Why not simply use external Setup.ini???:rolleyes:

Setup.ini
Code:
[Executable#]
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
//Name=                        // string
//Type=                        // string                ("", "NORMAL", "STEAM", "GOG", "UWP", without quotes) ("" = "NORMAL")
//Exe=                          // string
//ExePath=                      // string
//WorkDir=                      // string
//Parameter=                    // string
//Icon=                        // string
//GDFBinary=                    // string
//GDFBinary<LNG>=              // string
//ShortcutProt=                // 0 / 1
//RunAsAdmin=                  // 0 / 1
//ManifestID=                  // integer
And I wondering why this game isn't in the database.

Code:
Data1.Name=Data<game><data>-01.bin
Data1.Method1=msc+srep+LZMA-MT|0
Data1.InclText=*.rpf
Data2.Name=Data<game><data>-01.bin
Data2.Method1=xtool:mzlib+srep+LZMA-MT|0
Data2.InclText=*.img|*.wtd
Data3.Name=Data<game><data>-01.bin
Data3.Method1=bpk|0
Data3.InclText=*.bik
Data4.Name=Data<game><data>-01.bin
Data4.Method1=srep+LZMA-MT|0
Data4.ExclText=*.img|*.rpf|*.bik|*.wtd

Both games have different folders my Conversion use the El_a*m*g*s
and Danziel123 use the r*z*r

KaktoR 03-01-2024 09:10
And now what? I downloaded both.

The only difference is that GTAIV.exe is in root folder in rzr release.
In the other one GTAIV.exe is in a subfolder.

So my shared Setup.ini is perfect for the rzr version.

kj911 03-01-2024 10:06
How come the installed size of the current pirated version is ~9GB smaller than the previous versions released in 1-2-3+ years ago?

Does the rzr installation package support all methods available from Diskspan? How much can we gain if we compress with LOLZ instead of LZMA?
UPD: Checked alternative install package, its yes!
