Fallout 3 Goty Edition + Innosetup

[clriboli]

Fallout 3\Game Of The Year

Install notes

move these files within the Setup folder where the files from the installer compiled

Autorun.inf
Setup.cab
setup.dll
setup.inf

After delete folder and files

GDF replace
include
Langsymbols
Languages

Install notes.txt
Eula.rtf
InstallerScript.iss


Update 1.2

fixes

* registration error that caused the non-availability of the play button in the Launcher the game among other options

* New background images during the slides updated

* New buttons of menus

* Removed the anomaly where the cursor would change after the autorun Installer and slides now appears the system cursor as default

* Updated installer's EULA

Note:
* Before creating the installer copy the dll file inside the folder "GDF replace" and paste in the game directory overwriting the file that is there

* Steam version the game will be about 4.2 GB and DVD Retail version will have about 6.28 GB Game version of the Year but there may be variations in size depending on the language of the game because it has been tested on English version

* Steam version probably will be more time-consuming installation as well as the creation of the installer for the steam version has over 159 thousand files and probably this is the reason for the compression and the delay in compiling and installing and DVD Retail version has 155 files in the directory why has this difference to fit on a DVD or 2

* The game is not in the redist Setup.ini because most Redist is already installed in the system but if you want you can add it

I want to thank the yener90 for wonderful script and good job on conversions in this forum


NOTE:

*If you do not like to have slides in the installer you can open the file with 7 ZIP program setup.cab and delete the folder background that the installer had installed in the menu mode and not in slide mode

ATTENTION

for unknown reasons the addition of record that enabled the DLC in Data Files in the game Launcher failed and according to my report it was found that the registry for some reason without explanation was not recognized by the game Launcher even if correct and inexplicably the game Launcher only recognizes the DLC if it is installed the record separately and not along in installer and all methods already commented on this post failed being that only the method of Add the registry manually it worked so I did an upload records that enable the DLC whose record is already integrated into the script as mentioned in 1.2 update but for work should reinstall the registry again

* By default logging is configured for the directory

C:\Program Files (x86)\Bethesda Softworks\Fallout 3 \

If you are not in this directory please change it in the registry before install it

Hi there,

Would you be able to tell me how I can get the GOTY Edition to fit on a 1xDVD5?

Everytime I try it outputs at 5.69GB.

I hope you can help.

Thanks

Same with me here. Nowhere it will fit into 1xDVD5.
Currently trying to compress the game without its 5dlc's.
Even though GOTY edition means Game + DLCs. sigh*

Will report final compression size.


p/s :
Compression without DLCs is still not enough. It exceeds 1xdvd5.
Have to either try pakrat2k2's suggestion or go with 2xdvd5 for now.

Thanks pakrat2k2.

[pakrat2k2]

have tried precomp+srep together .. takes much longer for compression but MIGHT just be enough to get to fit ??

[NSCXP2005]

Ok. Would you be able to tell me how I can do that please?

like most of the conversions, use a bat file, but change the compression used to

-mprecomp+srep64+delta+lzma64:a1:mfbt4:d158m:fb273: mc1000:lc8

see if that helps at all, it will take MUCH longer to compress the files & no guarantee that it will still be enough to get it down to 1xdvd5

[NSCXP2005]

Would you be able to make a bat file to convert this to a dvd5?

Thanks

[NamelessOne]

Don't try to fit it to 1DVD5 because it's impossible unless you do a reencoding of movie and audio files to lower bitrate. Otherwise, you're just wasting your time

[mier90]

Can someone make the compression for this game on 2xdvd5 since 1xdvd5 is most probably not possible (@ take hell lot of time)?


I compress my game using clriboli 4-5 times already, but all resulted in the same situation.

Compression and installation part ended successfully, and quite fast too.

But whenever i wanna play the game, click the .exe shortcut on desktop, nothing happen.

Check the setup.ini & make sure the exe is the correct one & that if its located NOT in root of game the the folder location is specified.
This is all based of Yener90's CI8574 script, which can be changed very easily for more compression, which should fit easily on 2xdvd5.

Pakrat2k2,

Would you be able to make a 2xDVD5 conversion from Installed game as the rest ask from DVD9. I have the installed version.

Thanks

[pakrat2k2]

use the one from this post, it uses installed games files. Only thing you need to add is the REDIST files.

Gamefolder\DXREDIST ( Directx files )
Gamefolder\G4WL (Contains following files )
- dotnetfx3.exe
- dotnetfx3_x64.exe
- vcredist_x86.exe
- XLiveRedist01.02.0241.00.msi

I'm SURE you can ALL find these by yourself

SO the correct Setup.ini ( Launcher Settings at the bottom, just copy/paste.. overwrite)

 [LauncherSettings]

 InstallRedist=1
  
 Launch1=DirectX
Launch164=0
Launch1BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom1={app}\DXREDIST\DXSETUP.exe
LaunchArg1=/silent
  
 Launch2=Visual C++ 2005 X86
Launch264=0
Launch2BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom2={app}\G4WL\vcredist_x86.exe
LaunchArg2=/silent
  
 Launch3=Games for Windows® - LIVE
Launch364=0
Launch3BeforeInstall=0
LaunchCom3={app}\G4WL\XLiveRedist01.02.0241.00.msi
LaunchArg3=/q /nu /norestart
  
 Launch4=.NET Framework 3.0
Launch464=0
Launch4BeforeInstall=1
LaunchCom4={app}\G4WL\dotnetfx3.exe
LaunchArg4=/q /norestart
  
 Launch5=.NET Framework 3.0 X64
Launch564=0
Launch5BeforeInstall=1
LaunchCom5={app}\G4WL\dotnetfx3_x64.exe
LaunchArg5=/q /norestart

I WILL be testing the script as it is & post back if needs corrections to fit 2xdvd5.

EDIT: Worked fine using script as is, WITH the changes made to setup.ini, ALL fits 2xdvd5.
