Thks !!
The setup with the trailer is awesome
hope it was 4xDVD5 instead of 6xDVD5
but still better (Y) :D

Friend Fabioddq would you make a 4XDVD5? For his menu is spectacular. Thank you. =)

Sorry bro! I used maximum compression (lzma2/ultra64) for internal installation.
For 4xDVD5 is need precomp and srep, but i not have knowledge about this and not have time unfortunately. :D
With 6xDVD5 the installation is more quick. ;) :D
I'm glad you liked it!

With compression none on a system: quad core i5, 6 Giga ddram3 conversion takes 9 minutes, and installation takes about 30 minutes! Results 7 DVD5!
With compression lzma2/ultra64 on the same system conversion takes 3 hours and 20 minutes and installation takes 1 hour and 20 minutes!Results 6 DVD5
With compression lzma with the same system conversion takes 2 hours and 10 minutes and installation takes about 55 minutes! Results 6 DVD5 + 1 CD!
I chose compression none and 7DVD5 because of time restraints conversion and installation!
We chose setup with images not video file this because Video files repetition is frustrating!Think you're watching an hour and 20 minutes continuously a movie about two minutes!
Thanks Fabioddq! Tested and retested on Win 7 x64! Worked out great!
P.S.-Change in ISS Script DiskSliceSize = 1556000000 to DiskSliceSize = 1550000000 otherwise DVD1 will exceed 4.7 Giga because Setup.cab which contains video file -18.1 MB (19,001,344 bytes) ,total Setup.cab-36.1 MB (37,949,440 bytes)!

Hmm... My DVD1 not exceed (4,38GB --> 1xDVD5).
Anyway, thanks for the informations! :D

EDIT...

With DiskSliceSize = 1550000000, the final size of DVD1 is 4,36GB.
I choose too 7xDVD5. Installation is fast, 20 min on my PC. :D

To be honest, I think I too would prefer the 7 DVD option,

.... will add it too the Index very soon Fabioddq, just gathering the other Newer ones as well.

When I add new conversions to the Index I 'always' edit the date as the 'Reason Given for Editing' in the actual Index Post and also in the Main Forum Link, so peeps can always check the dates to see if their conversions should have been added or if they have been accidentally missed. ;)
Example: CD2DVD Conversion GameIndex **UPDATED: 11-06-2012**

EDIT: Now added to Index ;)

automatic redist instalation don't work... nothing is opened at the end of installation...

I found a little error in Setup.ini, change: vcredist_x86_2008_sp1.exe to vcredist_x86.exe

Note: Not have to compile the installer again. Just open DVD1 image (with Power ISO for example) and fix Setup.ini
Others redistributables are installing normally.

Thanks for reporting.

Updated to v1.0.1:
Just little changes: :D

v1.0.1: Changed DiskSliceSize = 1556000000 to DiskSliceSize = 1550000000
Fix Setup.ini - changed name under: vcredist_x86_2008_sp1.exe to vcredist_x86.exe

Fabioddq nice job tested worked with win7 32bit

How to show images instead of video in background?

Just delete Video.avi from Setup.cab ;)

if i delete video.avi, does it need to edit iss script?

Not necessary. Just delete Video.avi from Setup.cab and leave images (1.jpg, 2,3...) :D

Thanks for the answer fabio... gonna test this this week... hope it works just fine...

how can i remove balloon script seems in system tray?
version in program add/remove seems yener90, where can i write version numbers in script?

Why you want to remove? This makes no sense.
This ballon show the information about creator of the installer and editor/graphics.
I think it's not possible to remove. Is like a signature.

i just don't like balloon infos. you could add an about button to installer.

the program stop to work after 20 min and i need to force close,but i can compile the game with the crack?

Yes, you can do. Seems that the program stop, it does happen. But he continues to fill the setup.bin* files. Just wait the conversion. Go to coffee or beer :D:D

You can do make fast conversion with 7xDVD5. Change compression to: none
~ 20 min on my PC.

tested and working on win7 64bit SP1
if you can help:
- The attachment file must be unzipped only with freearc (winrar and 7 zip gives error messages)
- The faster conversion is 7xDVD5 (about 20 minutes)
- At the conversion 7xDVD5 we must add MP3_7 folder (which you then copy the file autorun.ini, setup.ico, the Redistributables folder from DVD9 and folders of any crack / patch)
Thanks for the conversion!

I downloaded the attachment now, and extract with winrar and 7zip. No erros message. Extract normally. ;)
About 7xDVD5, you're right :D

Thanks for the comment!

Ok, maybe it's only my problem.
I think it's important for other users write my opinion at the first post... if anyone would to convert in 7xDVD5...
Thanx a lot for this convertion!!!

Ok! I will add. :D

Bluray?
 

Please someone tell me what to do if I want to fit all this DVDs to one Bluray blank disc (25gb). Thank you in advance!!!!

If you wish use a Bluray, make the conversion with 7xDVD5 because is to more fast (conversion and installation): Compression: none - Time: ~ 20 min - Result: 7xDVD5 - Installation: ~ 20 min.
For make conversion with 7xDVD5 open InstallerScript.iss and change: Compression: lzma2/Ultra64 to Compression: none

After put all following archives in MP3_1 folder:

Setup1*.bin files; Setup.cab; Setup.dll; Setup.exe; Setup.ico; Setup.ini;
Setup2*.bin files;
Setup3*.bin files;
Setup4*.bin files;
Setup5*.bin files;
Setup6*.bin files.

In MP3_1 folder open Autorun.inf with notepad and change:

Label=MP3_1 to MP3

Make ISO with the name MP3 and test before you burn on Bluray. :D

If Fabioddq agrees, I can upload GFX from my 4xDVD5 conversion to be used with his one :D Mine is too complicated / time-consuming to publish it
Attachment 3591

Sure Bamse! Do it! By the way, what the program you use to make this 3D pictures?

Fabioddq i'm using PS, Vanishing Point tool and 3D layer feature.
Here's my GFX. Use it with pleasure :)

Needed part of setup.ini

Ok Bamse! Thanks for sharing your work! :D You want that I add in the first post?

Fabioddq, I have a question. Is it normal to say "warning" in that part of the conversion? or I'm doing something wrong? I leave a picture so you can see what I say...
I use conversion to 7dvd5.
http://k39.kn3.net/B3152DEC0.jpg

It happened to me too. but didn't have any problem in the conversion. ;)

the 'warning' at the bottom of the compiling section is just notes that some of the languages dont have some custom messages in their language, so it will use the ones from the default one. NO Biggie, doesnt effect the conversion at all.

Ok, thanks!
Ok. Finish installing the game and not had a problem. Tested under windows 7 x86. Thank you Fabioddq!

Hi the instalation and the language of the game will be in english? In that case, how can choose the Spanish Language. Thanks! Great Job!

After conversion just install the game in your language (Spanish). ;)

but in zip conpression what time is and how many dvd5 is i think is 5xdvd5
sorry for my bad englis

Zip Compression: I don't know. :confused:
5xDVD5: Try the conversion by Peter (3xDVD5 or 4xDVD5). ;)

Max Payne 3: Complete Edition released a few days ago. I've done the conversion but the shortcut is changed now.
In old edition exe name was "PlayMaxPayne3" but now it is "MaxPayne3".

in the "setup.ini" file I can see "MyExecutableName=PlayMaxPayne3", so is it enough to change the exe name to have a proper shortcut on desktop or there are some other things to do?

By the way: conversion result

compression=None ===> 8 DVD5s and the 8th DVD is 2.16 GB
compression=lzma ===> 7 DVD5s and the 7th DVD is 3.76 GB
