Broken Sword 2 - CD2 Speech

[Spritkopf02]

Hello

I have a problem with the speech in Sword 2. I'm at the point where my boat gets crashed by that helicopter and George is in the jungle (the treehouse). Till that point all worked well. But now, after the cutscene, there is no speech, just subtitles. It seems, that scummvm can't find the speech2.clu, because when I look at an item in my inventory from the beginning, then i hear the speech (these samples are coming from the speech1.clu, I guess). I have both files, speech1.clu and speech2.clu in the Speech Subfolder in my SWORD2 directory.

I tried several things. Setting the Extra-Path in Scumm Options to the Speech-dir, doesn't work. Putting the speech files directly in the sword2-dir, doesn't work too.

Any Ideas?

Thanks!

I can't check at the moment, but I would guess that the speech describing inventory items is in both the speech files. Have you checked that the speech2.clu file actually is the one from the second CD, i.e. that you haven't accidentally copied the one from the first CD twice?

Yes, I've had that thought already. The filesize of the speech2 is different from the size of speech1...

Odd. I tried removing my speech2 file. As I expected, I don't get any speech at all in the second part. Not even from the inventory items from the first part of the game. The only possibility I can think of is if the file has been damaged or truncated somehow. Have you tried copying the file from the CD again?

I tried replacing my speech2 file with a copy of my speech1 file, and that gave me the symptoms you described: No speech, except for the inventory objects.

When looking for the speech2 file, ScummVM will try a number of different file names, in the following order: speech2.clf, speech.clf, speech2.clg, speech.clg, speech2.cl3, speech.cl3, speech2.clu and speech.clu. Is it possible that ScummVM finds any left-over copy of the first speech file?
