Unable to open charsize.dta

Post by giovpres »

Hi, when I play with Bud Tucker in Double Trouble in status window appears Warning: Unable to open 'charsize.dta'!
That file missing in this game, where I can get it to avoid the error?
Thanks

I don't have this game myself (it seems to be one of those games that only exists "in our dreams, in our memories, and... in Germany", to quote Tim Schafer completely out of context), but it looks to me as if that file contains information of how wide each character in the alphabet is. If it can't find the file, it uses default values instead.

So if the text in the game looks fine it's quite possible that the file is optional, not required, but ScummVM still warns about the failed attempt to read it, because most or all file access goes through the same standard function.
