The Saboteur 1xDVD9 to 1xDVD5

[andrei222]

Many thanks to yener90 for the source and pakrat2k2 for help

1.Install the game and update 1.3 and remove non eng files and folders
My final game size in english only is 5.83 gb but i think with multi 2 will work
Download attachment and unzip were you want except gamefolder

2.Launch and compress the following folders

PHP Code:

AnimText
Cinematics
DLC
FaceFX
France
G15
Global
Recordings
Sound
Support 


and use

PHP Code:

Output archive: Setup-1b.bin
Compression: -m4 normal
Make exe: Not checked 


3.Move setup-1b.bin and folders already compressed to a temp folder or somewere

4.Open installscript.iss and edit the following lines

PHP Code:

#define SourcePath "D:\games\The Saboteur" 


5.Now move setup-1b.bin to The_Saboteur_1xdvd5 folder

6.Copy from your DVD to The_Saboteur_1xdvd5 folder\redist

PHP Code:

Directx(folder)
DotNet2Redistributable(folder)
vcredist_x86_en.exe 


You can create a iso and burn to dvd with any label
and if you have a problem please report me, becouse this conversion is not tested yet

[pakrat2k2]

your autorun.inf has bad label LOL
label=Gears of War

it should be
label=The Saboteur

testing on W7x64 will report back

EDIT:

also need in setup.ini

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Setup-1a.bin;DestDir:{app}\;Disk:1 ;PrecSrep:0; > added this missing line??
FreeArcFile2={src}\Setup-1b.bin;DestDir:{app}\;Disk:1 ;PrecSrep:0; changed file to #2

Launch1=DirectX
Launch164=0
Launch1BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom1=DXRedist\DXSetup.exe > change to Directx
LaunchArg1=/silent

Launch2=vc redist x86
Launch264=0
Launch2BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom2=Redistributable/vcredist_x86_en.exe > added foldername
LaunchArg2=

Launch3=Dotnetfx2 ( for 32 bit users )
Launch364=0
Launch3BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom3=DotNet2Redistributable\dotnetfx.exe
LaunchArg3=

THEN if only have 32 bit system can delete last section

Launch4=netfx64
Launch464=0
Launch4BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom4=DotNet2Redistributable\netfx64.exe
LaunchArg4=



Compiled Langscript.iss to generate Autorun.exe ( not necessarily needed.)
changed autorun.inf

[Autorun]
open=Autorun.exe
icon=Setup.ico
label=The Saboteur

NO Language deletions, Final size 4.15GB
Installed fine. Just the above changes

[ferv]

Hi, I´ve tested with internal compression lzma2/ultra and no language deletion, final size 4.33 Gb w/Redistributables. Installed fine in W7 x64 (I also applied pakrat2k2's corrections)

[sarrah]

But if i will Install come Error ->

An error occurred while decompression: Archive header is corrupt!
Unarc.dll returned an error code:-14
ERROR: this is not FreeArc Archive or this Archiv is corrupt

I Hope any can help me.

wrong^^
enable
Launch464=1
-> means it will be only installed and shown on 64 bit systems.
so dont delete. you dont know what system you will get later^^

Works Great !

1DVD5 with all languages = Sizes 4.33 GB

Compession: lzma2/ultra !

With Changes From Pakrat2k2 (Thank You)
and Changes From Yener90 (Thank You too)

By lzma2/ultra must Remove the follow lines in Setup.ini

[ExtractSettings]
FreeArcFile1={src}\Setup-1a.bin;DestDir:{app}\;Disk:1 ;PrecSrep:0;
FreeArcFile2={src}\Setup-1b.bin;DestDir:{app}\;Disk:1 ;PrecSrep:0;

Install Time ~ 7 minutes.

thanks for the tip, I was actually only adding the missing 32bit dotnet that wasnt even listed. ( never paid any attention to the lines actually, just copy/paste from original post )
