Spec Ops: The Line DVD9 to 1xDVD5 (1 language, no multi-player)

[Onizuka87k]

Spec Ops: The Line
DVD9 to 1xDVD5 WITHOUT MP AND WITH ONLY 1 LANGUAGE
* BASED ON REV0's SETUP *

Movies cut: Only MP movies
Bik Resampling: No
Files cut: MP
Languages: Only one
FreeArc: Yes
Precomp & Srep: No

1. Follow step 1, 3 and 4 from REV0's istructions.
Edit the path of the installation folder with your one in the main script.
Leave in the script the compression level to lzma2/ultra64.
Save it and close.

2. Go to <installation_folder>\Engine\Localization and leave only the INT folder (english) and the other language you want!
(ie: for italian you have to leave INT and ITA, DEU/FRA/ESN must be moved away).

3. Do the same of the step 2 but in this folder <installation_folder>\SRGame\Localization.

4. Go to <installation_folder>\SRGame\Movies and delete (or move away) all the multiplayer's movies. They all start with "MP_" as title!

5. Go to <installation_folder>\SRGame\CookedPCConsole and delete (or move away) all the multiplayer's files. They all start with "MP" as title!

A simple batch command could be:
>move MP* ..\..\..\Backup\SRGame_Cooked
or if you don't care about the movies
>del MP*

6. In the same folder of step 5 you have to delete or move away all the other language's files.
(ie: for italian you need to delete (or move away) all files contain as part of the name "LOC_DEU", "LOC_ESN", "LOC_FRA", "LOC_INT". INT is ensligh! )

A simple batch command (for italian) could be:
>move *LOC_DEU* ..\..\..\Backup\SRGame_Cooked
>move *LOC_ESN* ..\..\..\Backup\SRGame_Cooked
>move *LOC_FRA* ..\..\..\Backup\SRGame_Cooked
>move *LOC_INT* ..\..\..\Backup\SRGame_Cooked

Informations:
At this point you should have these sizes (or similar):
Movie folder: ~1.15GB
CookedPCConsole: ~4.90GB

7. Launch FreeArc and then compress the content of the folder "<installation_folder>\SRGame\CookedPCConsole":

Output archive: Setup-1b.bin
Compression: -mx -ld800m
Make exe: Not checked

Size of Setup-1b.bin: ~3.03GB

8. Move Setup-1b.bin away (NOT in the REV0's setup folder because when you'll compile the script Inno will automatically delete all the Setup-*.bin files in the script folder!)
(Thanks The-revenge for having reported the issue)

9. Delete the content of <installation_folder>\SRGame\CookedPCConsole

10. In the REV0's setup folder create a new folder, called it "Redistributables" and move DirectX's folder to this place, also move vcredist setups.

11. In the REV0's setup folder, edit Setup.ini adding these lines (after [InstallOptions] part):

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Setup-1b.bin;DestDir:{app}\SRGame\CookedPCConsole;Disk:1 ;PrecSrep:0;

12. Now open the Inno script and compile it. On my machine it took like 15min. It will create only Setup-1a.bin file with size like ~1.09GB.

13. Move Setup-1b.bin into REV0's setup folder

14. Create the ISO with the following files, as shown:


My ISO size: 4.24GB
My ISO free space: 124MB
Installation time: On my machine (Intel C2D E8400) it took exactly 10min!

ps: Obviously THANKS to REV0, all credits go to him!

ps2: I hope someone will appreciate this!
