Oboom+download manger.

 

I guess it's predetermined that your bandwidth is limited and the rob papen release is so big that you can't download it.
The universe is probably trying to tell you something.

 

Here's my workaround for you:
Install a previous release, run a virtual machine, download the new plugins (somehow), install them,
then archive just the plugins and the presets, copy them over to your PC, extract & replace, update done.

You also can add the updated plugins + the new keygen to your existing previous setup archive
as a manual update.

Pro Tip:
The x64 Plugins (AAX, VST3 and VST2) are identical (same size & checksums)
so it works to just save these files once and copy them into the desired dirs, saves you an extra 220MB
of space and you also could make a simple script to automate the copy process as the file that goes into
the aax dir has to be renamed into *.engine.

Here's an example of just the plugins + presets in size (compressed using 7Zip)

 

Wait until he finds out about Omnisphere

 

Less whining and more thanking.

 

@M.V.P. Its not so easy to seperate the NKS, AAX and VSTi because R2R built their own all-in-one installer.
But I think I managed it. I've built a package with 221MB (instead of 1.1GB) of Rob Papen Blue2 v1.0.3e with the VSTi version (x64 and x86) and added an instructions file to it.
If you're still interested write me a PM.

If this works (I only tested on my computer) I will make packages also for the other Rob Papen Plugins.

I think the (Quote: download the new plugins (somehow)) is the problem with your workaround...as he mentioned, his ISP only offers limited bandwith. If he would be able to download the 1.1GB he wouldnt have the problem what this thread is about.

 

As I wrote before, the x64 plugin files for each package are identical and they get copied to 3 places.
When you unpack the installer, the unpacker places these files the same way as the installer.

I think you're using Inno Setup like R2R does and like I do. In that case you can place that file once in your sources dir,
let's call it {app}, and let the setup copy it to the desired places. In case of Predator2 it looks like this:

Code:

[Components]
Name: "App"; Description: "Predator II 1.0.4f"; Types: full compact custom; Flags: fixed
Name: "App\VST32"; Description: "VST2 32Bit";
Name: "App\VST64"; Description: "VST2 64Bit";
Name: "App\AAX"; Description: "AAX Plugin";
Name: "Presets"; Description: "Presets";

[Files]
Source: "{app}\VST64\Predator2.dll"; DestDir: "{commonappdata}\Rob Papen\Prisma 64\Rob Papen\Predator2"; Components: "App\VST64";
Source: "{app}\VST64\Predator2.dll"; DestDir: "{reg:HKLM64\Software\VST,VSTPluginsPath}\Rob Papen"; Components: "App\VST64";
Source: "{app}\VST64\Predator2.dll"; DestDir: "{cf64}\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins\Rob Papen\Predator2.aaxplugin\Contents\x64\Predator2.engine";Components: "App\AAX";

So in my case the 64Bit Predator2.dll goes into:

C:\ProgramData\Rob Papen\Prisma 64\Rob Papen\Predator2,
E:\VST\64Bit\Rob Papen
and in
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Avid\Audio\Plug-Ins\Rob Papen\Predator2.aaxplugin\Contents\x64
as "Predator2.engine"

That way you save over 80MB in your installer

You also can embed R2R's useful little Inno Setup Plugin to automatically define the plugin paths (if you know how).
It supports some nice procedures like GetDirVST2, GetDirVST3, GetDirRTAS, GetDirAAX and HasAVX (to check if your
CPU is compatible like it has to be for the use of the new Massive X plugin)

Will probably write one installer for all Rob Papen Plugins for myself.

Ye, to be honest, that was a joke. But he still could go to a place with free wifi if possible
and use the workaround to save space on his disk when storing the update.

No, I'm not so clever and not a programmer...I made it really simple.
- I installed the R2R version of Blue2
- I copied the Mainfolder in C:\Users\Your_User_Name\Documents\Rob Papen\Blue2 (this contains all the presets and data, manual etc)
- I copied the blue2.dll (x64) and the (x86) from my VST folder.
- I checked my registry where R2R's installer put the registry entries...and exported the registry entry.
- I packed everything incl. R2R KeyGen to an archive. Thats it.

Spoiler: reg-file

Now the only thing you have to do is:
Step1: Extract "Rob Papen_main.rar" to your Documents directory: C:\Users\Your_User_Name\Documents

Step2: Copy "Blue2.dll" (64-bit) or "Blue2x86.dll" (for 32-bit version) to C:\Program Files\Steinberg\vstplugins\Rob Papen\ (or whereever your DAW is scanning for VSTs)

Step3: Edit "blue2.reg". To edit it right click at the file and choose "edit".

Step4: Start "RPX6_KeyGen.exe" and copy the serial to clipboard.

Step5: Back in the reg-file do the following:
#insert your username (name of your Windows account) whereever you find "insert_your_username_here" and at the end at value "Serial" insert serial number from R2R-KeyGen.!

When you finished editing the reg file save and close it. Now double click on it so it can be imported to your registry.

Now continue like in the original R2R release.
- Start your DAW, open Rob Papen Blue2, Copy the Computer ID (5-digits) from the Blue2 register screen and paste it into R2R-Keygen. Now press "generate" and copy and paste the Activation-Code into blue field with XXXXX at the Blue2 register screen.
- Finally click "register"

Have fun.

So much effort on stuff that R2R won't let us repack and post anyways...

Yes we are not allowed to post it at sisters site...but we can still communicate with users and help them by providing our versions privately.

 

I am planning to physically rob a bank, but, with my herniated disk back pain I'm definitely (Dah, helo!?) not interested into all those bank robbery activities, and afterwards weight-lifting all those (ME MAD!) fucking papers. Can some back pain empathetic soul with knowledge of digital attacks rob it for me, and transfer me MY FUCKING MONEY? S/he can keep a symbolic (NOT MORE THAN 0.24% !!!) percentage. If really necessary.

 

You are! You basically did the same like me, I just additionally told Inno Setup what to do
so it can do it for me.

That's how programming works.
1. a problem occurs,
2. you analyze it
3. you write down the steps
4. you tell a compiler what to do (coding)
Done!

You don't even have to have that much of programming knowledge to tell it Inno Setup.
The knowledge starts, when you want to customize the installer itself to add features,
change the gui, automate things, etc. If you're fine with a basic installer gui, you can
easily learn it in a few hours.

There's even a nice free tool called Inno Script Studio, which helps you in a wizard in several steps
to create and customize your installer. You can add files, paths, regkeys, etc and it writes down
the code for you.

 

they allow repack with only free links...but az did that rule to avoid to many shit packs between real rls and this is good so...

 

That's why I don't have Omnisphere installed.. I so badly want it i cry

 

Just because I'm serious, which ISP do you have and where do you come from. And is it the bandwidth that is restricted or the monthly datatransfer in gigabyte? I have 6MB/sec and unlimited GByte and I'm able to download 1000 times more than I really use at the end.

 

Guess Ia'm kinda scared of messing up with Plugins.. I never did anything you mentioned here.. Guess I will have to stay with older release until a new small version comes up
