CIU 3.0.0.0.1 (beta 7, update 5)

New version of CIU 3.0.0.0.1.b7.u5 added.

NOTES: If you created a compression with the previous version it will be necessary to update the file Setup.dll because now CLS-DiskSpan.dll and the Facompress libraries must be inside Setup.dll.
If you already have the previous compression, you can use the ".bat" file to extract the Setup.dll file and include the CLS-DISKSPAN.dll + Facompress.dll + Facompress_mt.dll files from Resources folder and recompress Setup.dll file.

CIU 3.0.0.0.1.b8 (beta 8)

New version of CIU 3.0.0.0.1.b8 added again.
It is now possible to configure DiskSpan_GUI using FreeArc masks (masked compression).
To allow masked compression it is necessary to check the "UltraARC MODE" checkbox on the settings page to disable diskspan.
Also is possible to combine lists/excludes with masked compression.
The masking mode will only be supported by searching (Choose button) for the method referring to the Data#.bin file.
P.S: The methods for GLOBAL and GAME method do not support masks selection.
Using compressions in "UltraARC MODE", if you need to split the file, you will need the same total size as the Data#.bin file to do the splitting.
The same extra space is needed to merge the parts before extraction.
An option has been included in DiskSpan_GUI in the Unlimited tab that allows you to define customized sizes for the type of media (Not pre-configurable).
The compressors compatibility with "DiskSpan.bat" and "UltraARC.exe" has been removed completely.
Some things have changed, so take a quick tour of the changelog file.

HOTFIX:
- Fixed DiskSpan_GUI to NO shuntdown PC on click in Abort button (Thanks to KaktoR for the suggestion).
- Fixed to include CLS-BPK.dll decompressor inside Setup.dll.
- Added support for new lz4 and zstd methods (XTool 2020 v0.3.4) and some errors have been fixed in DiskSpan_GUI.

1) Download CIU 3.0.0.1.b8 source code, CIU 3.0.0.1.b8 HF7 and updated DiskSpan_GUI file.
2) Extract all files to separate folders.
3) Replace CIU 3.0.0.1.b8 HF7 in CIU 3.0.0.1.b8 source code.
4) Delete COMPRESSOR folder from CIU 3.0.0.1.b8 source code.
5) Add COMPRESSOR folder from updated DiskSpan_GUI in CIU source code.

DiskSpan_GUI UNPACKER:
- This executable only extract the files created by DiskSpan_GUI without making any other changes to the user's system.
- Requires Setup.dll (Or renamed to Unpacker.dll) and Records.ini external or linked inside Setup.dll/Unpacker.dll.

I have reorganized the attachments in first post a bit.

Code:
- Added the very latest stable CIU v3.0.0.0 u9 as a standalone package including the latest compatible UltraArc/DiskSpan.bat version (for nostalgia)
- Added the very latest Tool set without UltraArc/DiskSpan compressor tools
- Added the new CIU v3.0.0.1b8 (2021.01.09) including the new DiskSpan_GUI tool set (you should definitely take a look on this yummy cake if you haven't yet)
Edit: Reuploaded v3.0.0.1 b8 due towrong version.

You run DiskSpan_GUI.exe inside the COMPRESSOR folder?
This error happens if you move the resources folder.
The resources folder contains the necessary compressors and files.
DiskSpan_GUI.exe must be next to the "Resources" folder.

This date is different from the original DiskSpan_GUI.exe executable.
Your DiskSpan_GUI.exe executable is also different in size from the one I shared.
Original DiskSpan_GUI.exe file size 958 KB (981.391 bytes) and MD5 hash 300733A963B1C4C6CA9952B163094F06
I downloaded the file shared by KaktoR again in the first post and also the post I shared on this page (post #713). Both files have a date of the 10th.

Watch the VIDEO (Same posted file that I downloaded to test).

Is your system 64-bit?
Check if the INI files highlighted in the image are in the Resources folder.

I'm sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, or if this is a stupid question, but I can't seem to find any info on this. Is there any way to use this to compress games but decompress/unpack them without the use of an installer? I see that after you compress the game there's an unpack option, but I have no idea how to load my compressed file into this to unpack this way. I really dislike the installers but the file size is incredible. I don't think UltraArc or DiskSpan has the same compressors/options this does.

Another bug

[AutorunSettings]
Music=0

Music will not play after Autorun (on Installer stage). Equalizer is visible and animated but no music.

Edit: After click on Equalizer to stop music and click again, the music will be played.

---------------------------------------

[LangBox]
Center=1
Position=horizontal

language flags are not centered if you define Left=x (Center=1 should be always used above Left=x).

I will fix the music problem soon. Wait for a hotfix in my previous post that contains the source code.

Check the changelog.
Code:
- Added key name Alignment= to [LangBox], [Equalizer], [EqualizerSI], [EqualizerAR], [Logo], [LogoAR]. 
  >> This key has an alignment functionality in relation to the installer on the X and Y axes.
  >> If you do not use the default value of this key it will be: Alignment=Left,Top
  >> The key Center= is still working, but the key Alignment= has priority over the key Center= but must be set to Left=0, otherwise it will be incremented.
  ** Alignment=<X>,<Y>      //Supported values to "X" is "left", "center" and "right". Spported values to "Y" is "top", "center" and "bottom".
Example: To align the langbox 20 pixels before the end of the autorun page use:
Left = -20
Alignment = right

If you use this way, 10 pixels will be positioned to the right center (20/2 = 10):
Left = 20
Alignment = center

If you use key Alignment= a key Center= will be ignored.
The Center= key was kept for compatibility only.
Center = 1

I think I have another one

If you set [EqualizerSIButton] Visible=0 but have EqualizerSI.png in Setup folder, the equalizer is still visible on smallinstaller.
