The contents of the user guide might change, but I have taken

utter most care to make this mostly relevant to the current

version of the bb wizard. This is made solemnly on the basis of

the version 0.8.9.9 | And the future versions of the program

might contains additional options and features which this guide

may lack in content. Users should keep this in mind that, this

is just a basic guide and the writer won’t be able to give

solutions for the errors or problems which the user may run into

during the use of the product and in those cases refer to the

form thread and post your problems there. |

Part 2

Blackbox v2

Part 1 – Compression

Let’s begin with the compression stage

For compressing the game files, you will have to create additional

folders inside a game folder Like 1,2,3 (or whatever you call them)

Then Move in the Game files accordingly, you can even move in folders

also into these folders. We have to do like this so that upon

extraction the folder and file structure of the game won’t be lost.

Move the files into the folders and you are ready to get to the main

part of the stage/

After this is done, you can use the compressor here.

This is the best tool there to do the work exactly and clean,

Select the required compression method and wait for the process to

finish making archives, File extension of the archives are not a

problem.

After completing this part, we can move to the main, Black box

wizard part. Which is the main core of this guide.

Part 2 – Black box v2

For easy usage I will be referring this as the black box wizard.

To start the process, download and install the Blackbox wizard setup

from the thread. http://fileforums.com/showthread.php?t=95595

1. After installation, open up the program.

Stage 1 -=- Game

Stage 2 -=- Images

Stage 3 -=- Internal

Stage 4 -=- Component

Stage 5 -=- Arc & Redist

Application Name = Name of the Game

Publisher Name = Name of publisher

Application Version = Version of app.

Required space = Game size in MB (10240 = 10GB)

Ripper Name = You know this part. ;)

Icon 1 File = The Game’s main exe file goes here. If it’s

under a folder like bin or win32 you might have to add in it like

“bin\exefilename.exe or win32\exefilename.exe” and like that,

else just add in the game exe name like exefilename.exe that’s

it.

Enable or Disable icon 2 and 3 (In case you have a DX9, DX10 game

exe and you want to provide both of them) same process as above.

Stage 2 -=- Images

Background, Title, Logo Images and Icon: You know how to read all

these don’t ya? Just put in the images and icons for your

installer. And nothing much to tell about this part.

Part 3 -=- Internal

This part is not recommended to new comers, the internal

compression part will allow the setup to create and maintain it’s

on archives and priorities and not much info or test on this

session has been carried out so I would recommend you to leave it

just like the way it is, or if you know what you are doing, and

got some prior experience with Inno’s internal compression

methods, this is your turf to check out.

Part 4 -=- Components

Still under active development, and no further info on this session

available yet.

Part 5 -=- Arc & Redist

This is the main part of the whole wizard, as this is where you

add In the external files and the redistributables which your

repack might need to run.

Variables = {src} Source {app} Game Installation path

Compression = Add in those archives you created with the tool on

the first stage.

Click on Add, and then select that part and set these options

Method = Freearc, 7zip, Winrar (The archive type)

Archive name = name of the archive (Setup-1.bin..)

Output Dir = Just press that button next to it, normally it’s

{app}\

Component = the priority

Disk = The Disk number

Password = Archive password if it has any

Precomp ver = Precomp Version used in the compression (0.38 –

0.42)

Redist

Add in the redistributables you want the game to have.

Press add and enter.

Redist Name = Name of the Redistributable file

Redist Dir = The path (redist\directx.exe)

Redist Parameter = set parameter for silent of minimized

installation of the redist.

Variables =

{src} – The source directory where the Setup.exe file is.

{app} – The path were the application gets installed.

And in the end press compile and save the setup.exe file

generated by that, and you are good to go.

[Make sure to move the setup.exe file to the right directory of

where your repacked files are in.]

Now Enjoy making repacks, and this guide got a lot of errors, I’m

not pro in these, so have a nice day people.

All thanks to the members of File Forums and the Makers of these

amazing software’s mentioned above.
