Bug in scummVM interface

derboo · Post by **derboo** » Sun Jun 17, 2007 8:22 am

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to make entries to the bug tracker, so I write it here:

When i have Gobliiins and Gobliins 2 installed, scummVM always starts Gobliiins, no matter which one i select.

Similar problem with Elvira and Simon the Sorcerer, but in this case it just crashes when i select Elvira after searching for the data files from Simon.

When i remove the folders for Gobliiins and Simon respectively, it works.

I used the latest daily build for Windows.

Did you put the Gobliiins and Gobliins 2 data files in the same folder? That could probably confuse ScummVM.

No, they are in seperate folders called gob1 and gob2.

Please, click on "Edit game" for the problematic games, and tell us the game ID for each game

Have you tried removing the problematic entries in the ScummVM interface and readding them?

ID's are gob1cd-us and gob2-us. I tried to delete and re-add them but it doesn't solve the problem.

The problem seems to be that i have both game folders in the same subfolder (its /scummvm/games/gob1/ and /scummvm/games/gob2/). It would even load Gobliiins if it is not added at all in the scummvm interface.

Could it be a problem with priority given to certain subfolders? I tried to move gob1 to /scummvm/gob1/ and after doing this and re-inserting the games into scummvm it always loads gob2 instead, even if i choose gob1.

Perhaps you'd better list which files are inside the gob1 and gob2 folders, because if there are only Gobliins 2 data files in gob2, and you're pointing ScummVM to that folder, I don't see how it could possibly play Gobliiins from it.

It doesnt load if from the Gobliins 2 folder.
It loads from scummvm/games/gob1/ even if i select the Gobliins 2 instance located in scummvm/games/gob2/ (before i moved gob1).

gob1:
gob.lic
intro.stk
track1.mp3

gob2:
disk2.stk
disk3.stk
intro.stk

Could you please post your scummvm.ini (only the parts where gob1 and gob2 are listed)?
and maybe your md5sums of the .stk files?

Other things that could possibly affect this is that, in addition to looking for files in the game path, ScummVM also looks for them in the current directory (under Windows, this is probably the folder where scummvm.exe is) and the "extra path".

I don't have a "scummvm.ini" file...

The last suggestion sounds plausible to me, but I don't know how to change the current directory manually.

Are you sure a scummvm.ini doesn't exists on your system? the default location depends on the Windows version.

Windows Vista:
\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\ScummVM\scummvm.ini

Windows 2000/XP:
\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\ScummVM\scummvm.ini

Windows NT4:
<windir>\Profiles\username\Application Data\ScummVM\scummvm.ini

Windows 95/98/ME:
<windir>\scummvm.ini

Hmm, i use WinXP, there is a ScummVM subfolder in Application Data, but it's empty.

Edit: For some reason it's in the windir.

Here are the entries:

[gob2-us]
description=Gobliins 2 (DOS/English (US))
path=C:\Games\ScummVM\games\gob2\
platform=pc
gameid=gob
language=us

[gob1cd-us]
description=Gobliiins CD (v1.02/DOS/English (US))
path=C:\Games\ScummVM\games\gob1\
platform=pc
gameid=gob
language=us

It seems like there are a duplicated gameid entry. If I'm correct, fix it and see if still fails

Gobliiins = gob1
Gobliins 2 = gob2

( from http://www.scummvm.org/compatibility.php )

In the scummVM interface, they go by the ids in the brackets [], if i change it directly in the scummvm.ini, scummVM automaticly changes them back when I start it. I guess it gameid= means the engine name?

That was the default location in earlier versions of ScummVM.

Actually 'gob' is used as the gameid for all GOB engines games now.
