Little Big Adventure and audio CD

Post by cnter »

Hi guys, first of all, I wanted to use the game in my language, Italian, but the English dialogues were not heard (in Italian it was never dubbed), opening the log file I found written:

Code: Select all

WARNING: HQR: Could not open IT_gam.vox!
As if you wanted to load a file that in fact was never created by the game developer, I think it's an error of the engine that associates the abbreviation of the language in use, IT precisely, to the name of the file, creating a name of non-existent file.
I rsolved renaming all "EN_*" files to "IT_*", now the English dialogues are present with Italian subtitles.

Second point, the audio tracks are not heard, I had read in a post from a couple of years ago that only those in MP3 and OGG format were supported, but I think this is an old information, however the MIDI audio is played regardless and in the log I find this:

Code: Select all

Am I doing something wrong? The "Audio CD" option is enabled and I tried to use FLAC. OGG and MP3 tracks, both with the American CD and with the European one.

I verified with my LBA version (GOG) and it seems there are several audio bugs with LBA (TWINE) ScummVM engine.
I'm currently trying to list them before to report them to the ScummVM team.
