Need for Speed Pro Street (DVD9 to 1x DVD5)

[ravd]

My mistake little typo, was thinking something else and usually files are .msi when editing orca. No need to rename autorun.dat just try open and select orca from list of installed programs

It will but after compression, 6% of the files have mismatch in md5 hash.
Tested 2 times in Vista x64 with that list and list in my compression pack. Might be just 64bit problem. I did get fewer mismatches when using winxp 32bit

Makecab is safer because that is included in all windows in system32 folder.

and command -l"list.ini" is wrong it should be @list.ini or else cabarc will try insert filenamed -l"list.ini" in the cab

EDIT: by the way, if using 64bit OS delete makecab.exe if using my compression pack, it will then use 64bit makecab. I didn't know this earlier, when i had only winxp 32bit

Here is script for makecab, so no need to download anything, does same what i provided earlier, just make new txt file and copy/paste script there and save as Filename: compress.bat / Save as type: All files (*.*)
Put it to same folder with cab to be compressed.

If you want to compress like Group21.cab just change des=Group1 to des=Group21 in script or any cab you want.

@echo off

SET des=Group1
SET cab=%des%.cab
SET ddf=%des%.ddf

if exist %des% del %des%
if exist %ddf% del %ddf%
md %des%
echo .OPTION EXPLICIT >%ddf%
echo .Set CabinetName1=%cab% >>%ddf%
echo .Set DiskDirectory1=%des% >>%ddf%
echo .Set MaxCabinetSize=2048000000 >>%ddf%
echo .Set MaxDiskSize=2048000000 >>%ddf%
echo .Set InfFileName=del.me1 >>%ddf%
echo .Set RptFileName=del.me2 >>%ddf%
echo .Set Cabinet=on >>%ddf%
echo .Set Compress=on >>%ddf%
echo .Set CompressionType=LZX >>%ddf%
echo .Set CompressionMemory=21 >>%ddf%
for /f "usebackq skip=5 tokens=2* delims=\" %%I in (`extrac32.exe /e /l %des%\ %cab%`) do (
echo %des%\%%~nxI>>%ddf%
)
echo Make md5/sfv or edit ddf before continuing...
pause
makecab.exe /f %ddf%
for /f "skip=11" %%I in (%ddf%) do del /f "%%I"
del del.me1 del.me2

SET des=
SET cab=
SET ddf=

pause

Make md5/sfv or edit ddf before continuing... in script is optional step, pauses there so you can at this point make md5/sfv from extracted files to compare to compressed files or edit ddf if you want to remove files that you don't want into new cab etc. and if after compress for some reason md5/sfv doesn't match for some files, write these down and rerun bat and edit ddf at this point for files that didn't match to

People with dual core, if you are repacking several cabs, example: make two bat files one for Group20 and one for Group21 and run both, makecab.exe uses only 50% of your cpu power so its same to run two makecab instances.

Tested with nfsprostreet, repacked Group1, Group18, Group20, Group21 , File System: ISO9660 + UDF, LABEL: NFSPROSTREET and installed without problem in Vista x64.

Script can be used with any MSCab file and let me know if there is any problems.

NFS PROSTREET MULTI3 ENGLISH/SPANISH/RUSSIAN DVD9 TO 1 LANGUAGE DVD5

First check that you have right version, there should be SOUNDSPEECHPaspeechdat_sp_big in Group118.cab and SOUNDSPEECHPaspeechdat_ru_big in Group119.cab

1) Copy DVD to NFSPROSTREET folder
2) Download rar and extract to NFSPROSTREET folder, check readme
3) Run compress-group1.bat, makes md5 hash file too so you can check compressed files for any mismatch (mismatched files might interfere with booster pack update so it might not update those files)
4) Run compress-group111.bat and compress-group11x_&_11x.bat
5) Move compressed cabs from Group folders to NFSPROSTREETFOLDER
6) Delete .bat files, readme.txt, md5deep.exe, .ddf files and Group folders
7) Edit Support/Localization.ini file and add empty space front of languages under [LOCALES] which you don't want to be seen in Language selection screen.
8) Make patch/crack folder and add latest patches/cracks there
9) Burn or make iso with label NFSPROSTREET

Report back if i made some mistakes and dvd5 doesn't work correctly, at least need more info about SOUNDNIsPs_nis_pc_xx_sbk files, does it only install one of these files for your language
You can check this by looking to game install folder Need for Speed ProStreet\SOUND\NIs

EDIT: IceWolf you did delete all speech files, even english ones.

I don't own this multi3 version so i can't confirm anything or help how to burn it.

Hey, thanks for replying but problem is solved.

I don't know what caused the burn errors or what fixed it, but all I did was make an image file with Alcohol 120%, and then burned the image.

I don't know why I got 4 coasters with Nero and UltraISO. Maybe I had bad DVDs... but I've never run into 4 bad DVDs in a row in my life. I had an occasional bad DVD but the following one would always work. Never 4 in a row.

However, lately my DVD drive had been acting wierd too. It dissapears from My Computer every now and then. But whenever I see it, I don't have problems with it, and when I don't see it, I just reboot and it works. (Don't know if its to do with Vista.)

But in the end, burning with Alcohol 120% did the trick.

Thanks for the batch files ravd. This method and the files should be uploaded to GCW since its better than that DVD9-2-2xDVD5 method thats there!

Final size was 4.12GB together with 1.1 patch and extras!

[chaerun]

Thanks ravd. It's work on XP SP3 too.

[porshya]
