compress_saga - How to use? - Error message

Post by mcfly_inc »

I've tried using compress_sage.exe but got this error message
ERROR: Sorry - unsupported resourceType 31
and got a file called out.res (0 bytes)

I use the following command
compress_saga --flac --best -b 1152 voices1.res
(From I have no mouth and I must scream)

That tool is work-in-progress, so I wouldn't expect it to work. Besides, as the README points out, ScummVM currently does not support playing compressed sounds in SAGA games. (Not to mention that I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream is far from playable yet.)

OK - by the way, the reason that I used a file from I have no mouth, is because it's only 55MB instead of 434MB for voices.rsc (Inherit the Earth)
Tried Inherit, but it said unknown file and made a out.res the same size as the original (434MB).
And yes I know that ScummVM does not support compressed sounds in SAGA games - but hopefully it will some day.

UPDATE

Just tried compress_saga.exe (03-June) with sounds.rsc and voices.rsc (Inherit the earth) and it worked (75MB Less - with flac)
But ofcause it will not play - Yet (so I can't test if they play allright)
