CREATOR MODE ENABLED

This Setup.ini file was not found near the executable of this installer

Put "Setup.ini" next to the executable or disable creator mode and recompile the script

It's not an error, and to disable creator mode, add ; before #define CREATOR, and it'll work Like this

Change this:
#define CREATOR
To this:
;#define CREATOR

P.S: Some changes will be in the beta 9 changelog, some will not.

HOTFIX CHANGES:
- Fixed bug of wrong caption on Next/Back buttons (Thanks Prettyboy099 for informing) mainly when running uninstall.exe (it displayed PAUSE where it should show UNINSTALL). 
- Changed FlagSpace= key in [LangBox] section to support two values (FlagSpace=<X>,<Y>) separated by comma in "box" mode.
- Disabled inclusion of DXFilters filters in CREATOR mode to speed up interim compilation.
- Added ISPP option (temporary) to disable IsMediaLib functions inclusion before compile Setup.exe.
  >> If you don't use videos in your conversion and want to avoid memory leak errors that occur in some random systems, enable line 8 of the script by removing the ";" to disable IsMediLib.dll.
  >> The song ".mp3" will still be played, but by the BASS.dll library.
- Removed the use of the "Default.ini" file that compared in the compilation and included the keys only if the value is different from the default in IniMemory.
>> The purpose of this defult.ini was to speed up the reading of the ini keys a little, but the access time difference was small and whenever I changed a key it was necessary to include it in default.ini, this became laborious.

i saw that the HF2 haver bugs for smalbutton left Picture is HF1 Script and right Picture is HF2 Script

Hello Cesar82

DiskSpan_GUI 1.0.0.5 uses XTool 0.3.9 and the plugin "Madness Engine" is not compatible with this version of XTool (as far as I know) and XTool from version 0.3.12 had changes in the command line and it can't be just replaced in DiskSpan_GUI (Needs several code changes).
I also haven't updated DiskSpan_GUI to XTool_0.3.11_hotfix (latest version with same old command line) because many of the plugins that work on version 0.3.9 don't work on version 0.3.11 and I believe that the plugin updates that have been released lately don't work with 0.3.11.

Wait for DiskSpan_GUI 2.0.0.0 which will be released along with the final version 3.0.0.1 of the CIU (Or maybe even earlier, along with the upcoming 3.0.0.1.beta.9 of the CIU).

Edit:
You can create a .bat file with the current "XTool" and the "Madness Engine" plugin and the necessary compressors and compress the game.
To create the Setup.dll file create a folder and place all the decompressors file and the Arc.ini/CLS.ini file with the paths corresponding to the folder structure used for the decompressors and then drag and drop the folder over the "_Compress Optional file" DLL (Drop Folder or Setup.dll).bat" from the COMPRESSORS folder to create the Setup.dll file.

Hello Cesar82

Sorry, but I couldn't (.can I get help preparing the bat file if possible ?

Nice work Cesar.

Are you sure the word 'retaliate' is the correct word you wanted to use?
Maybe 'autocorrect' is interfering?

'Retaliate' meaning:

to hurt someone or do something harmful to someone because they have done or said something harmful to you

'Retaliate' meaning:

Maybe he wanted to say "Reiterate this

Ahh yes 'report' makes more sense.

I actually used Google to see what 'retaliate' means in Portuguese thinking it may have just been a word that didnt translate well to English.

Cesar82 I can't figure out how [MusicIcon] it works properly together with MusicIcon.png. Could you give a simple example of what MusicIcon.png should look like. My guess is that it should have two states, but I've already tried vertically (39x78) and horizontally (78x39). And it looks bad all the time

[MusicIcon]
Width=39
Height=39

[MusicIcon]
Width=39
Height=39

MusicIcon has 8 parts....
So dimension of MusicIcon.png will be-

Weight=X (X=Weight of MusicIcon in Setup.ini, 39 in your case)
Height=Y*8 (Y=Height of MusicIcon in Setup.ini, 312 in your case)

8 parts of MusicIcon.png from top to bottom-

1-Normal (In music disabled state)
2-Selected (In music disabled state)
3-Clicked (In music disabled state)
4-Disabled (In music disabled state)
5-Normal (In music unabled state)
6-Selected (In music unabled state)
7-Clicked (In music unabled state)
8-Disabled (In music unabled state)

I think it is better to see some examples that I created in past...

[MusicIcon]
Width=39
Height=39

Icon buttons must have measurements: HEIGHT = WIDTH * 8

Image file:
MusicIcon.png = 26x208 pixels (8 * 26 = 208)

Setup.ini example
[MusicIcon]
Width=26
Height=26

Image Layout (Top to Bottom):
1) BTN NORMAL   - IF MUSIC CHECKED
2) BTN SELECTED - IF MUSIC CHECKED
3) BTN CLICKED  - IF MUSIC CHECKED
4) BTN DISABLED - IF MUSIC CHECKED
5) BTN NORMAL   - IF MUSIC UNCHECKED
6) BTN SELECTED - IF MUSIC UNCHECKED
7) BTN CLICKED  - IF MUSIC UNCHECKED
8) BTN DISABLED - IF MUSIC UNCHECKED

I recommend that you always create the button in the exact size it will appear in the project.
If your button image is larger, create a new project with the button's final dimensions and add the larger button as a smart object and save your final png in the dimensions specified in Setup.ini.

EDIT:
- Added CIU hotfix in previous post.
