scumm doesen`t load brokensword 2 cutscenes

Post by banan »

hi have just built scummvm 0.13.0 on my ubuntu system from the sourcecode i downloaded from the downloads section.From there i have also downloaded brokensword 1 and 2 cutsences packs.the weird thing is that scumm loads the intro for broken1 but not the intro for broken2.I have followed the instructions and put all the .dxa and .fla files from the cutscenes pack in a folder called video and put that in the games folder.It works in broken1 but not in broken2 does anybody know how to solve this?
if it helps this is how my .config file looked before i built scumm

Ooops! just noticed when i pasted the config that it says
(w/ mpeg2 cutscenes) on both broken1 and broken2 engines. Maybe thats the problem cause i dont have the mpeg cutscenes only the .dxa ones.If thats the case how can i fix it so that scumm uses the .dxa ones instead?

No, that just means that ScummVM uses the low-quality MPEG cutscenes, if it can find them. If it works for Broken Sword 1, there isn't any reason you shouldn't also be able to get it to work with Broken Sword 2. The first cutscene it should play is the "eye" one, follow by "intro".

Have you double-checked that the video folder for Broken Sword 2 is in the directory you pointed ScummVM to when adding the game? (You can check what the Game Path setting is in the Edit Game dialog.)

I had a similar problem when I put the Broken Sword games on my iPod Touch. The cutscenes would play properly by default for the first game, but not for the second. I found that if I manually pointed the "Extras" path toward the video folder, they worked fine.

Sounds like they weren't in any folder where ScummVM would look by default, then. The Broken Sword 2 engine looks in the folder you pointed it to when adding the game (of course), and in folders named "clusters", "sword2" or "video" inside that folder. (The development version also looks in "smacks", but I guess that's a recent addition.)

The files were in the "video" folder, which I'm pretty sure is where they're meant to be. Like I said, I managed to get them working, but I thought this info would help the developers or anyone who runs into the same issue.

That works for me, without using the extra path. I've only tried running ScummVM on an ordinary computer, though.
