Broken Sword 2: Confused about file placement

Post by md5 »

Hello

I'm confused about how to place the files of Broken Sword 2

At first, I copied the cluster directories from both CDs, as well as the necessary files from the sword2 directory from CD1 (cd.bin, cd.inf, startup.inf), but ScummVM didn't find the game. I then placed all files in one directory and ScummVM worked. This is strange, because by looking at the source, I can see that ScummVM is looking for directories clusters, sword2 and video (which is where the MPEG files from scummvm.org are).

Am I doing something wrong here? I notice that ScummVM is looking for file players.clu, so should I point it to the clusters directory or just copy all files (apart from the videos) to a single directory to play the game?

For Broken Sword 1 I have the Subfolders "MUSIC", "SPEECH" and "VIDEO"

For Broken Sword 2 I only have "VIDEO"

VIDEO contains the reencoded Videos provided by ScummVM.

MUSIC contains only wav files, 252 in total.

SPEECH contains SPEECH1.CLU and SPEECH2.CLU.

All other files are in the main game directory.

That cleared things up, thanks :)

By the way, I've compressed the music of BS1 with the tool provided, however 1 music file was left out (6M13.wav). I'm not sure if this is intentional

That piece of music is apparently not used by the game. (It's not listed in the _tuneList[] array in sword1/staticres.cpp so it can't be used.)
