Hi,
i got a copy of The Day Of The Tentacle but when i try to start the game it crashes after a few seconds with the following error:
ERROR: startTalkSound: SFX file is not open
my dott dir looks like this
MONSTER.MP3
TENTACLE.000
TENTACLE.001
maybe the mp3 file is a problem.
thx a million

Re: Day of the tentacle crashes
For a start you could try with the original MONSTER.SOU file to see if it still crashes. If it doesn't crash then the MONSTER.MP3 file is probably corrupt and you'll need to recompress it.damogran wrote:Hi,

I know it probably makes no difference but which OS are you using? Do other games work or do you just have DOTT?

Re: Day of the tentacle crashes
To the best of my knowledge, ScummVM won't ever attempt to open any file called MONSTER.MP3 anyway. You shouldn't rename the file after you compress it.Jimbob wrote:For a start you could try with the original MONSTER.SOU file to see if it still crashes.

probably another of those incidents where somebody dragged the monster.sou on lame.exe, thus compressing the whole datafile like it was one huge wav
