Ex kinda hit on what I was trying to do, copy all the files from the discs and condense them so I can upload it quicker, but I get errors on the .cab files. Except he forgot to mention I can't even view what's in them.
What I intend to do with the list is find all the files in my giants directory and make new .cab files so I can work with them. I would rather use the originals, but I keep having problems .

I don't think you can actually fit giants on one cd just by not putting unused files on the cd.
I actually made an installer to install giants from the internet, and I have managed to fit all giants files (multiplayer + singleplayer) into under 100 MB by compressing textures as jpg and sound files as ogg files. It's kinda working but some textures get invalidated, which I still have to fix.

I already know I can't fit all the files into one cd, I just want to see what are all the files involved. I like that idea with compressing the textures and sounds, but wouldn't it decrease the overall quality of the skins?
I've done a quick check in my giant's folder to see how big the game would be and I got it down to about .9 - 1GB (single + multi player/patch). Still an estimate though.

That's the whole reason why I want a list so I don't have to extract the .cab files or even deal with them.Glude wrote:You juste have to add the data3.cab into that virtual CD and burn it, no need to extract the .cab files.

Is it possible to have all the Giants files from the cd and put it on a 2 GB Flash Drive without going through an installation proccess? Kinda like what Glude did: You just click the .reg files and ran Giants like normal, no installation. If thats possible, then I just need a 2 GB Flash Drive and I'm all set

Not so fast! You are wrong on one thing. The reg.reg you have puts the giants registry in a weird name and it puts it in the 1036 language (French) which it should be 1035 (English).
I already knew this some time ago, just wanted to know if I am missing anything when full filling this ''operation''. Basically, making sure I was right.
