F.3.A.R. (1x DVD5) *INNO+FreeArc*

1) Extract 'F3AR_1xDVD5.7z' contents

2) Move 'Streamed' & 'redist' folders from Game's installation folder to 'F3AR_DVD5' folder

3) Launch FreeArc and then compress the Game's installation folder contents:

Output archive: F3AR
Compression: -mx -ld800m
Make exe: Not checked

4) Move 'F3AR.arc' to 'F3AR_DVD5' folder

5) Burn or make iso with label name of your choice

And then neither Publishers nor "releaZes" do THAT "state-of-art" installer...

Try The witcher 2 custom menu//installer (By Peterf1999, BTW, so thanks HIM, not me) as an example.

Just read it carefully...

To sumarize:
- Move the 'Streamed' & 'redist' folders from the game folder to the "F3AR_DVD5" folder
- Then compress EVERYTHING ELSE INSIDE THE GAME FOLDER (Basically, you'll compress the entire game minus "Streamed" and "Redist" folders you've moved in step 2) with Freearc.



I haven't tested the conversion myself, but being from Peterf1999, I hardly question the conversion quality.

Peter, could you share the images you used in the the installer, or show me where you got them? I can't find the large black one of Alma w/ the logo in pic # 2... Thanks.

Use Innounp to extract all f3ar setup.exe embedded files:

Innounp -x -m Setup.exe

Thanks, recovered all the resources.

Can you explain why when rerunning the script ( after innounp ), none of the screenshots work, like your original setup.exe does? ( messing around again, with your installer, but none of the images show up after inno recompiles the setup.exe. The screenshot with install/uninstall/browse dvd/exit.. no longer displays)

The decompiler for embedded\CompiledCode.bin file made by the RemObjects Pascal Script compiler doesn't exist.
When you use Innounp to extract the embedded files,it recovers a few portions of the installation script (.iss file), but not the code section.

many thanks for that explanation

hoping you'll post the full iss script you've written for this
