UltraARC for Inno Setup (Conversion Tool)

[KaktoR]

You have to write the mask groups in lowercase

$MscSolid => $mscsolid

Don't ask me why, but it works.

precomp is always used by xtool (well, the command precomp, not the tool). You can't call xtool without precomp command (precomp = precompression). That's what xtool is for. You can only change used codecs or options.

For uncompressable files use $void mask group (or your own). Open arc.groups with a text editor and add files to $void mask (by filename (+ subfolder) or by file extension (*.abc). You can define files for every other mask group or make a new group ($groupxyz).

Thanks man, it works and perfect. My code will get better in time. I suggest you can write lowercase thing to wiki.

Now I get it. I think precomp option ise precomp.exe build in xtool. Precomp.exe and xtool.exe different precompressors. If I want to use precomp, I will just change xzlib.

Yeah I did that absolutely but, lowercase thing. Now it stores.

I'm really sorry but I can't figure it out.

MASK=precomp+srep+7z/$binkpack=bpk/$mscsolid=msc+srep+7z (I tried 7z and 7Z it fails everyway)

msc works, srep works but 7z doesn't work. 7z options in config0.ini(I edited it)

[External compressor:7z,7Z]
header = 0
default = :d192m:fb273:lc4:mc1000000
packcmd = "7z\7z_x64" a -t7z -an -mcrc=0 -m0=lzma:d1536m:mf=bt4:fb=273:mc1000000000:lc8 -mx9 -myx=9 -si -so <stdin> <stdout>

It's not working. But;

4L3 = 4x4:b128mb:lzma:ultra:1536m:bt4:fb273:lc8:mc100000 0000(It uses FAZip)

Or (when I use lzma2)

[External compressor:lzma2,Lzma2]
header = 0
default = :d25:fb=273:mf=bt4:mc=1000000:lc=4:lp=0
packcmd = "7z\7z_x64" a -txz -an -mcrc=0 -m1=lzma2:d1536m:mf=bt4:fb=273:mc1000000 -mmt=off -mx9 -si -so <stdin> <stdout>

Working.

I want 7-zip with lzma method. What's wrong?

(UltraARC 2.9 R8)

NOTE: For your information, when I use these parameters (7z_x64 a -t7z -an -mcrc=0 -m0=lzma:d1536m:mf=bt4:fb=273:mc1000000000:lc8 -mx9 -myx=9) in cmd, it compress any file without any error.


I tried it with DiskSpan, it says Write error(disk full??). I have 160 gb empty space and my game files 5.33 GB.Whaaaatt???

Found the problem's source: It's not accepting -t7z command. Why? How can I use lzma compression method with 7zip in ultraarc?

[devil777]

Holdup

Watch how much the 7z.exe weighs (I mean space. It'll be 1.09MB likely for 64bit one. 720KB likely for 32 bit one)

7z.exe for xz(lzma2) isn't the same in size for general 7z patch. In 7z(for xz/lzma2) parameter -txz is used in packaging parameter not -t7z.

Also dude it's written

packcmd   = 7z.exe a -txz -an -m0=lzma2(:options):fb=273:mf=bt4:mc=100000000:lc=4:lp=0 -mx9 -si -so <stdin> <stdout>

Never used lzma in the place of "lzma2" in the packcmd parameter.it matters a little about what you write in [External compressor] whether it's lmza2 or xz

during compression use or u can say for compression method

lzma2:d256m:mt2

(Will help you to keep the track about how much directory and multithread you had used for files.but use lzma2 in case of renaming it in External compressor)

#d is directory and of course mt is the thread number

#I had encountered disk error when used "d" more than 128 for 32bit executable.just a reminder tho

That should work fine.with best regards

How can I decompress the archive using inno setup scripts. Sorry but I am noob. I don't know much about scripting. BTW, it would have been better if there was an inbuilt "decompess" option in Ultra Arc.

[KaktoR]

There is. Namely Self-Extractor.

you can download it here under tools

[KaktoR]

R8 will be the last one only compatible with CIU3.0.0.0u9.

For v3.0.0.1 there will be a whole new version.

[y_thelastknight]

is there any simple Installer Script that support UltraARC (v2.9.0.0 R6 Final Rev. 30102018) Full ? i get these error every time.

[KaktoR]

Well you have to include used compressors in your setup script and let them extract on install step.
