Problems with compress_saga

It seems on my system at least, attempting to compress some/most files leads to the program shutting down with an "Illegal Operation" error.

What's bizarre is that it flips when attempting to compress "Inherit the Earth Voices", yet if I rename that file to voices.rsc, it compresses fine then????

I also couldn't get it to compress any IHNM files either.

might be either due to spaces in the filename or to the length of the filename then?

Compressed IHNM files are not supported yet, as stated in the README. IHNM is not complete yet, and work on adding compression support for it will probably be done after the game is fully playable.

As for ITE... does this "Illegal Operation" error happen only with the "Inherit the Earth Voices" file, or others too? There's a special case for the "Inherit the Earth Voices" file, which apparently doesn't work. I'll have a look at what could be causing this

Plus, you haven't specified what your system is, i.e. what OS you're using

Finally, as stated many times, it's always better to file bug reports for problems found using our bug tracker, instead of posting them to the forums.

BTW, are you sure you have included quotes when you used compress_saga on "Inherit the Earth Voices"?
Since the name of this file contains spaces, you're supposed to run compress_saga like this:

compress_saga "Inherit the Earth Voices"
and probably spaces need to be escaped as well:
compress_saga "Inherit\ the\ Earth\ Voices"

This should now be fixed in the current SVN version

Hello,

I have a similar (the same ??) problem. Whenever I try to compress a IHNM audio file (.res) compress_saga crashes giving the following error codes:

AppName: compress_saga.exe AppVer: 0.0.0.0 ModName: msvcrt.dll
ModVer: 7.0.2600.2180 Offset: 000360b4

ScummVM Version used is the current 0.11.0 SVN build and oggenc 2.82 using libvorbis 1.1.2 on Win32

Compressing audio for ITE doesn't work either...

I'll also post a bugreport

Are you using the latest SVN version of the ScummVM tools?

What is the language of the game you're trying to compress?

- The Game Language is English (IHNM / ITE) and German (ITE)

- the used Version of the ScummVM Tools...
The ones that came with the latest SVN Version of ScummVM.
The compress_saga tool seems to have a build date 14.08.2007
