INSTRUCTIONS:
--------------------------------------------------
1. Install WATCH_DOGS and:
- update to v1.03.471 (tested),
- apply NOCD if needed, because there is only 20MB of free disk space on 3rd DVD.

2. Download WD_3xDVD5.rar and extract it to any TEMP (NOT into game folder).
Download data2_for_v1.03.471.rar and overwrite old data2.ini.
Optionally, if you have any DLC installed, download data5_for_DLCs.rar and overwrite old data5.ini (thanks Morgrel for info).
Be sure to have at least 18.3GB of free space on the drive, also additional 5.3GB in the installation folder.
Note: See Post #52 for files.

3. Go to TEMP, run converter.exe:
- choose your game folder or click [Cancel] to use default one,
- choose to shut down your PC after conversion or not (yes, you can go sleep now :D ),
- choose to create iso or not,
- choose preferred language.

4. Test installation and game. Make iso/burn content of WD_# folders with any label.



UPDATE 1:
--------------------------------------------------
- fixed not reconstructing windy_city.dat when installed to the folder with spaces,
- added support for Support folder (need recompressing data2.cab, data3.cab and data5.cab).

Code:

---

TIP:
if you don't want Support folder and have done this conversion before this update,
you don't need to recreate any cab, just download WD_3xDVD5_fix.rar,
extract next to old setup.exe and run patcher.exe

---

UPDATE 2:
--------------------------------------------------
- data2.ini changed due to two additional files added by TheWorse's graphic mod (no need to d/l or recompress anything - this update is for people who want to compress mod files among the rest game files, others may just place mod archive on 3rd DVD and install it manually after game installation)



UPDATE 3:
--------------------------------------------------
- data2.ini changed to suit v1.03.471 update. Unfortunatelly TheWorse's mod v0.7 no longer works witch this version of game

Code:

---

TIP:
if you've prepared this conversion before v1.03.471 update and want to include it,
just recreate data2.cab

Note: See Post #52 for files.

Setup has problem with accessing Program Files folders due to Windows' UAC (copying anything to these folders is forbidden by default). Installation to any other folder works fine.
Now the question is how the hell other functions of setup gain access to system folders?
I have an idea how to override this limitation:
files are merged via cmd console and system's copy command directly into {app} folder (so in our case into Program Files folder). The trick will be to merge them via cmd into {tmp} and then copy to {app} directly via inno.
Please wait for an update or just remember to install to another folder

EDIT: this problem is solved now.

Süper

Banse aki with the disc 2 was 9GB WHAT did I do wrong?

Those desings.. man you are awesome :)

Updated.
If you have prepared all cabs before update 1 and don't need Support folder just d/l WD_3xDVD5_fix.rar, extract next to old setup.exe and run patcher.exe.
If you want Support folder you need to d/l WD_3xDVD5.rar and recreate data2.cab, data3.cab and data5.cab.

@Juggernautwill can you show me the content and sizes of cab files?

Bamse everything worked, wanted to know where I put the support folder which disk

It should be placed automatically on 3rd DVD after data5.cab creation.
If, for some reason, isn't, copy it and delete ReadMe, Licence and Manual folders.

These graphics and ideas are way better than the original one.

thanx for you work. i have issues..my second disk size 1kb.. when install, do without problems.. but only 8gb is the size of the instalation folder.. spanish language, win 7 64bits

Read conversion.log also try move game folder somewhere outside Program Files folder, then run converter again and recreate data2 and data3.cab

thanx for you response, sorry my not google english :) . i start again the convertion. and i post the results when finish.

Check if there are windy_city.dat.001 to 005 files

well i do the convertion, and compared files, and yes the windy_city.dat.001 to 005 files is missing..what is the solution for this?

checking the ini files, in disk 3, in "exclude files", theres a line, that mention windy_city.dat.. i think the solution it will be, erase that line, or is sometime else ?

windy_city.dat is too big for DVD5 even after strong compression. The solution is to split it into smaller parts and this converter makes it for you.
You no longer need windy_city.dat but its slices (windy_city.dat.001 and so on) therefore windy_city.dat is added to excluded files.
Before creating data2.cab, converter splits windy_city.dat, so, if everything went smoothly, you should have five slices in data_win64\worlds\windy_city folder.
But sometimes, converter can't gain full access to system folder (e.g. Windows, Program Files etc.) due to UAC function. In this case writing slices of windy_city.dat into system folder is forbidden.
The solution is to run converter with administrative rights, or simply move game folder outside system folder (e.g. to c:\watch dogs)
Remember you don't need to recreate all cab files - leave proper one, and (if exists) delete those you want to recreate (in this case data2.cab and data3.cab).
Ufff... ;)

thanks for the help, i do the convertion with the parameters that you say, in c:\watch dogs and with permisions of administrator, and uac inactive. always perform the convertions, in that way, i dont think that is the problen, but i do the convertions again, and post the results, thanx again.

theres another important question, the converter use c:\ hdd or the hdd that is descomprese? because in c:\, i install original watchdogs, and i dont have much space.. but i have another hdd, with a lot of space, theres is the place, that i use for the convertion..i mean for TEMP files.. maybe that is the problem, if the temp files it should be in c...

No, the TEMP can be anywhere, irrespective of the game folder. Of course you need at last 18.3 GB for conversion files in TEMP and 5.3 GB for slices in game folder.
So maybe the best solution is to move game folder to another disc (e.g. e:\wd)?

PS. don't quote post if it's just above :)

ok fixed (the post quote) . thanx again, so, if i need 5gb more, in the instalation folder.. then i think the problen is this issue. i have only less than 1gb. so i do more space and start the convertion again. i post the result later.

well i give up.. no matter what i do, always get second disk data3.cab 1kb.. :(

When the converter ends, do you have windy_city.dat.001 to 005 next to windy_city.dat in game folder?
Give me entire log here.

sorry, i delete the folder , at the time i look your post.. but i tell you, when i check the log, it seems perfect. not errors.

in the last convertion i decided, not delete nothing, and when the convertion ask me if i want to overrite the existing files, i say no, so the converter skip the files, the only file that overrite is the data3, and after that, in only a second, the convertion finish..

the data3.cab it still remain in a size 1kb..

and yes, i have the windy_city.dat.001 to 005 next to windy_city.dat in game folder, but the size of all of then are 0 kb..

Delete files windy_city.dat.001 to 005.
Move game folder to disk where you have at last 5.5 GB of free space.
Run converter

Hi What is CIU V2?
and How do you make these setups?

How Can I Download CIU and CI ? Link Please?

Custom Installer Ultimate v2.0.2 - an Inno Setup script written by some cool guy and my friend named yener90. Its standalone compiler and tutorial can be found on Forum-Which-Name-Is-Forbidden-To-Say ;)

please give me a link i cant find it.please i need it.

which word or forum is forbbiden please say it in pm

Disappointed with the quality of graphics in comparison to the E3 2012 trailer?
Be sure to try THIS!

first good job

you first attached file work with me with no problem so do i need to remake the conversion ?

If you d/l attachment before 10.06.2014 (Europe format) / 06.10.2014 (damn US ;) ) the setup will not finish installation if installed to the folder containing spaces. In this case you need fix (just updates setup.exe).

If you d/l it after this day and have updated setup.exe (Support folder present on 3rd DVD) you need nothing more to do.

Conversion updated to suit v1.03.471.
If you've prepared this conversion before v1.03.471 update and want to include it, just recreate data2.cab.

Very Good, No Problems with lastest Update and Looks Great! Hurrraaa!!

To include DLCs simply change in data5.ini:

include=data_win64\worlds\windy_city\windy_city_ca che.* data_win64\worlds\windy_city\windy_city.fat

in

include=data_win64\worlds\windy_city\windy_city_ca che.* data_win64\worlds\windy_city\windy_city.fat data_win64\dlc\*

and it adds the dlcs too

(it still fits in 3 dvd5)

Morgrel thanks for info. Modified data5.ini added to the first post.
What's the size and content of this folder? What DLCs?

Conversion done with spanish language, win 7 x64 SP1. Game with 1.03.471 update + DLCs unlocker. Everything went ok, but the game shortcut points to the wrong direction "E:\Games\WATCH_DOGS\Uninstall.exe /a" instead "bin\watch_dogs.exe" like it's declared on settings.ini file. running the Uninstall.exe /a shortcut, gives you the play option that actually works, but shouldn't it point to the game exe instead an uninstall autorun option?

Just my two cents.

Great job done with this conversion...

Yep, the shortcut should point exactly where it points to make you remember who provided this conversion for you ;)

Workin with version 1.03.483 and DLCs (The Palace Pack, Signature Pack, Breakthrough Pak, Exclusive Missions, Untouchables Pack, Cyberpunk Pack, DedSec Shadow Pack, Blume Agent Pack, Club Justice Pack, R-33B gun, Mp-412 Gun, Conspiracy!, Season Pass)

support for Update v1.04.497? thanks!
