ASIS: Advanced Simple Installer Script

[jenning]

Progress bar is not working for me when setup is using lolz, my repack command:

arc a -ep1 -ed -r -w.\ Data\Setup-1.bin -mxprecomp+srep_x64:m3f+lolz:d256m:mtb256:mc1023:mtt1:mt8

After a while when lolz finishes i get this error: https://i.imgur.com/RGFqaBk.jpg

srep_x64 is unknown by ASIS. Add it to Arc.ini or CLS.ini with its associated files.

Also check Compressors.ini

Now I get this error:



I have attached my compression tools, how to get them to work with ASIS or any other setup ?

Thank you for your time.

Attaching my script that installs but doesn't show the progress.

[jenning]

I have added my setup that currently is installing but doesn't show the progress.

@edit: got back to my old tools for now, if someone figures out setup with working progress bar for xtool+srep+lolz please post it here or message me, attach compression tools as well.

Thank you in advance, been repacking games for years now but can't figure it out. Before I had setup+compression tools from Kurutucu and it was compatible with each other, just ready to use.

My XTool+SREP+LOLZ setup is working fine for me. Make sure you have your titles of external compressors in the Arc.ini of your compressor set correctly. This might not be the fix, but it works for me.

I'll explain:

In Arc.ini, you could have it set as:

[External compressor:XTool]
packcmd =

This could cause the progress bar to stop working, since the installer doesn't know what the string "XTool" means. Instead, use the titles listed in the Arc.ini that came with the installer e.g.:

[External compressor:xZlib]
packcmd =

This should fix your issue. The only other issue I can think of from using other compressor titles is that the install time appears as "Eternity". However, this is not an issue as the progress bar still works.

Also, if you have a VSF style applied, try running without the style in case that could be casuing issues.

Try using this example compressor I wrote for you and see if it changes anything.

lolz and srep still not showing progress, I am attaching my setup.

Thank you for response my friend!

I've compiled the setup you sent and tested it with some of my compressed data, and your progress bar works just fine:

https://filesupload.org/99a0749db23cdeb0 <---- here's a little video showing it.

Obviously it's a bit short because I only tested with 80mb of compressed data (13mb compressed), packed using XZLIB+SREP+LOLZ

I don't know if the installer is saving the install location and install preferences because after on the second time installing for further test (the one shown in the video)the choices for install location and icon preferences didn't show up. The first time install didn't show the welcome screen either.

To be honest, I'm not sure what's going on.

[jenning]

The srep and lolz still not working, it just goes super fast with that small test file and goes quickly to xtool/xzlib which shows progress.
If you try that with big files the setup will be stuck for a long while before it goes to the last step with xtool.

@KaktoR

I fixed the BPK issue I was having:

If you take CLS-BPK_D.DLL and FAZIP32 from Ultra Arc and put them into the BPK folder of ASIS in the Decompressors folder then add the following string to Arc.ini in the FreeARC folder:

[External compressor:bpk]
header = 0
unpackcmd = "FAZip32" -i0 decompress:bpk_d <stdin> <stdout>

Then compress using CLS-BPK_C.DLL and FAZIP32:

[External compressor:bpk]
header = 0
packcmd = "FAZip32" -i0 compress:bpk_c <stdin> <stdout>

Everything works perfectly.

Hello, I'm trying to create an installer with some sample files.
In particular what I have done is compression with UltraARC and this method set as MASK:

xZLib+srep:m1f:l512+4x4:b128mb:lzma:a1:mfbt4:64m:fb273:mc1000000:lc8

Then if I compress in a single file everything is ok, but if I split in multiple files when using UltraARC the installer will finish the process without error and unpacking nothing but the uninstallation files.

N.B.: for decompression I uncommented XTOOL in the compression.ini file

What would be the more likely problem?

[KaktoR]

Did you have Records.ini file? And set it right? UltraArc should create one automatically.

Yes, this one, divided in 10MB each

Edit: I also encounter the same problem using CIU v3. Am I the only one having this problem?

Edit 2: Tried different method for compression with UltraARC and having same problem as well

@KaktoR have you been able the reproduce the problem? I would like to test some old version of ASIS to see if the problem still occour

Since the splitting feature of UltraARC doesn't seem to work on both ASIS and CIU I was trying to use DiskSpan (the .bat script provided with UltraARC) which seems to be working.

But I have this problem: when the installer extracts the first slice then a message box asks for the second disk containing the next slice:

Please Insert Disk With Data1.bin.002

If I select the requested file everything goes fine, so how can I make it select the file automatically?

[KaktoR]

Yeah UltraArc merge is broken on both scripts.

I think it is already the case that the installer automatically take the next slice, but only if it's in same place as first archive/setup.exe.
