QUESTIONS - All Conversion Questions to be Posted Here

[ferv]

I have changed my VGA to a Radeon Hd7950 3Gb and since then in the system verificacion of any conversion made with CIU 1.0.0.6 it always appears in red like it doesn't meet the minimum requirements, i think maybe it's related to the 3gb but i don't really know, is there any way to fix this in the conversion script?
PS: I don't know if my question goes here but if it don't, please let me know, thank you

Hi, I have a question. If I would personalize the conversion already poster, for example conversion with LZMA, and I want to add srep+precomp for more compression, how I chose the file that can be compressed by srep+precomp without a waste of time?
In other words, there are a method to estimate the efficency of compression, for each file, BEFORE start compression?

Hi,
i'm trying to make a conversion for all Wing Commander Series but i'm having some troubles becouse some Wing Commander games are old and require DOSBOX.
I need to create icons like (the installation path of the game is "D:\Giochi\Wing Commander Collection", Wing Commander 3 is the component3):

Destination: "D:\Giochi\Wing Commander Collection\DOSBOX\dosbox.exe" -conf dosboxWC3.conf -noconsole -c "exit
From: "D:\Giochi\Wing Commander Collection\Wing Commander 3\"

i only found some code like:

Name: {group}\{code:GetAppName} {code:MyExecutableIconName3}; Filename: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath3}\{code:GetMyAppExeNam e3}; WorkingDir: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath3}; Check: ThirdExecCheck1
Name: {userdesktop}\{code:GetAppName} {code:MyExecutableIconName3}; Filename: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath3}\{code:GetMyAppExeNam e3}; WorkingDir: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath3}; Check: ThirdExecCheck1

Name: {group}\{cm:Config}; Filename: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath3}\{code:GetMyAppExeNam e3}; WorkingDir: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath3}; Check: ThirdExecCheck2
Name: {userdesktop}\{cm:Config}; Filename: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath3}\{code:GetMyAppExeNam e3}; WorkingDir: {app}\{code:GetMyAppExePath3}; Check: ThirdExecCheck2

Always depends of the game files. You need test to know.
Some game files accept insane compression like Hitman Absolution.
Others makes no difference like COD Black Ops II.

So, you need always to test.

[The-revenge]

Thanks for the info....so the only way is to test I read on internet that the compression software using an euristich algorithm, so the time needed to estimate the final compression ratio is egual to time needed to compress the file...for this reason the only way is to test and verify for each game...
LOL I tried

Hi i have tried to compress Saints Row IV with this settings

Compression=lzma2/ultra64
InternalCompressLevel=ultra
DiskSpanning=True
DiskSliceSize=1566000000
SlicesPerDisk=3
CompressionThreads=2
LZMAAlgorithm=1
LZMAMatchFinder=BT
LZMANumFastBytes=64
LZMAUseSeparateProcess=yes
LZMADictionarySize=65536
LZMABlockSize=262144
LZMANumBlockThreads=2

Result was something like 6,3GB. I have read manual of Inno Setup and i can not set some values at higher level because it will be out of range.
So i do not know how it is possible, that somebody have same game with same files, but compressed to something like 5,3GB.

Where did i make mistake?

I have:
CPU: Q9400 3,2 GHz, 5 GB RAM. This should be sufficient for compression

Thank you for you help.

get rid of first -lc8 & depending on whose script your using the arc.ini must be included as well. so it knows what values to use for compression / decompression.

This is the bat file:

@echo off
Title Compressor for Blackbox Script - by AliEN
echo *******************************************************************************
echo *            Freearc+Precomp+Srep Compressor for Blackbox Script              *

echo *        Change C:/* to your files directory. Example: C:/Folder/*            *

@echo Finished.
pause

This is the arc.ini file:

[External compressor:srep]
header = 0
packcmd   = srep {options} -m3f $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = srep -d -s $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp $$arcdatafile$$.tmp

[External compressor:precomp]
header = 0
packcmd   = precomp -intense0 -cn- {options} -o$$arcpackedfile$$.tmp  $$arcdatafile$$.tmp
unpackcmd = precomp -o$$arcdatafile$$.tmp -r $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

Thank you for the help !!!
