Game developers sell only their original product, only occasionally supplementing it with addons and DLCs. However, if a project has a fan base, re-pack versions inevitably appear, which users supplement with amateur patches and extensions.
Necessary
- -Inno Setup 5.2.2;
- -ISTool.
Instructions
Step 1
Install the game to your hard drive and add whatever you want there. It can be all sorts of cracks, crackers, DLCs, add-ons, author's voice acting and any additions of this kind. In addition, you can transcode or cut out videos and some of the sounds to reduce the final volume of the product.
Step 2
Open the "Start" -> "Run" menu, type regedit and press Enter - this command will open the Windows registry. From the proposed folders select "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" -> "SOFTWARE" and find the folder with the installed game. Click on it with the right mouse button, click "Export" and save the.reg permission file in any place convenient for you.
Step 3
Install the INNO Setup program. Run it, and in the first window that appears, fill in the "Application Name", "Developer" and "Home Page" fields. As a rule, the last two lines contain the author of the repack and the site for which the product is being created. Click Next.
Step 4
The second screen defines the installation directories. Enter the required parameters and mark the clarifications.
Step 5
Next, you will need to specify the executable file. This can be the Launcher or the main.exe that launches the game directly.
Step 6
Define additional options such as "directory name in the start menu" and "the ability to put a shortcut on the desktop."
Step 7
On the last screen, select the folder where the repack will be saved. Specify its name and select an icon (the best solution would be to use the game icon, you can find it in the root directory thereof) and, if required, set a password (as a rule, the name of the resource for which this edition was created is used as the password).
Step 8
Answer “No” to the follow-up question: “Do you want to use a standard script”. Add "DiskSpanning = true", "DiskSliceSize = 1457664000" in the first and second lines in the code that appears, click "Finish".
Step 9
Install and run the ISTOOl program. Open the saved script with it; in "Options" -> "Compiler" select the maximum compression level, in the "Registry" item add the file saved in the second step of the instruction. Finally, go to the "Script" menu and put "{app}; Flags: uninsdeletekey”instead of what is written to the right of ValueData. After clicking the "Finish" button, your repack will be saved in its final form.
