DOTT: (German) Crash in 2nd intro. sequence (Regression)

|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | high | Component: | Engine: SCUMM |
| Version: | Keywords: | ||
| Cc: | Game: | Day of the Tentacle |
Description
Windows 2000 Sp 4 ScummVM 0.6.1 as well as ScummVM Daily Build Day of the Tentacle - German - disk version
The game exits in the second part of the intro. This is the part, where all three travel back in time using the loos and all the funny things (cats, clocks, tentacles, E=mc2 ...) flying around them.
The game exits with following message:
Assertion failed: version == 0x010A || version == 0x0114, file sound/voc.cpp, line 142
The Dott - German - Talkie works fine, so its disk only. Savegame attached.

Just checked it with the english DOTT - disk version. Works fine. Maybe my german version got somehow corrupted. Can someone else who owns the german disk version check it?

Hmm, I did a clean install from disk using the original install files. So the files are not corrupted. Seems to me that the german "monster.sou" file is somehow different from the english one, which works fine. Its a specific error with the german disk version of DOTT, all other versions (english, german cd) according to my tests work fine.

Just wanted to add:
In ScummVM 0.6.1 the error message is:
Assertion failed: memcpy(&fileHeader, "Creative Voice File\x1A", 20) == 0, file sound/voc.cpp, line 125
In ScummVM Daily Build the error message is:
Assertion failed: version == 0x010A || version == 0x0114, file sound/voc.cpp, line 142
The attached savegame is from the daily build.
I checked the game with DosBox and it worked without problems.

Another update :)
1.) It does not (!) crash with ScummVM 0.6.0. On the contrary it works perfect.
2.) With ScummVM 0.6.1 or the daily build it also crashes in the first part of the intro, when the tentacles drink the radioactive slime and the purple tentacle says "die welt erobern" ("take over the world"). Displays the same assertion failed message as with the other crash.

I have the same problem on my Fujitsu/Siemens Pocket LOOX 610. (ScummVM 0.6 works fine)

Yeah. Those version values are the only ones I know that make up a valid VOC version. Either there is a third one (unlikely, but not impossible), or the LEC guys simply screwed up once more and used invalid VOC data <sigh>. Would be interesting to get a dump of the VOC in question. Anybody who has the data files in question might be able to insert this right before the assert: Common::hexdump((byte *)&fileHeader, sizeof(VocFileHeader)); Then paste me the output here, please.

I just had the same assert problem reported in French version
of Simon the Sorcerer 2. A dump of header which causes
arrset in this case:
000000: 43 72 65 61 74 69 76 65 20 56 6f 69 63 65 20 46
|Creative Voice F|
000010: 69 6c 65 1a 1a 00 00 01 33 11
|ile.....3. |
The invalid version is 0100 instead of 010A

Hello,
I've got the same problem with the french version of DOTT. But the error message is slightly different.
Assertion failed: memcmp(&fileHeader, "Creative Voice File\x1A", 20) == 0, file sound/voc.cpp, line 125
This was a clean install from a clean package, so it is unsure that VOC files are corrupted.
Perhaps are there differences between localized versions of VOC files ?
Laurent.

nobody/Laurent: sounds like you were using an older version. However since you give us no details on your setup, I can't really say much more.
Kirben: hm, version 0x100? We could add that to the list, I guess. Although it's odd :-). Try modifying sound/voc.cpp, and extend the version check, does that help? assert(version == 0x010A || version == 0x0114); ---> assert(version == 0x010A || version == 0x0114 || version == 0x0100);

I added the invalid version used by French version of Simon the Sorcerer 2 and it works fine now.
Could someone with German version of DOTT disk version please try the current Windows daily snapshot to see if it helps. If the problem still occurs, paste the last few lines of output from console window.
comment:15 by , 20 years ago
Yes, all crashes are fixed with the latest changes. Works perfect again.
Thanks Kirben and Fingolfin :)
