[GSERIES] Custom Installer Ultimate V2g
 

Attachment 18796

Since yener90 (the initial creator) and BAMsE (the former modder) moved away, I was chosen to further continue the project

Presenting you my first public release.

Thanks.

To protect your setup:
1. Select "External" + "Superprotect".
2. Type in a password.
3. Create Setup.exe
4. Create Setup.bin

Is the leaking button fixed too?

Will update Wiki in the next days.

Please add another style this is to dark
and the text is unreadable for me

thanks for your work

Bug with inno internal compression

Edit: Seems to be a problem on non-genuine windows installations. On my laptop Win10 is genuine and there all is fine.

Something what BAMsE said before to me:

Internal compression works for me in CIU 2040 Beta 5 (on Windows 10 non genuine).

It happens when you recompile after first successful compile, may be the culprit is inappropriate decryption of buffer, I am just studying it

But if you pack a bigger game (at least 2, 3, or 4 DVD's) then you separate bin or cab files into separate folder and try to launch Setup.exe this latter will show an error message asking you for the last bin file.
That means that the last bin or cab created must be present in the first folder.
I'm using CIU 2040 Beta 5 for packing my games and that issue is still present in this version.
Note: If you pack a small game (1 DVD) using internal compressor it'll work fine since all files are in the same folder.
I really thought Bamse would fix it, but unfortunately he's away.:(

I have reported this bug a year ago ^^

Another error more... :( let's hope the guys solve it.

A Good Project
It's good if it supports all the methods.

like:
[External Compressor]
#define pZLibInside
#define Precomp
#define PrecompMT
#define Antiz
#define MSCInside
#define SrepInside
#define ZSTDInside
#define NanoZip

@Simorq:
Most likely not that way, but with iscu.dll (read what razor said in ultraarc thread about it).

So the only thing is add iscu.dll in script when its ready. Nothing more. All features, like compressors and split will be handled by this file.

Hello,
I am under windows 8.1 pro genuine is I have this error:

THANKS everybody to continue this project, i have some things to do

I am sure Prince will add that is but things like antiz the project is no longer,nanozip problem with %.Give the guy sometime.He just started with the project 1 week ago.

hi
So you do not have to add anything unnecessary really have to re-establish the bug as the external compression or create designer I think it's better I hope that I'm not deceived and thank you for all your effort :)

Okay lets look at including the best compressors that currently have support and where the authors are actually constantly working on it.Its pointless adding stuff that going to give constant errors and problems.Guys will be end up fixing more compression issues than having to work on the actual script and its enhancements.

Eg: precomp(all versions from 0.38 to 0.46) , pzlib(latest) , reflate , zstd , oodle lzma and lzma2.

You should wait for Converter Ultra.

No script editing needed if it's included once. All will be handled by it's dll.

So you can add more compressors without editing script again.

Sure thing we can do that once that works with script if users want to mess around with other compressors then its up to them.Which makes life much easier then Prince can work on the script itself.:D

Yes, that was the intention behind that :D

Since CU is dead because our mighty Razor12911 quits, you should not longer wait for a updated release.

Here are a list

Should not mention srep / lzma / delta anyway...
lzma2 = faster than lzma, but slightly different compression ratio (in my tests over 90% are bigger than lzma, but faster).
pzlib = working on most games (>95% success, ~5% it fails, but depends on game)
reflate = Problems on big files, but rest works.
precompMT = Works very good, but i have not tested it much
msc = problems on decompressing dds files (see UA topic, other not tested) with an archive around 3-4GB. Much too slow with high profile. But it's integrated in CIUv2 anyway, so...
lz4 = working build not public
zstd = Don't know much about that, should work good with lz4

Hi,
It's a shame for Razor !!

No it's not a shame. But it's his personall decision anyway. We should respect that.

Yes if it is not anger because if it is anger it is damage!

can anyone voluntarily donate me a design that will be come default with CIU, Credits is always his/her, Only two requirement - use most of the component from the bamse's releases(not mine, removed music related tweaks from the last release)

and one more thing added ultraarc support, just don't want to release with the current design that i messed up during testings, also anyone with requests got free weekend

Edit: Thinking about ways to add custom methods, I can add an option to extract a 7zip file before the extraction of bin that contains arc.ini and other important things(exe and etc.) in temp, Any suggestions?

What do you mean with "beautiful"? :D What design is beautiful to you?

Great.

I had some ideas past days, but forgot them somehow lol. Will let you know when i got them back in my head.

Don't understand. 7zip file contains additional files related to CIU or related to custom methods only? In that case, script must be somehow variable.

"Big results require big ambitions."


after conversion, you make a zip file containing arc.ini, CLS's and executables that u used but not come with ultraarc, then you put where setup.exe is. then at the starting of installation process setup will extract it first in the temp directory, so the it can get all the arc.ini and other stuff needed for the extraction of bin
f.e, let u use ztool(of RAZOR12911) with your setup.exe that don't come with ultraarc, so you make a zip file, put it where the setup is, at the installaion process extract it, then uses the archived exe to extract the bin

170728:

• redone all the tweaks from the previous release.
• Added ultraarc
• added multiple splash(Autorun\ASplash#.png, Setup\Splash#.png,Setup\Splash#_*.png(# - (1 to ?), * - Short name for language))
• multiple backgrounds for setup(already done by bamse, its a bit confusing for me thus write my own code)
• Fixed external compression, was broken in previous release

NOTE: Volume seeker and other music related tweaks from the previous release doesn't work in here, as i messed up external compression while adding them, will be reimplemented as soon as possible

Nice job,thank
I test tonight!

Was that the jpg and png thing? I don't know if that was a bug or a feature, and haven't tested yet, but in previous releases you could only use JPG images for Backgrounds, not PNG ones.

PS: Have you added ztool too?

You mean internal INNO compression?

Haven't tested yet, but should be this way if you decide to let users use internal inno compression:
1. Create Setup.bin normaly (with or without PASSWORD)
2. Share whole CIU folder (except for Setup folder)
3. People must be creating Setup.exe with EXTERNAL switch and INTERNAL compression

ANd why this thread is not sticky yet? Pakrat? Please do it, since it is very usefull.

>>Was that the jpg and png thing? I don't know if that was a bug or a feature, and haven't tested yet, but in previous releases you could only use JPG images for Backgrounds, not PNG ones.

i thought only PNG can be added(previous releases), in this release, you can add multiple PNGs for installer, Installer.bmp, Installer#_*.png(#- counter, *- short name for language)(all Installer*.png should have same dimensions since .bmp is same)

>>You mean internal INNO compression?
vulture protective compression for images(Setup folder) etc.

>> Have you added ztool too?
what we discussed earlier will be implemented, thinking about making something like ultraarc (started writing too, will release a cli tomorrow or on Sunday)

Ahh sorry, i missunderstood you previously. I thought you mean background pictures (in Background folder).

I have wrote that a while back in bug list on other place.

Done :)

Prince
Which UltraArc version should I use for the latest CIU version?
UltraARC 2800 R2 Edition?

for now use official version only

Is there any possibility of modifying by means of setup.ini the time in which splash is shown?

Update available:

170729:

• controls for splash can be set from setup.ini (requested by omdj)

my friend can you fix the #define ProgramFiles option problems please, and add the Recently ini files setting, like CPY.ini, steam_emu.ini, etc, and the same time fix the Language SetIniString. i mean this

NOW
Language = Spanish

IT MUST BE
Language = spanish

update Available:

• Can Edit Ini on the installation
• Music list is back!
• can play any number of music files!
• many changes in Compiler.
• new DebugMode, if Enabled:
  
  Code:

  ---

  • Setup.ini is directly read from {src}, so that you don't have to recompile with every change in Setup.ini
  
  
  • if started with cmdline "/InstallOnly" - then no Uninstall will run even if already installed directly autorun will run
