I was able to generate records.inf in source directory for nz64 (nanozip) by changing tmp to source and percentage to 0, 0 bu when i include records.inf in resource directory and change back scr to tmp in script, nanozip is still not showing progress.

Compile the script without records (disable "#include records"). Move the generated records.ini to your include directory, enable the "#include "records" and recompile the source. Game without records will show progress above 100%. With recors it will be fixed.

I hope you can understand what i wrote. Sorry for the rusty english

[ZakirAhmad]

plese post a script that creates a records.inf and second copy of it that uses that records.inf for nanozip.

Why not generate a cls?

I tried but i failed to generate cls for nanozip.

is it possible to generate cls for profragers unreal engine decompressor, multithreaded one. the problem with uelr is that it is single threaded and when we recompress lzo type 9 streams with it the speed is 0.2mb/s.

Will try to make one for UELR.

Is it always safe, if we remove unnecessary languages from game. would that game be stable?
I mean suppose i have a game say x. suppose it contains 10 audio languages. if i remove the languages which i dont understand, would it make game unstable.
how can we know in advance that removing a perticular file from game would not make it unstable?

Game will be stable as long as you remove right files, language files are usually labeled as such, for example they have eng,fre,ita in their filename, or EN,FR,IT...

Index updated, and starting letters are separated now for easier navigation.

Dont take it for granted that it WILL work everytime, there has been a game or two that has to also have english files + whatever other language you want game in, for it to work. Always backup the files you remove & test the game to make sure it works before deleting them permantely.

[JustFun]

Yeah like pakrat2k2 said, some games do need ENGLISH game files in order to work properly, but if you want to keep ENG only it will work 99% of the times if you delete other languages.

[ZakirAhmad]

Thanks @Justfun an @Pakrat.
As pakrat explained, "i must put files that i want to delete in backup folder and check if game work or not". did this mean if a game doesnt support deleting of language files, it will not start when i delete the files or it will not work from some specific point (eg. say at level 3).

[KaktoR]

Yes, or you have no speach sound ingame, or whatever.

Just try it out.
