 has near 7GB of srepped and precomped archives and it needs above 2 hours to install :-)

You can get these files supplied with your game or you can create them yourself.
either way they are not that important. it's used only to add the game to Game Explorer and if CI doesn't find them it skips them completely
