The external compression (filter mode) use arc.exe,srep,precomp,arc.ini.

The command lines are listed in compress.bat file.

well the ques. wasn't related with far cry 3,its with darksiders...

btw done the compression of darksiders by external method,but no result...
it seems its really impossible to fit it into 1xdvd5,all my hope just got shattered....

but this one is perfect[far cry 3]

Hi Peter! Thanks for this great (and unexpected) conversion!

One tiny question, do you know which files should I keep in order to play with english voices + spanish texts/subs? I tried multi2 conversion but it doesní fit for a few mb (cutting off entire support folder). I am playing it like that atm, executing the game with spanish command line and selecting "english voices" from the in game options menu.

Kind Regards as always, and Buon Capodanno!!!

Please stop asking questions about other conversions in the wrong Threads!
Its confusing and disrespectful hijacking other topics with your own irrelevant questions!!

Hello Peter thank you very much for this FC3 installer, AWESOME.
I'm a total newbie. I just wanted to ask a few quick questions; here goes.

Firstly: The 15 files you said to remove from the directory will not cause any problems to play the game, will it?

Secondly: I want the game to play English and subtitled (Closed Captioned) in English.
Removing those mentioned files will not cause me to lose my native English language?

Thirdly: Can I use the files posted to compress any other games?

Now I know the compress.bat file will need to be edited and also the autorun.inf file.

Also the FC3 sub folder where the Autorun.exe, autorun.ini and the Setup.exe needs to be changed.

Last but not least: How do I make an Autorun.exe and a Setup.exe?

Thanking you in advance for your superior and awesome work.

Regards,
Errol

Hi Peter I did everything as you said...Downloaded your files and started the compress.bat file. Everything compressed perfectly...Then I made an ISO image and mounted it on my virtual drive to install FC3.

Just about a minute or so into the installation I got this two error (look at pictures below) so I clicked OK and OK...continued to install everything went fine after that, then finished installation.

Then I started the game everything works perfectly.

My only problem is the two errors I picked up in the early stage of the installation. Can you help me to fix it?

P.S. Forgot to say that just as I started to install it asked me to install xvideo decoder!!! Why?



Regards,
Errol

BTW: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND ALL MEMBERS.

error message maybe because you missed step #5..

5) Copy from DVD9 to 'FC3_1xDVD5\FC3' folder :
'Support' folder (except dotNetFramework folder)

check your ISO & make sure the Support folder is there!

Remove original installation

OR

open regedit and then remove the registry entry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Ubisoft\Far Cry 3 (x64)

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Ubisoft\Far Cry 3 (x86)

If you mean of using precomp.exe,srep.exe,arc.exe, the answer is yes.

You need Inno Setup installer and knowledge of Pascal (programming language)
