Re: feeble files converting cutscene
I *think* you mustn't rename the encoder exe but run it from the commandline (no double-clicking!) - but only if it works anything like the other ScummVM toolsTooplex wrote:then i renamed it to encode_dxa NextDoor.exe i double click it then all it does is open then instantly close what am i doing wrong please help me!!!!!
YES I DID this is what it says:
encode_dxa <prefix> <directory>
Creates DXA file out of extracted Smacker video.
To extract a video use RAD Game Tools and perform passes on it. For example, if your video is called 'intro.smk'.
1. Extract the video to PNG, 256 colors (choose PNG format
and tick the checkbox). It will create bunch of files named
'introXXX.png', where XXX is frame number. Make sure you have
extracted 256 colors PNGs, otherwise encode_dxa will complain.
2. Extract the audio to WAV format, you will get an
'intro.wav' file.
3. Put files 'intro.smk', 'intro.wav' and 'intro*.png' into a
single directory.
4. Run `encode_dxa intro` in that directory
5. You will get an intro.dxa file and intro.flac/mp3/ogg file
in result.
Additionally you may use batch processing mode of SMK files in
RAD Game Tools. Just select more than one file and push the
'Convert' button. It will ask you either you want them
processed in batch mode and will do this for you. All buttons
and conversion options work the same.
I did that but it wont work
P.S im not being lazy ive spent 2 hours trying to work out this annoyennce

Run cmd.exe and supply cutscene as parameter. That's what meant by item 4 in that list.

PS. If you'll come up with more clear instructions, please, share them with us to help future users.
Start->Run->type in cmd.exe
however I think it will be difficult for you, i.e. then:
and then type in
See our FAQ #4.6 for similar procedure.

however I think it will be difficult for you, i.e. then:
Code: Select all
cd directory\where\your\feeble\lives
Code: Select all
encode_dxa intro

Start->Run...
Type 'cmd', hit OK.
In the window that opens:
(You need the quotes)
eg, if you put them in "C:\Program Files\ScummVM\tools\dxa":
Now, I am assuming you're using NextDoor.smk (and the png and wav files), and that you have left encode_dxa.exe named as such
That should work.
Type 'cmd', hit OK.
In the window that opens:
Code: Select all
cd "\where\the\smk, png and wav\files\are"
eg, if you put them in "C:\Program Files\ScummVM\tools\dxa":
Code: Select all
cd "\Program Files\ScummVM\tools\dxa\"
Code: Select all
encode_dxa NextDoor
Ok i did what you said and the error came up and this is the error:
"Encoding audio...'lame' is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
Got error from encoder. (check your parameters)
Encoder Commandline: lame -t --vbr-new -b 24 -q 2 -V 4 -B 64 "MUSOSP1.wav" "MUSOSP1.mp3"
What do i do?
P.S thank you Night weaver!

you also need the file lame.exe in the same directory, try downloading lame from http://www.free-codecs.com/Lame_Encoder_download.htm and extracting it to the same directory as the rest of the files now are in
