Extraction and Compression Problems

[scummvm4ever]

I have a few problems and I am hoping someone can help me. Just to clarify I have my scumm tools and lame.exe in the directory c:\scumm.

1. Game- Indiana Jones FOA/Mac Version

Files used- atlantis.000,atlantis.001, and monster.sou
(these were on the CD already)

Problem- I drag and drop the monster.sou file on tool,
compress_scumm_sou.exe, it finishes and I am
left with a file called monster.sou.mp3 and
it is only around 13MB? After I load the three
files I need(atlantis.000,atlantis.001 and
my new monster.sou.mp3) I start up the game and
there is no voice.

2. Game- Sam&Max Hit the Road/Mac Version

Files used- Same&Max game data

Problem- I drag and drop the the main data file on
extract_scumm_mac.exe to obtain the three files
I need(samnmax.000,samnmax.001, and monster.sou).
Then when I drag and drop the monster.sou on the
tool, compress_scumm_sou.exe a message appears
on the Dos command box.

Voice file found pos=8 : Sound Data
-length=64512
-sample rate=22050(d3)
-comression=8 bits (00)
Bad command or file name

There is also another window that pops up saying
"This program has done an illegal operation" and
some other junk like that.

3. Game- Day of the Tentacle/Mac Version

Files used- Day of the Tentacle game data

Problem- I drag and drop the main data file on tool
extract_scumm_mac.exe the Dos command box starts
and it looks like it is working. It goes through
a list really fast that says " saving 00.lfl"
and so on all the way to "52.lfl". It also shows
that it extracted the monster.sou file, but no
tentacle.000 or tentacle.001. All these files
are saved to the C: drive. I When I click on the
monster.sou file and go to properties it shows
0KB, same with all the lfl files. It is like
there is no information at all.

So I don't know what I did wrong, but if anyone can help that would be very cool.

did you try running the tools from command line?

one thing comes to mind: the compressed file should be called monster.sou and not monster.sou.mp3 - are you sure you used the compress_ tool and not lame directly? (that usually happens when you drag a monster.sou on lame.exe)

In the case of problem number 1(Indiana jones FOA), this game came with the monster.sou. My work directory is C:\scumm and I have all of my tools in that one folder along with the lame.exe. So I copied and pasted the monster.sou file into c:\scumm, then I draged and dropped the file onto the tool compress_scumm_sou.exe and it came out with the monster.sou.mp3. I have not tried the command line with Indy FOA. I have tried it with samnmax, I went start, run, and typed com for a command window to come up. I then typed c:\scumm\compress_scumm_sou monster.sou and hit enter. It started then said it was a bad command line or something like that.

No I have not dropped the file directly into the lame.exe
