Yeah, guess what, i have shared the non-edited script back to you...



I will edit again. Give me some minutes.

Edit: Here is the right one, finally. Recompile setup.exe from this archive, replace your old setup.exe and try again.

Btw, some small but important information:

If you got an error with "Failed to create Data#.bin" in UltraArc with compression pzlib+srep+lzma, make sure to exclude all small files (including all .dll, .exe, etc files), because some error in UltraArc.exe if you mix big files and small files together.

After compression is done, manually pack all remaining files into an freearc archive and add it to records.ini.

I faced that error in eg Sims 4 and Just Cause 3 until now.

And, testing new compressions in the next days i got from "shazzla" (big thanks to you).

Here is new zlib compression.

Have tried it over 6 games yet and no crc errors.

Big thanks to "shazzla" for sharing this to me!

I have included backup files aswell.

ReflateAPI is not perfect, it does have bugs.

It is better to use pZLib

Hello folks got little question is there option ot turn off/delete EULA from both script and installer? Personally don't need that :-P

[KaktoR]

Simply don't put any eula.rtf file in Setup\Eula folder.

For the friend who posts the CIU codes...
Fixes to CIU v2.0.3.8.b...

The line below is not required. The installer is compressing 2 times the image Installer1.png
Source: Setup\Setup\Installer1.png; DestDir: {tmp}; Flags: dontcopy

Replace all parts of the lines containing (Error UltraArc Languages to all CIU v2)

Replace From:
if ((Data[i - 1].Arc[6] = '') or (LanguageTranslator(Data[i - 1].Arc[6]) = ActiveLanguage))

Replace To:
if (Data[i - 1].Arc[6] = '') or (Data[i - 1].Arc[6] = ActLangShort)

Need fixe all others parts replacing "ActiveLanguage" to "ActLangShort" in all CIU v2 (Without quotes).


Sugestion: Translate as FreeArc Custom Messages ins script and adding custom messages to language files.

Thanks!

Compiler only contains 1 Installer1.png.
Parsing -> Compressing

Are you sure about that? Can't find a second file in Setup.exe after compiling.

For what? Is it neccessary? I don't understand properly i guess.

[MartinezPL]

Someone can point what I am doing wrong?
In Setup.ini

Name=The Surge
Exe=TheSurge.exe
ExePath=The Surge\bin\TheSurge.exe

I try also different combinations and results... ;<

[KaktoR]

ExePath=The Surge\bin\TheSurge.exe

This one is correct

ExePath=bin

ExePath is {app} (game directory, so ExePath = {app}), from there you just need folder where exe is, without the exe file itself and without \ at the end.

If your exe file is in root game directory (without any subdirs), than leave ExePath blank. If exe file is eg in "C:\AnyGame\bin\win32\Game.exe", then ExePath=bin\win32
