Hi,

I have a problem. I have now the newest scummvm subversion to play The Legend of kyradia 1-3. Although it's not a problem to play book2 and book3 it is not possible to start kyra1.

It's always telling me: kyra.dat ist outdated. (I have version 17 but need 24) But I downloaded the newest kyra.dat (http://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/svnr ... gine-data/)
It doesn't matter which file In take. No file seems to work. Any idea?

Maybe you got some outdated kyra.dat around somewhere? For example in your extrapath, game directoy or executable path?
Also it would be nice to know which Kyrandia 1 version you are talking about.

I don't have any "extra" kyra.dat file in any folders around.
By the way I have the CD-ROM version of Kyrandia (from 10 years westwood compilation 1985-1995)
When I use ScummVM (0.11.1) it works without a problem!

There are 2 places you can place kyra.dat in:
- The /extras folder
- The game's folder

Make sure you delete ALL kyra.dat files from these folders, and try downloading kyra.dat again

@md5@

thank you so much. It's working now! Stupid me!
It seems, there was an old version of kyra.dat in the games folder.

But I don't know why it worked with the earlier summvm version.

Because the older ScummVM version supports the old kyra.dat file perhaps?;) Just guessing.

I just installed the Subversion build, and both Kyr 1 & 2 gives me the "outdated". I have tried to completely uninstall and delete all settings.

I am using the kyra.dat from the downloads page. Is there some other version I should use?

Yea. Didn't work.

I re-downloaded the subversion and used the kyra.dat from that one, and it worked. The kyra.dat stand-alone file didn't thou.

For the SVN version, the SVN kyra.dat is needed:
https://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/svn ... a/kyra.dat
NOT the one for version 0.11.1:
https://scummvm.svn.sourceforge.net/svn ... a/kyra.dat

I have the same problem with Mac OSX SVN Build 0.12.0svn (May 24 2008 12:02:38) Universal on a 24" iMac Alu mid 2007. The kyra.dat is boundled inside the ScummVM.app and is dated May 24 2008 15:58; there's no other kyra.dat in my hd. Both LOK and HOF says

You're missing the 'kyra.dat' file or it got corrupted, (re)get it from the ScummVM website!

Just drag the kyra.dat into your kyra directory or get a new copy of kyra.dat.

Though, I'm not sure why it's not recognizing it. The code in common/file.cpp checks inside the bundle.

But lure.dat, quenn.tbl, sky.cpt are recognized inside the.app

Silly update
The kyra.dat from the wii port, dated Jan 4 2008 13:15 works fine on OSX SVN Build 0.12.0svn (May 24 2008 12:02:38), if i put it inside the boundle!!! All 3 Kyrandia games run in any flavour!
