You use this for all the chapters or what?

Conversion added for GOG version & updated main for Book 5 Redux version

[WaltonSimons]

The inside-installer text shouldn't mention any book or its specific title as it will compress the entire game, IMO. Unless of course one wishes to compress just the update from book 4 to the full package. ;-)

[pakrat2k2]

Look again at the update numbers. GOG / Steam BOTH include books 1-5 with those updates installed.

[WaltonSimons]

Then yes, no specific book title should be mentioned in the setup text as the conversion is for the entire Dreamfall Chapters.

[Grumpy]

Pakrat, I think Walton is talking about the 'Welcome' screen text?

This will install Dreamfall Chapters BookFive Redux on your computer.

Since it contains ALL the 'books' there is no need to mention just Five.

So should it be...

This will install Dreamfall Chapters Redux on your computer.

Or should it be ..

This will install Dreamfall Chapters Book 1-5 Redux on your computer.

[WaltonSimons]

Not really, Redux is just the title of Book Five. Book One was titled Reborn, Book Two: Rebels, Book Three: Realms, Book Four: Revelations and lastly, Book Five is titled Redux.

The full game title is just Dreamfall Chapters or Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey, Grumpy-san.

[WaltonSimons]

So should it be...

This will install Dreamfall Chapters on your computer.

Or should it be...

This will install Dreamfall Chapters: The Longest Journey on your computer.

[pakrat2k2]

Updated Welcome screens to Dreamfall Chapters The Longest Journey, as requested.

Thanks Walton, I dont have the game and I didnt know the correct names of each book, but I did roughly know what you were referring too about the Welcome text.

[pakrat2k2]

hard choice, I originally had it as just dreamfall chapters when I first did it, but then with each book coming out I couldn't decide if it should end at the last book, or just as it is now.

[WaltonSimons]

In general, for conversions of episodic games, the rule of thumb is really simple:

At any given point of time, be the game complete or not yet, a person willing to package it into a custom installer for backup will apply the conversion to the entire game, so it's in general better to just leave game title or add "Complete Edition", "Season #" (if there are more standalone seasons like in TWD's case for example which has two main seasons) or "Game of the Year Edition" if said award was presented, or "Ultimate Edition", basically that sort of stuff for complete packages but these aren't really necessary for single-season episodics at all. The best, cleanest way is to leave the full game title and leave it at that.

some issue identified during installation as per the image attached.

1. Overlap text when extracting file with long name.

2. Percentage number, it seem to have been crop a bit.

3. Wording is not in the center of the small installer box, as seen in the picture it is justified to the left hand side.

4. Is it by default that the left side is red thread with single long line, and right side is the dream-fall chapters. (Is yes, then just ignore this issue)

looking forward for the feedback from others.


Apart from issues above, installation finished without error, and game run well. :Thumbs up:

GOG or other installer ?
