gameboy Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Today, I packed the game and found that there was an error in NSIS that could not be packed I am using the latest version of NSIS 3.0.5. SetOutPath: "$INSTDIR\binaries\data\mods\public" File: failed creating mmap of "E:\trunk\binaries\data\mods\public\public.zip" Error in script "E:\trunk\source\tools\dist\0ad.nsi" on line 127 -- aborting creation process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 Might be because of the new art and the fact that the public mod is now too big Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 We need to make the public mod smaller I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I guess the first thing to try is to remove files from the public mod and see if it works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted March 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 @Stan` I've calculated the capacity of the entire public mod, which is 4GB. I tried to pack it and it still has 2.3GB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I have made the split package of public mod with WINRAR, and I have made the installation package. When I installed the game, I do not know whether the normal game? Can the other branch of PUBLIC mod be called by the game? For example: public.zip, public.zip002, public.zip003 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki1950 Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 Would not the file suffix be .rar not.zip as you used WINRAR not winzip for compression even at that it would be public001.zip,public002.zip as the suffix takes no part as a file identifier. Enjoy the Choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 It supports zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 The problem is NSIS cannot pack files bigger than 2GB. EDIT: Also you need to package the public mod using the archive builder converting all PNGs to DDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 @Stan` NSIS is an open source software. I can provide NSIS made by my friends here. It still needs to be modified. https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsisbi/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 (edited) @Stan` @Angen https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsisbi/files/nsisbi3.05.1/ NSISBI aims to remove the current 2GB limit found in NSIS. But Single files are still limited to 2GB after compression. BTW: I hope you（0 A.D. Team） can modify the code provided by him to change the limit that NSIS cannot use a single file over 2GB, thank you!

Stan` Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 That's a filesystem issue I think, not a NSIS issue. I don't even know how to use NSIS yet, so it'll have to wait a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 If it's a file system problem, it can be solved with a 64 bit operating system, but it's really a problem of NSIS. I provided my friend's NSIS, which modified the source code of NSIS, but it can't break the limit that a single file can't exceed 2GB. Maybe our team can change this on this basis. Then recompile NSIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 File System = (EXT4, NTFS, FAT, HFS, APFS, ZFS, etc...) != 32BIT/64BIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted March 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 I'm using NTFS. It's not related to it. You can take the time to see the connection I provide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2020 @Itms Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itms Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Sorry I'm seeing this only now. Yes, we do use nsisbi to package the game in order to work around the size of the public mod. What is your question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboy Posted March 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 @Itms My problem is that when I compressed the Public folder, the compressed size was more than 2G, and an error occurred when I made the installation package with nsisbi. '$INSTDIR\binaries\data\mods\public" File: failed creating mmap of "E:\trunk\binaries\data\mods\public\public.zip" Error in script "E:\trunk\source\tools\dist\0ad.nsi" on line 127 -- aborting creation process Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itms Posted March 25, 2020 Report Share Posted March 25, 2020 Well, we never got this issue with nsisbi. The last time we used it it was this version: https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsisbi/files/nsisbi3.03.1/ Maybe trying this version will work for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
