Masked Compression (Ultimate compression in one go)

[panker1992]

I am working at the moment making masks v3 + 3 ways compression with Inno support.

Method 1
With that said, Inno setup has isdone.dll which has these parameters,
""
if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 0, ExpandConstant('{src}\Setup-1.arc'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', false, '', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False) then break; ""

the second 0 is the progress bar, if you leave it to 0 the setup will create a records.inf which you can then use to smoothen out your progress bar.

Method 2

if you have 3 Freearc files however and you want to manually put a progress bar here is how

if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 30, ExpandConstant('{src}\data1.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', false, 'yourpassword', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False) then break;
if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 30, ExpandConstant('{src}\data2.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', false, 'yourpassword', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False) then break;
if not ISArcExtract ( 0, 40, ExpandConstant('{src}\data3.bin'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), '', false, 'yourpassword', ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False) then break;

the sum of all second column must be 100!!!!

This is no longer a valid space to talk about Masks enjoy v3 and hope you suggest more to go

Here's what I have done to make a code where people to get confused.

function FreearcExtract(PercentToFinish: double; Source, Output, Password: string): Boolean;
begin
  Result:= ISArcExtract(0, PercentToFinish, ExpandConstant(Source), ExpandConstant(Output), '', false, 
             Password, ExpandConstant('{tmp}\arc.ini'), ExpandConstant('{app}'), False);
end;

How to use??

if not FreearcExtract(30, '{src}\Data1.bin', '{app}', 'yourPassword') then break;

Hi !

I know its funny ,but this is the first time i try to use masked compression.
And i run into the following problem :

In ARC.GROUPS i defined the followings :
$bink
*.bik
*.bk2

$bin
*.exe
*.dll

$audio
*.wav

$misc
*.asset
*.dat

My chain : -mzstd/$bink=bpk/$bin=razor:8m/$misc=srep+lolz:d256m:mt2/$audio=tak

AFAIK it means zstd used to compress those files are not defined in ARC.GROUPS.
But in my case zsdt is NOT USED on remaining files,instead compressed using TAK! (those files are renamed BINK movies)
what is the problem ? I dont understand....
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

ATM im away from my rig....

[shazzla]

No idea?!

[KaktoR]

Try with $Default on beginning of arc.groups

Btw, what game? Maybe I can test too.

[shazzla]

Im far away from my rig. For days.
Btw its mixed dataset.
Thanks for your tip,i will try ASAP.
If it doesnt work ,im pretty sure i will be back!

@KaktoR : Adding $default to the first line of groups-file looks like solved the problem !
Thank you very much !
