[release] Special Trick to make the client small

Hey all
i know that a lot of persones want to have a small client

a client that is around the 12 - 25 mb

now , i going release how you can do that , and it is easy to extract (doesnt takes hours like kgb compressor and it doesnt take hours to rar it )

well ,
the first thing you need is the cracked version of ultra iso (trial supports only 300 mb and the client is a bit bigger) or any other program that can make a iso

then create a iso file of your client
you will see that the iso is even big / bit smaller / bit larger then the normal client

now the funny and tricky part

open winrar (right click on that file) and press .. new archive ...
then put the compress rate on Highest (heavy compressy , we want it small :D)

after that , just press start and have 1 hour / 30 min of patiance and you see that your file just become 12 - 25 mb instead the 800mb

This methode was tested by files of 3GB big and they became 120 mb

now , how to extract ?? well it is easy

first open the rar file
and you see the iso

extract the iso to your location you like , or open the iso in winrar with winrar

then just extract those files to where you want , after 30 min decompressing (on a Dual Core) then the client is ready to go

i hope you all going love this small secret :D

enjoy it and ... Greets From The Crasher
ps:feel free to say thanks if it helps you ^^

one problem this rises .... most people dont know what a rar and an iso is ...

dont worry , rar/iso can be easy opened with winrar
if you put a small tutorial on it that they just need to click and drag the files then everything comes good for 95% (yes , some persones dont even know how to double click on a exe file o.O)

its those 5% im thinking about :D i can easly say to 95% of my memebers get win rar to open this and they will do fine its the 5% that go urmmmm your server dont work i take one look ohhhhh why is it that we say run the autopatch .... drop thier version run autopatch and done :P

i already knew of this, but thanks for sharing with the rest of the community :D, i know people will find this useful.

those 5% will always exist , i got even old forum posts of members that ask how to download a file
and some posts that ask of how to open autopatch and even a few that dint understand how to install the patch with 12 screenshots of how to do it

so , to make it short , if they cant follow a tutorial ?? then you will always have trouble with them , lol

your right about one thing for sure .... they will never go away ...... i just love them on msn (*sarcasm* for those of you who ask ....)

just wondering if LZMA compression does the job similar. as some installers do have LZMA optional.

im pretty sure i tried that b4 was like 1 mb smaller than normal and a day longer to make .... (would only use a signal core though)

The reason why it comes that small is simple

iso is a binairy file and binairs can be compressed heavy
and it is 1 long file to
so it becomes realy small

instead of the other files :D

:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: x2 post lol

the problem is, with a normal convertor that make's it small, it take's 10 hours to make it that small , (no problem) butt it take's AGE'S to unpack it 0.0

not true. If you know how compression works you would know that it heavily depends on the content. ISO is not altering data in any way, just encapsulates files and folders to ISO9960 file system. Only thing I see(that could be different) is that WinRAR does use different algorithms when compressing ISO file(just because of extension), anyway if this is not the case, compressing files using setting "solid archive" + "best" should make you even smaller file.

very very tnks The Crasher. \o/
