Crash using compress_scumm_sou with Sam & Max

Post by SiRoCs »

Hello!

I'm having a problem using this tool (0.9.0) to compress the monster.sou file of Sam and Max CD version. I'm trying to compress it using oggenc and the command line:

Code: Select all

compress_scumm_sou --vorbis -q 2 monster.sou
Then, it starts doing whatever it does (compressing, ripping... I don't know) but at certain point after a few minutes have passed, the tool crashes and outputs this message:

Code: Select all

ERROR: Unexpected data encountered!
I even tried using --mp3 flag and lame compressor, but outputs the same message and it doesn't finish compressing the file. By the way, I have finished the game with no problems :(

Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

Seems you got a bad file, try copying it again from your CD

So dumb I haven't tried it before... I supposed (erroneously) that if the game worked, the file couldn't be the problem.

Many thanks for the advice, it worked :D

No problem, sometimes the most difficult problems are the obvious ones :)
