MultiArc - UHA

DRP535 · Post by *DRP535 » 2005-10-22, 06:22 UTC

Does anyone have a working ini script for UHARC v0.6a archives? I've tried the standard included one for v0.4 archives but it errors on v0.6a archives.

Code: Select all

[Uharc]
ID=55 48 41 
IDPos=0
Extension=UHA
Archiver="c:\Program files\winuha\uharc.exe"
List="%P l %a"
Start="^-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
End="^-------------------------------------------------------------------------------"
Extract="%P x -y -d1 %a @%LQ"
Test="%P t %a"
Add="%P a -d1 -mz %AQ @%LQ"
Move="%P m -d1 -mz %AQ @%LQ"
Description="UHARC 0.4"
Format0=nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn  zzzzzzz  dd-TTT-yyyy  hh:mm  aaaa

Archives created with Uharc v0.6a are'nt compatible to v0.4 archives.

Code: Select all

[Uharc v0.6a] 
ID=55 48 41
Extension=uha
Archiver=uharc.exe
BatchUnpack=1
SkipDirsInFileList=1 
SkipLIST=1
Start="^--"
End="^--"
Format0="nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"
Format1="                              zzzzzzzzzz  dd TTT yyyy  hh mm ss  aaaa"
List=%P l -b32784 -d2 -y %AQA
Extract=%P e -b32784 -y %AQA @%LQ
ExtractWithPath=%P x -b32784 -y %AQA @%LQ
Add=%P a -b32784 -d0 -ed+ -m3 -mdp -y {%S} %AQ @%LQ
Move=%P m -b32784 -d0 -ed+ -m3 -mdp -y {%S} %AQ @%LQ
AskMode=2
AskHistory0=-mx

Note: Format0= string was shortened to 64 x char 'n' for readability in browser, change to 256 x char 'n'.

Thanks for that but it works no better. These are the error dialogs I get.

Try standard 0.4 Uharc Addon with one small change:

Code: Select all

ID=55 48 41 06

As for me works fine - both pack and unpack

Second image reveals that there is an error in your commandline. Somehow you managed to add an '\' right after the -y switch which does'nt belong there. Probably the error is to be found in the Multiarc.ini.

Will open the archive but can't see any files inside. Extraction doesn't work at all.

There is no \ after the -y switch at all. I cut 'n' pasted your entire script lock stock and barrel and overwrote everything in the multiarc.ini file.

Surely the rogue \ should in fact be a | instead??

Why is the script producing a \ instead of a |?

Did you try the config, I've already recommended here?

Maybe, you was running in the same problems as me (as written here): MultiArc can't be used to add directories to an UHarc archive, because TC or MultiArc always add a trailing "\" to directory paths... it is not possible to avoid this, there is no workaround (AFAIK). These trailing "\" will cause the problems, which yields really odd results

I've just tried it and it still doesn't work. The error messages are slightly different but the end result is the same - it doesn't work.

Oh well, I guess that's it then. Not possible to get UHA working with TC. Shame. UHarc is really a quite useful archiver. It nicely covers the middle ground when RAR/ACE/ZIP etc. aren't quite good enough but without the ridiculously over-the-top long times of WinRK or PAQAR

You're right, i did'nt recognice the ""-issue in this particular situation. I'm using TC's usermenu to call archivers for creating archives, Multiarc is used for viewing/extracting of archives only.
The root of the ""-problem seems to be TC itself as for instance there is no parameter for path without trailing backslash available which is why i can't use the usermenu to call DOSBox with a given path to open as drive C: as DOSBox requires the path paramter without trailing backslash, only the drive can have a trailing backslash.

Maybe Christian Ghisler can add additional paramter-functionality to the next version of TC?
