At the very first biggest greetz fly to yener90 'coz this conversion uses his CI source.

NOTE: Files needed can be found in Post #34

1. Install the game and Scarface Explorer


2. Run Scarface Explorer, open with it the following files:

movies.rcf
story_a_to_h.rcf
story_i_to_z.rcf
woi.rcf

and

Extract ---> Extract directory...

their content into {game_folder}
Now you should have a Movies folder (4.67GB) in your {game_folder}
Delete 4 files mentioned above.


3. Download P2_conversion_files.rar and extract to {game_folder}.
Note: See Post #34 for file.


4. Go to {game_folder}\Movies and run #1_video.rlst
This step takes ~6.5h on my E5200 @ 3.5GHz

You can pause it and resume later.To do this click 'STOP' button in RAD Batch Editor, then 'SAVE AS...' button and save as #1_video.rlst. Let Bink Video Compressor finish actually converted file. Next time you run #1_video.rlst, it'll start from next file.

If you must abort conversion immediately there is 2nd method. Click 'STOP' button on RAD Batch Editor and it'll generate "# Error returned:" message at the beginning of line with actually converted file. Delete "# Error returned:" text, click 'SAVE AS...' button
and save as #1_video.rlst. Now click 'CANCEL' button on Bink Video Compressor and answer 'NO' if asking about keeping partially converted file. You can run it later and it starts conversion from last converted (canceled) file.

5. Run #2_audio.rlst.


6. Run #3_copy.bat.


7. Go to {game_folder} and run compress.bat
This step takes ~3.5h on my machine


8. Download P2_DVD5_CI.8.5.rar and extract to TEMP folder.
Note: See Post #34 for file.


9. Go to {game_folder} and move

redist
data1.cab
data2.cab
data3.cab

to

TEMP

10. Make iso/burn content of TEMP folder with any label (final size: 4.34GB)

Differences between biks (thin black lines are not visible during gameplay):

A1_FMV_010071_new.jpg converted (RADTools playback)

A1_FMV_010071_new_ingame.jpg converted (ingame playback)

A1_FMV_010071_orig.jpg original

e3_woi_010000_new.jpg converted (RADTools playback)

e3_woi_010000_new_ingame.jpg converted (ingame playback)

e3_woi_010000_orig.jpg original

UPDATE 1: I've noticed some problems with extracting precomped file. It's solved now, please download P2_DVD5.rar once again (thx Onizuka87k for tip )

UPDATE 2: There are some cracks'n'clicks audible during biks playback. Seems the game has problem with tracks another than 48000Hz. New #2_audio_fixed.rar solves this problem.
If you have done step 5 already and want to fix your audio:
- extract #2_audio_fixed.rar into {game_folder}\Movies
- copy content of converted Movies folder (containing converted biks) into {game_folder}\Movies\#converted
- perform step 5 only (it takes ~5mins)

UPDATE 3: Fixed #1_video.rlst not converting few files (thx Prashantoo7 for finding this mistake). Also #2_audio.rlst from update 2 is included into P2_conversion_files.rar.

UPDATE 4: ported to CI 8.5. Now progressbar works correctly.

Note: See Post #34 for files.

Here we are BAMsE Yeah, nice conversion, looks different from mine!
Anyway i'm wondering why did you choose to compress the movies in this way.. they don't look pretty good

[BAMsE]

Onizuka87k try to convert intro only (story\O1_FMV_010.bik) to prevent 'wasting' time for all biks, place it over the original, run the game and watch it. You'll be no more wondered

[Prashantoo7]

2. Run Scarface Explorer, open with it the following files:
Code:
movies.rcf
story_a_to_h.rcf
story_i_to_z.rcf
woi.rcf

Should this files extracted to P2_conversion_files\Movies\#converted
or to game folder ??

[Fabioddq]

Hi Bamse! Nice job as always! Could I clarify a doubt?

How to add or excluded archives from compression in bat file?
For example, in:

arc a -ep1 -r -w.\ .\output -mlzma:a1:mfbt4:d256m:fb128:mc1000:lc8 "path"

how to specify which files I want to include or exclude of the compression?

EDIT...
Another problem I have. The precomp always fail and crash (APPCRASH) with big files. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks for help!

[Prashantoo7]

I have changed Autorun screen
i hope u dont mind it



and here its attached file :-

[BAMsE]

Fabioddq -n"path" adds files, -x"path" excludes. These switches supports list of files listed in txt file e.g. -n@files_list.txt adds all files listed in files_list.txt

UPDATE 2: There are some cracks'n'clicks audible during biks playback. Seems the game has problem with tracks another than 48000Hz. New #2_audio_fixed.rar solves this problem.
If you have done step 5 already and want to fix your audio:
- extract #2_audio_fixed.rar into {game_folder}\Movies
- copy content of converted Movies folder (containing converted biks) into {game_folder}\Movies\#converted
- perform step 5 only (it takes ~5mins)

Which program i must use to run #2_audio.rlst and #3_copy.bat. Pls help

[Prashantoo7]

After finishing compress.bat file
should i delete the orginal story files, movies.rcf file, and woi file
and keep the converted files ?

[BAMsE]

sstanke RADTools for rlst and... Windows for bat

Prashantoo7 after performing steps 7-10 you have complete conversion. Do what you want with original files

[Prashantoo7]

i extract P2_conversion_files into game folder
i run #1video file and #2audio file
completed them
also complete #3copy.bat file
and last i have to run compile.bat file
but first
The game folder size is 9.89 GB
the video files which are converted using RAD tool
are in #converted folder
the compression will be taking videos from #converted files
now the question is
should i remove the orginal video files to start the compression ?

[BAMsE]

You can, but you don't have to. Compressor will process necessary files only (compress only converted ones)

[Prashantoo7]

Finally its complete
final size 4.32 GB
