Alone In The Dark 5 [Multi 5] (DVD9 to 2x DVD5)
 

1--> Copy the “Data” directory from the DvD9 to a temporal directory on your hardware.

2--> Copy the “Alone.exe” ,“Manual.pdf” and the “Readme” files into the “Data” Temp folder.

3--> Move the folders “Movies” and “Shadercache” from the “Data” Temp folder to another folder called “1” . Put the “1” folder into the “Data” Temp folder.

PD: So you have a Temp folder in your Hardware (desktop for example) and inside you have all the files of the game (A big ,etc...) and one folder with videos (called “1”)

4--> Download and install Inno Setup (http://www.jrsoftware.org/isdl.php )

5--> Download this file and extract it all into the “Data” Temp folder. ( Attachment 487 )

6--> Right clic on the *.iss file and choose “Compile” option.

7--> This will create a folder called “Output” where the setup files will be created.

8--> Now put the “Autorun.inf and the “game.ico” files to te Output folder.
9--> Edit the “Autorun.inf” like this :
[autorun]
OPEN=setup.exe
icon=game.ico

10--> Copy the directory “DirectXRedist” and “VCRedist” from DvD9 to the “Output” folder.
PD: You can also put another folder to put patches , etc ...

11--> Now you have all the game into the Temp folder !
12--> Burn all the content of the “Output” folder (the “setup-3.bin” and others will be put into the second DvD)
13--> Burn the “setup-3.bin” , “setup-4.bin”, “setup-5.bin” to the second DvD5
For the second DvD5 , edit Autorun like this :
[autorun]
OPEN=0
icon=game.ico

Notes:
No internet requiered , uninstall works , all works :D
Try it first before burning ; you can repport me any bugs/errors and I will fix it.
Sorry for my bad english :P

Tried it and the installation does work well, i just found one glitch as it asks for Disk3 and not Disk2 not a real hassle though.

Thanks snapx

Yeah , it ask for the DvD3 , but you put the second DvD and it will install well :cool:

Okei , I can modify the setup for you language but it uses the same files ???
Open the *.ISS file and put this above the " [Languages] " section :

Name: "czech"; MessagesFile: "compiler:Languages\Czech.isl"

It will look like this :


Try it , and tell me.

For the volume label , I use "AITD_DVD1" for DvD 1 and "AITD_DVD2" for the second DvD :D

snapx installation works great, only glitch is that setup ask for Disk3 not Disk2. just edit this lines marked red in snapx .ISS file

and setup will create 5 .bin files
put setup-1 files on dvd1 and setup-2 files on dvd2 and installation will ask you to insert disk2.

Combined snapx + lonerunner
and game work well.
One little edit in AITD.iss :

[Setup]
DiskSpanning=true
SlicesPerDisk=3
DiskSliceSize=1257664000

If chose DiskSliceSize=1566000000 , DVD 1 wil be over 4,3 gigs.

Thanks for both

you got that right, i ended up with only 3 mb free space on DVD1 and i had to put directx and vcredist on dvd2

They combined posts from snapx, lonerunner & softy2k works perfectly fine. Tnx alot guys.

Alone In The Dark 5 [Multi 5] (DVD9 to 2x DVD5)
 

Combining the three post (snapx + lonernner + softy2k) worked.
But I found a problem.
The Alone.exe shortcut in start menu does not work.
How do you solve this little detail?

Alone In The Dark 5 (DVD9 para DVD5 2x)
 

I resolved my problem from the start menu.
If you are having the same problem, simply add the command line written in red for "AITD.iss".

Still need the original disc to continue
 

I made the two DVD disc as your instructions say. But when I run the game I get the message "Wrong disc". What could be wrong?

look at very top of forum > Gamecopyworld link, grab the no-cd crack for the game.
that's whats wrong, its not original cd.
