[GSERIES] Custom Installer Ultimate V2g

Yes, it has all of them

PS: You should only enable them in "External Compressor.ini" before compiling.

Yeah, noticed that, just, I don't know, maybe I'm missing something, but where's the ExtractSettings in the 2.0.3.9 Setup.ini?

Or how do I tell it which data files to extract?

[KaktoR]

2.0.3.9 only using ultraarc (no internal archive handling).

Just create a records.ini

[Record1]
Type=Freearc_Original
Source={src}\Data1.bin
Output={app}
Disk=1

Worked perfectly with 2.0.3.9 and records.ini, so I guess it's CIUv2.0.5g problems.

Unfortunately, I hate using UltraArc and I rather avoid Records.ini file when I possibly can so I'll look into alternative solutions.

At least I now know it's not my compression's fault.

above tasks will be performed at ssPostInstall

Can't get the EditIni feature to work...

The ini I need edited is in a sub-folder in the game's installation (Binaries\Win32\), the ini file name is steam_api.ini

The section is [Settings], the key is Language, the available languages are:
English (EnglishUS)
German
French
Italian
Spanish (SpanishES)
Japanese
Korean
Russian

What I tried:

EditIni1={src}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:english;Lang:EnglishUS
EditIni2={src}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:german;Lang:German
EditIni3={src}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:french;Lang:French
EditIni4={src}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:italian;Lang:Italian
EditIni5={src}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:spanish;Lang:SpanishES
EditIni6={src}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:japanese;Lang:Japanese
EditIni7={src}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:korean;Lang:Korean
EditIni8={src}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:russian;Lang:Russian

Also tried the same with {app} instead of {src}

But nothing happens, the value in the ini file remains Language=english, no matter what.

Here's how the ini looks in the relevant section:

[Settings]

###
### 
### Enter your name here
### 
### Names with diacritic or cyrillic characters are supported but no garantee to work
###

UserName=MYNAME

###
### Select your language here if available
###

Language=english

Any help?

Thanks.

Are you changing the language from autorun?

Of course, I tested on German & Italian languages with same result, the ini isn't being changed, it stays with the default English value, even though I selected the correct language on autorun and performed the entire setup in selected language.

OK, finally figured the EditIni problem out...

It seems there should be an ending semicolon at the end of each line and it should be with {app}, like this:

EditIni1={app}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:english;Lang:EnglishUS;
EditIni2={app}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:german;Lang:German;
EditIni3={app}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:french;Lang:French;
EditIni4={app}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:italian;Lang:Italian;
EditIni5={app}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:spanish;Lang:SpanishES;
EditIni6={app}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:japanese;Lang:Japanese;
EditIni7={app}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:korean;Lang:Korean;
EditIni8={app}\Binaries\Win32\steam_api.ini;Section:Settings;Key:Language;Value:russian;Lang:Russian;

That finally worked, at least for the German language, will now test other languages. (Update: Worked for all languages)

It just doesn't work without that last semicolon, my guess is it needs it to "close" the Lang parameter in the line, but I'm no programmer.

I'm having a weird problem, I'm creating another of many conversions using the latest Compiler.exe (the one that supports Diskspan - 2.0.5g 180210).

So far, it worked perfectly for every conversion, but this time around I get an error when canceling the installation, see attached image.

I haven't changed any files in the include or include/addon folders compared to any of my other conversions, I'm even using same compression method that worked for most of my conversions so far.

And I can't find anything in Setup.ini that seems to be the reason.

I'd love some help with that, thanks.

you sure you're using correct cls-diskspan.dll

if you sure then send me the files, i'll try debug it...

[vollachr]

Yes, I do, the full uncompressed 1MB cls-diskspan.dll.

I remember having a similar issue before and you told me back then that it was that so I checked to make sure, beside, I have been using the original diskspan dll file ever since.

And I copy the same folder with the same files from conversion to conversion, changing only the design files and setup.ini.

That's why I can't understand it, same files with same simple compression method (m4b+diskspan) worked without a problem before.

I'm uploading the files to my cloud account, I'll PM you when ready.

Thanks.

vollachr, had the same type issue, but not with CIUv2.0.5g, 2039 version. I have a base folder that I used & like you only changed design files & setup.ini, and use over & over again. Couple times for no apparent reason I was getting some kind of corruption, all I had to do was rename the bad setup.ini & copy of a new fresh one. But then DONT copy / paste from old to new, type each line in, & it seemed to fix whatever was causing the issue.

I'll try that, got nothing to lose.

UPDATE: Nope, didn't help, just did that, I renamed my setup.ini, copied the default CIUv2 Setup.ini file in it's place and manually typed everything into it, same problem.

Weird thing is, I sent Gupta the files and he couldn't re-create my problem, even with my files which had the original Setup.ini.

I can't figure it out, I'm pretty sure it's diskspan related though, I initially though maybe something else in the Addons folder causes it so I left only the diskspan dll file in there and the problem kept occurring. Maybe I'll try to replace the dll file again, might got corrupt or something.
