Fallout - New Vegas (1x DVD5) *INNO+Precomp+Srep+FreeArc*

EDIT - But this is important! =X

Peterf1999, I've downloaded and run your custom installer (without doing a single step of the conversion itself). That's how the menu looked here in my PC:

This happened because I've changed the "text and elements size" in "Video resolution" advanced options (In Windows Seven SP1 x64 Ultimate) to 125% of original size. When restored to "Normal" 100% size, everything becomes normal with your installer again.

Of course, as I've used your custom installer without doing the conversion, I've reached the "setup error" screen. However, in this screen, the "close" button in the top of windows (Yeah, the X button) DOES NOT WORK. But only in this window, as I could test.

And yes, this screen was taken with "Text and elements size" set to 125% of original size. That's why there's no "About" and "Finish" buttons in the screen. They reappear after maximizing the window.
There's no "button disappearance" nor "Exit button not working" in any another installer pages, only in this one. Not that it'll happen if one follows the conversion steps...

When peter releases a DVD9 to '2xDVD5' conversion, its not long before people start asking for '1xDVD5'.
And when he releases a 1xDVD5 the people want a 2xDVD5 version.

Poor bloke cant win

Nice work again to Peter.

Unfortunately, Grumpy is damn right! XD
Maybe because his recent 1xDVD5 conversions requires too much work. This one is a very nice example:
- Resampling BIKs (Which takes a HELL of time)
- Resampling audio files
- Create an uncompressed FreeArc file (1st .ARC)
- Then "PreComp"
- then "SRep"
- Then a true compression with FreeArc
- Then pray that everything is working, otherwise... T-T

However, I asked about a 2xDVD5 conversion for this one because it uses TWO .ARC files, like the CoD Black OPS conversion he did:

Considering Peterf1999's newest custom installers, it should be no surprise if it works for 2xDVD5 conversion (and skipping file re-encoding, PreComp and Srep steps) too.

Sorry KillerOh, i wasn't having a go at you, i was just stating how peter must be feeling.
I do know its hard to please everyone, and I can also understand people like variations and choices, they also like things to be easy and fast to do.

My comment was just a general comment, not directed at you though.

No need to sorry, grumpy. I know it was a general comment. And indeed, the fact that we (Me and lots of people that asks for 1xDVD5 for Peter's 2xDVD5 conversions and vice-versa) are "Not always" happy with peterf1999's works is, unfortunately, damn right. >.<



To talk the truth, after someone who I know have tested a 1xDVD5 backup of MoH 2010 (From Peterf1999 too, and it uses FreeArc + PreComp) said that the install time was very long, I've dedided to stick myself for 2xDVD5 backups for every time I read "PreComp" in peter's conversions. Yeah, I'm lazy as hell.

Also, as I quoted twice, this conversion uses two .ARC files, whose names ressemble the ones in CoD Black Ops custom installer.
So it **could** be possible to use this installer for a full (non-reencoding and non-'compression-from-hell') backup for 2xDVD5. That's what I asked to peter.
