ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[MartinezPL]

Hi,
Any idea why shortcut is a white blank icon?

I have this in Settings.ini

[Executable1]
ShortcutName=Kena Bridge of Spirits
ExePath=Kena.exe
ExeParam=
IconFileName=Kena.exe

I even had:
IconFileName=Setup.ico

Since Setup.ico use icon straight from game .exe file.
Still it was white blank image.

Remove IconFileName= key or try:
IconFileName={app}\Kena.exe

"IconFileName={app}\Kena.exe"
This made the trick.
Thank you very much Cesar82

Is it there any easy solution to have multiple data files for single selected component? I'm currently making a collection, with one of the selective titles having to have certain files packed separately. I know I could just instruct the user to select 2 items, but for the sake of it looking better I was wondering if a neater solution would be possible.

I tried modifying

if Trim(GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(I) + '.File', '', IniFile)) = '' then

&

ComponentFile := ExpandConstant('{src}\' + GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(CompIndexList[I]) + '.File', '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Settings.ini')));

to

if Trim(GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(I) + '.FileA' or '.FileB', '', IniFile)) = '' then

&

ComponentFile := ExpandConstant('{src}\' + GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(CompIndexList[I]) + '.FileA', '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Settings.ini')));
ComponentFile := ExpandConstant('{src}\' + GetIniString('ComponentsSettings', 'Component' + IntToStr(CompIndexList[I]) + '.FileB', '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\Settings.ini')));

when they appeared (twice for each) within the script, however this sadly didn't work out, with other attempts either not functioning when testing with a set of example archives, or an error was met on compiling the script. Does anyone familiar with Pascal have any idea if this type of modification is possible? I'm assuming such a solution isn't feasible, as the script wasn't designed to have multiple entries for a single component part.

Yes, however, you have to enable Tasks

Just make a Task

Task1.Name=Game Files
Task1.ItemType=CHECKBOX
Task1.Size=<Game size> gb/mb/kb/b
Task1.Level=0
Task1.Checked=1
Task1.Enabled=0

And records.ini

[Record1]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\Data1a.bin
Output={app}\
Disk=1
Size=<archive size> gb/mb/kb/b
Task=1

[Record2]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\Data1b.bin
Output={app}\
Disk=1
Size=<archive size> gb/mb/kb/b
Task=1

...

Maybe it works without Task too, but I have not tested it.

But may I ask, why you don't make a masked data archive? You can store different files with different compressions inside a single freearc archive.

Edit: Ohh, I just forgot you are working with an older script (right?). In this case I can't help you much, but I guess it is possible neverthless (I guess in this case you have to work with Component=# instead of Task=# in records.ini).

It's quite odd but regardless of a mask, certain files within this title fail to decompress unless packed separately. Even stranger still compressing these files separately gives a lower combined total, than with these files all-in-one archive.

I'll give merging this feature to v7.2.0 a shot, since it already works in 7.3.X, I'm hopeful I'll be successful!

Odd question considering it's been a few months without a new post on this thread, but what does it mean when the installer outputs a unarc -6 error (unable to read data)? Someone was talking to me about it and I have no clue - I never received this error and decompression worked fine on my machines.

Thank you, but what I meant was a script if possible that asks when you uninstall a game if you want to delete the game save which is for example in <userdocs>\SquareEnix\Final Fantasy VII

[KaktoR]

Try this

Add to Settings.ini

[Settings]
...
...
Savegamefolder={userdocs}\Final Fantasy VII

Edit: Fixed missing file

[alucard1973]

Thanks very much
can I put several like Savegamefolder1, Savegamefolder2?

[fabrieunko]

hello, is it possible to add a small equalizer just above the music OFF/ON button

[Rainiu]

Sorry if this has been asked before, but how do I add a window or border to the welcome screen message? Thanks.

You have to make it manualy in your bitmap image. There is a _Background.psd file which contains this half transparent border for example reasons (75% opacity).



Maybe one day I will add PNG images for it But actually this project is finished from my side if there are no bugs around.
