Brothers In Arms Collection

Hi guys, here I left you my first collection conversion.
This conversion cover the 3 titles Road to hill 30, Earned in Blood and Hell's Highway
Like always I use CIU 1.0.0.6 script from yener90 so thanks to him for his work.
I use a base .bat file from fabioddq and the peterf1999's method so thanks to them as well.

Update 1
Added Setup.ini fix

Instructions

1- Install the 3 games

2- Download the attached files and decompress wherever you want (not in game folder)

3- On the folder of conversion there's a folder named temp and inside are 3 folders 1 for each game.

4- Move the files for each game to temp folder inside the folder corresponding to the game (ie. road to hill 30 game files to temp -> Road to hill 30 folder)

5- On DVD 2 folder create a new folder named Redist and inside create 3 more (VC80. Phsyx, Directx) and copy to each folder From the DVD of Hell's Highway from Redist folder each file that matches. (The setup.ini fix has the Latest Phsyx configured) thanks to pakrat2k2. here I left you the link
http://us.download.nvidia.com/Window...emSoftware.msi

5- run Brothers_in_arms_compressor.bat and when ask for the folder to each game input only the temp folder. (ie D:\temp)

6- wait until finished (aprox. 1 to 6 hour)

7- Test conversion, burn or make iso.

Final size: DVD1=4.2GB, DVD2=2.2GB
Install Time: 10 minutos

Nice job on your first collection But a question before starting this one.

for second step #5 > 5- run Brothers_in_arms_compressor.bat

do we input the temp folder location for each game ? otherwise I dont see why we copy game files there ?

Yes input only the temp folder.

When ask for the folder for each game input (ie D:\temp). It will compress with the root folder so when install all 3 games will have his own folder inside a root folder named Brothers in arms collection. I make it that way so everything is going to be better organized in.

thanks, guess I could have just looked in data.lst files to verify.
( might want to add that to instructions. To input the temp folder location, of extracted archive, for second step #5 )

couple errors noted:

5- From the DVD of Hell's Highway move support folder to DVD2 of the conversion.

should be redist folder. Support folder is the different languages manuals/readme.

setup.ini

Launch3=Visual C++ 2008 SP1 x86
Launch364=0
Launch3BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom3={src}\Support\VC80\vcredist_x86.exe
LaunchArg3=/q

missing .exe from line.

change > 6- wait until finished (aprox. 1 hour) to 6- wait until finished (aprox. 1 hour / per game!) >> compressing all 3 games has taken so far almost 4 hrs!!!

EDIT:

delete PhysX_8.04.25_SystemSoftware.exe and download latest physx

 
http://us.download.nvidia.com/Window...emSoftware.msi

change setup.ini to latest version as one supplied in-game is very old, & wont update. It will need
to be uninstalled before installing latest version, and IF playing any newer games out there your
Physx will have been updated to latest version already.

Launch2=PhysX 9.12.1031
Launch264=0
Launch2BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom2={sys}\msiexec.exe
LaunchArg2=/qn /i "{src}\PhysX-9.12.1031-SystemSoftware.msi"

[pakrat2k2]

corrected setup.ini with proper path to redist subfolders ( was named support, in original )

[LauncherSettings]
InstallRedist=1
Launch1=DirectX
Launch164=0
Launch1BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom1={src}\Redist\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe
LaunchArg1=/silent
Launch2=PhysX 9.12.1031
Launch264=0
Launch2BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom2={sys}\msiexec.exe

FINALLY got some spare time to test this installer & noticed the error in setup.ini, funny I missed it alltogether when updated Physx to latest version for you
