Something strange ...

Post by Ramses »

Hi there .... I'm using 0.9.0svn WindowsBuild dated May 30 11:51:18

Just figured something strange in Simon 2 & Zak FM Towns.

I have two different talkie versions of Simon 2:
1. German/Windows/CD located in a folder "Simon 2 - deutsch"
2. English/DOS/CD located in a folder "Simon 2 - englisch"
As long as booth folders located in the same subfolder (like "ScummVM Games") the english version uses the german speech but not in the correct order. If I seperate the german version to another folder everything is just fine.

The second strange thing appears in Zak FM Towns. I've made .mp3 for the Audio. I also have an english CD version of Monkey Island 1 with .ogg files for Audio. As long as I have both games in the same subfolder like with my Simon 2 versions, Zak uses the audiotracks from the monkey 1 folder.

Any ideas?

So it looks something like this, then?

Code: Select all

ScummVM Games
[--- Monkey Island 1
|--- Simon 2 - english
|--- Simon 2 - deutch
`--- Zak McKracken
Which folder are you pointing ScummVM to when you're adding the games? The individual folders, e.g. Simon 2 - english, or the common parent folder, ScummVM Games?

Yep .... every game I have is in a different subfolder of "ScummVM Games". For adding a game I just go to that folder, select the gamefolder and press the "Choose" Button.
I should mention that "ScummVM Games" also is the folder where the ScummVM Prog (scummvm.exe) is placed.
It doesnt help if I move "Simon 2 - englisch" to another location, but if I move "Simon 2 - deutsch".

Well, something seems to be pointing to the main folder. The "Extra Path" setting, perhaps?

I've tryed with the "Extra Path" settings ... nothing helped.

I just deleted "scummvm.ini" and added all games again .... now it works (at least for the moment). Like I first said .... strange ;-)
