Thank you very much!

I've heard that Precomp 0.41+ uses bZip2 compression by default and some recommend to use "-c-" argument to turn it off. Can you plz comment on that and (maybe) tell me how to do it in UltraArc? Can I use something like -m4?

Thank you very much anyway! Cheers! ;-)

yes, Disabling precomp's default compression gives u better compression ratio if u r planning to compress it further with better compressors like lzma

second thing, you don't have to do anything to do so, ultraARC does this work for u
simply add the source directory, chose the your compression parameters (u can use prcomp,srep,delta,lzma, will yield u best results) and then the output directory
one more thing use precomp version 0.38 this the stablest versio

Wow, this is very surprising.. 0.38? wow, I thought that the newer version == better..

Thank you!

Newer Versions Has Bugs and Bugs, they got nothing new bt the in-built compression

but 0.38 seems to be waaay slower in both compression and decompression o_O

and output file seems to be of the same size (exactly)

----------------------------

I'm not sure now, guess me perception of time is not consistent =)

[Dante90]

I've spent a whole day testing different precomp version in UltraArc and now I'm not sure which version I should stay with.. o_O

---------------------------------------

If I'm looking for precomp to use in UltraArc do I need Razor12911's version of precomp and cls-precomp.dll or schnaader's version should work as well? And how come the last version of precomp on schnaader's git-hub is 0.45 but I saw 0.46 from Razor12911?

IMPORTANT!!! BUG FIX FOR UA v3030
Update:

You should start compression with another version of UltraArc (2400, for example) and THEN start a v.3030. Strange thing but it helps, I hope there is gonna be a fix for this soon (since we have located the problem)

Have nice day! Cheers! ;-)

Update 2:
Unfortunately, the compression fill start all over again after the end of compression. O_O

Update 3: System: Windows 7 Ultimate x64

If only, I no longer have source of this anymore.

[LuzhinE]

works for me wonderfully, would only ask you to add support for new compresores

[Razor12911]

can't do that as well. either way, old is gold.

[LuzhinE]

anyway thank you very much, but it works perfectly

hey Guys!
i am little bit of confused, Which version of ultraARC's CIU is best to use?

here is the screenshots of installer with different versions of CIU with same ini and resources

I have some doubts
1.Langsbox arrow keys are not visible in any of versions bt i seen such in many conversions done by our conversion guru
2. LAngBox's controls never works such as show only
and much more

and there is no tutorial for CIU V2, so if anyone could make it then it is very beneficial for every member of fileforums.

Best regards,
Prince Gupta

quick thought, in setup.ini
{installoptions}
Lang=en,de,es,fr,it,pl,prbr,ru,tr ( 9 choices, will not match what you have an example )

[LangBox]
showonly=9

those 2 numbers match NO arrows... make showonly= smaller number then arrows will show.

[Gupta]

what if i do what u told
getting the arrows but now see the position of langbox

in the attached image se close to ea logo

[pakrat2k2]

center=0

0=no ( you set it where you want )
1=yes ( it sets it to center of image based on Top=# )
