Thief (3x DVD5) *USMs resampling*

[peterf1999]

Thief
(3x DVD5)

1) Install the game

2) Extract 'THIEF_3xDVD5.7z.001 ... THIEF_3xDVD5.7z.006' contents (not in game folder)

3) Launch Compress.bat & wait...

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

Note:
Four USM videos are resampled to bitrate ~60-65% of original ones.
You must have patch v1.2 or later installed.
The default conversion is for english language, with few changes
can be adapted to the language of your choice:

e.g:
Open arc.cl with text editor and then edit the row as follow for italian language:

from

-ep-- -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d180m:fb273:mc10000:lc8#ThiefGame\CookedPCNG\English(US)\*#Data6.bin#Disk3

to

.Desktop & Start menu's 64 bit game shortcuts are no longer created on x86 OS
excuse the ignorance .. but does not create the same coder these shortcuts, or do you mean something else? please explain sir.

• Desktop & Start menu's 64 bit game shortcuts are no longer created on x86 OS

Extract file attachment content to THIEF_3xDVD5\THIEF\Disk1 folder and then launch Patch.bat.

The integrity of archives is ok, use 7-zip to extract the files.

Did you make an autorun for this as well? Usually you put up a screenshot or two of your work

got some overload on DVD3 :-( but using isz format instead of iso makes it fit to DVD5

I used Verbatim dvd-r and it fits on DVD5.

Anyway, you can increment the amount of compression memory to gain more free room:

-ep-- -r -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d180m:fb273:mc10000:lc8#@Data5.lst#Data5.bin#Disk3
-ep-- -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d180m:fb273:mc10000:lc8#ThiefGame\CookedPCNG\English(US)\*#Data6.bin#Disk3
-ep-- -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d180m:fb273:mc10000:lc8#ThiefGame\Movies\PC\*#Data7.bin#Disk3

-ep-- -r -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d210m:fb273:mc10000:lc8#@Data5.lst#Data5.bin#Disk3
-ep-- -lc- -w.\ -s; -msrep+delta+lzma:a1:mfbt4:d210m:fb273:mc10000:lc8#ThiefGame\CookedPCNG\English(US)\*#Data6.bin#Disk3

A 32 bit version of windows can't execute a 64 bit exe, so it's useless to create a 64 bit shortcuts on 32 bit installation.

thanks you time for me
lo sapevo questo segue la logica, pensavo altro grazie della risposta

[prudislav]

will try to use more compression

EDIT: after d210m it fits fine thx

[robbos21]

Doing this now to test on win 7 x64, will take around an hour according to time on top bar for 1st data.bin file, so will see how long full convo when done all others

Edit: Full convo took all of 3.50 hours on my system......

ASUS SERIES

[Darkangel5]

sorry to use google translation to translate.

Hi peterf , thanks for the conversion.
I have a problem, my DVD1 is 4.43 gb.

DVD1 4.43 gb
DVD2 4.36 gb
DVD 4.37 gb

The game is updated at 1.2 version, I chose the english language.

I think the problem is common redist folder. In the installation game folder there are a _commonredist folder that is 116 mb. This folder is also present in Disk 1 after conversion; Disk 1 size without it is 4.31 gb.
I need maybe to delete this folder from installation game folder and re-run the conversion? Or delete it from Disk1?
Another question, the subtitles in other language were keep after conversion?
