Did you take a look here: http://www.scummvm.org/documentation.php?view=datafiles

You may have overwritten your speech.clu file, that is, if
you actually installed it to HD. (which you didn't tell us)

The original SMACKER cutscenes aren't (and never will be)
supported by ScummVM, you can, of course download the reencoded
MPEG cutscenes from here: http://scummvm.org/downloads.php

What shall I do with this files?

I don't know if it's the same on all versions, but on the Sold-Out Software releases, the speech.clu files for Broken Sword 1 are in the SPEECH folders on the CDs. For Broken Sword 2 they are in the CLUSTERS folders on the CDs. They are not identical, so you should rename them speech1.clu and speech2.clu so ScummVM can tell which is from the first CD and which is from the second one.

Or do you mean you don't have the speech.clu files because you didn't buy the game? In that case, we can't help you.

I have the game but I didn't understand that these files are on the cd.

I followed the documentation now I heard the voice but I still not see the animation ... :\

I copied the ogg file in the smackshi directory.
Tnx

I copied the ogg file in the smackshi directory.

try moving them to the main directory, or try adding the directory with the video files as an extra path - I don't think ScummVM looks in the smackshi directory

hope that helps,
clem

I did cp the files everywhere but I see nothing

Did you wait a while? The Broken Sword 1 intro is supposed to be all black until the little speech has ended. Then the music begins in earnest, and the Revolution logo should appear.

When I start the game, the player was in front of the bar after the explosion.

I thought you said you heard the voice-over. Oh well. Here's how my Broken Sword 1 directory looks:

Code: Select all

sword1
|-- compacts.clu
|-- general.clu
|-- ireland.clu
|-- maps.clu
|-- music
|   |-- 10m1.wav
|   |-- ...
|   `-- spm6b.wav
|-- paris1.clu
|-- paris2.clu
|-- paris3.clu
|-- paris4.clu
|-- scotland.clu
|-- scripts.clu
|-- spain.clu
|-- speech1.clu
|-- speech2.clu
|-- swordres.rif
|-- syria.clu
|-- text.clu
|-- train.clu
`-- video
    |-- candle.mp2
    |-- ...
    `-- well.pal

Well, not really. This list shows the names of the uncompressed files, even where I've compressed them myself, but doing that is option. And I've abbreviated the contents of music and video since they contain a lot of files.

The opening cutscene is the one called "intro".

[nightiger]

my directories are totaly different:

Clusters/
|---- *.clu

MUSIC/
|---- *.wav

Saves/
Smackshi/
|---- *.ogg
|---- *.smk

Smackslo/
SPEECH/
|---- SPEECH1.CLU
|---- SPEECH2.CLU

GameInfo.inf
restart.bin
Smackw32.dll
SwdUI.exe
Sword.exe
Sword.Inf
sword.vol
[/img]

[eriktorbjorn]

Saves/
Smackshi/
|---- *.ogg
|---- *.smk

As clem already said, ScummVM probebly won't look in any "Smackshi" folder. (Well, 0.9.0 probably will, but not 0.8.2.) And it definitely won't look for any .smk files. It will look for the re-encoded cutscenes which are .mp2 (for the video), .ogg (for the audio) and .pal (optional palette data).

oky so I need to delete the Smackshi directory and where can I get the video re-encoded files?
