Alan Wake
(2x DVD5) *INNO+Srep+FreeArc(LZMA)* or (1x DVD5) Biks Resampling

1) Extract 'AW_2xDVD5.7z' contents

2) From 'Alan Wake' folder, create 'Data1.bin' archive:

e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk1\Data1.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\*" -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\thirdparty\*" -msrep+exe+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\*"

3) Remove the foreign languages files from 'data' folder (ep999-000-XX.bin,ep999-000-XX.rmdp) except ep999-000-en.bin,ep999-000-en.rmdp files and then from 'Alan Wake' folder create 'Data2.bin' archive:

e.g. arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ .\Disk2\Data2.bin -x"C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\videos\*" -msrep+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "C:\Program Files\Remedy Entertainment\Alan Wake\data\*"

4) Move from Game's installation folder to 'Alan Wake\Disk1' folder :

'thirdparty' folder
'videos' folder

5) Burn or make isos with label names of your choice


1x DVD5 conversion needs to replace the original videos with resampled biks at ~45% bitrate.

Hello,

You are right
I just tried to resampled some videos at 40%, 30MB and up files only (didn't touch files from dlc's folder, just main video) and I got 4.3 GB using only FreeArc -mx (full support to two languages)

Thanks for your work.

Added the percentage text on the progress bar during internal/external files copy.

Hm.. For me, Data1.bin is ~7.1GB and Data2.bin is ~2.1GB..

Not sure what went wrong as I got no error messages. Can you double check what's in the code tag works as you intended..?

[peterf1999]

@d00m3d

Put compress.bat in 'alan wake' conversion folder and then run it.

Update 2:
Now the installer supports the videos and as well the images slideshow during installation time

[d00m3d]

Thank you for the .bat to simplify the procedure, but I redid everything and it worked. Not sure what I had done wrong :P

orry I wanted to ask if the game creates a key in the registry because when I go to uninstall and then reinstall it tells me the autorun and Uninstall play is on.
What is the directory that it creates in the registry?

[pakrat2k2]

lupetto77 you need to uninstall from original instalation before trying from dvd5 conversion.

[lupetto77]

Sorry my fault I was solved. -
