BS2: AmigaOS4: No video playback
| Reported by: | (none) | Owned by: | fingolfin |
|---|---|---|---|
| Priority: | normal | Component: | Engine: Sword2 |

| Cc: | Game: | Broken Sword 2 |
Description
ScummVM 0.10.0svn (Sep 26 2006 11:57:25) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 zLib MPEG2
With the video files (be it the downloadable MP2's or the reencoded DXA's) in a subdir OR in the game's root dir, no video file is played.
I get a black screen with background music (NO narrator dummy coming up here) with the EYE movie and a narrator dummy with background sound and speech with the INTRO ("This must be the place... Professor Ubie's House...").
I also CANNOT skip the movies with ESC, there is simply NO keyboard input processed or so it seems
Something HAS been fixed already, i couldn't use the game with the video files placed in subdirs before the OS4 backend fixes were made.
Broken Sword 2 - "Sold Out" Version (English)

Hello,
I have installed the game files as told in the manual and copied videos in the same directory.
I have the error "Cannot open SCRIPTS.CLU" when trying to start the game for the first time. If I try again, it starts. There is loud music but no video for a moment, and then the intro movie starts, and finally the game starts.
If I try the demo, it may not start on the first attempt either (Cannot open SCRIPTS.CLU) but when it starts, there is the same loud music AND eye movie, but only music after (no video) until the demo game starts.
Ok, this is a lousy bug report but I will try to find the reason for this errational behaviour..
AmigaOS 4 build.

Hmm.. turns out I haven't installed BS 2 DEMO cutscene pack. When I install that I probably get a playback with demo. (sorry)

Ok, I guess I found something related to starting problems. Turns out that sometimes SCRIPTS.CLU is imagined to be a directory (File:exists() returns false) and this causes an error message in sword2's ResourceManager. I already changed AmigaOS FS constructors and now I can start the game and demo always with video playback too. I will check if anything breaks now and make little patch.

With this patch from capehill, i can confirm that all the issues i described are gone, game starts, videos play.
I'm now even able to put the two speech.clu files into a subdir SPEECH (which wasn't possible before) and the game still runs and doesn't complain
Great work capehill

Apparently patch #1573141 fixed it. It was accepted by Fingolfin. Thanks, Juha.
Just for the record, it's not gone, but has changed
Videos in MP2
1. With todays build i can watch the "eye" movie, but i still get the "Narrator dummy screen" on the intro movie. I CAN skip this intro again, but when i press ESC i have to wait until the background music stops (voice acting is already stopped) to get ScummVM to skip to the game.
This is with all of the video files in the main dir (together with the rest of the files)
2. Placing the video files into a subdir called "VIDEO", i get the "Broken Sword: Cannot find SCRIPTS.CLU" error message ... see bug #1548205
3. Placing the videos in a subdir called "VIDEOS", i get the normal playback (that is with the MP2 format) and can play the game as it should be
Videos in DXA
1. Like above
2. Normal playback of the .dxa video files, game works
3. "Broken Sword: Cannot find SCRIPTS.CLU" error message
Funny thing is the "randomness" between the naming of the subdir AND the format of the video files, there definitely seems to be something wrong with file/path handling here. (Amiga OS4/MorphOS-only, maybe)
OS4 porter is informed about that, just to notice everyone else, maybe someone has an idea or stumbled over some suspicious code the other day which MAY trigger this behaviour!?
