Feeble Files video in beta version problems?

FeebleFiles1 · Post by **FeebleFiles1** » Wed May 30, 2007 9:25 am

Hello,

i have a problem. I want to try to play the feeble files with the new scummvm programm. so i add the game. the start screen appears. But then when i want to start an new game he says he cannot find winasoft.dxa. but the file is includet in the folder.

Is that a bug, or have i to encode the videos again with encode_dxa?

Then the other problem.

when i run the Convert_dxa script i get only this messages:

Setting environment variables...
Processing "E:\smk\agent32.smk"...
Width = 640, Height = 480, Framerate = -10000, Frames = 734
Encoding video...read_png_file: Can't open file: agent32000.png
Deleting temp files
E:\smk\agent32.smk
Processing "E:\smk\Airlock.smk"...
Width = 640, Height = 480, Framerate = -10000, Frames = 544
Encoding video...read_png_file: Can't open file: Airlock000.png
Deleting temp files
E:\smk\Airlock.smk
Processing "E:\smk\Allcreds.smk"...

He cannot find the png files, i only choose the pathes in the convert_dxa.bat file as you said.

Whats going wrong?

But the png files are in the directory i have found them.

Regards

Sebastian

Whats going on with this script? i have heard from other people too, that it doesnt works perfectly.

Is there an alternative script that i can use instead of that?

I tryed the whole afternoon to find the error in the script, but if i correct one error i get more and more problems.

Which OS are you using?
What file system are you using (NTFS/FAT32)? FAT32 has problems when many files are in a folder
Have you downloaded the required files?

Hello i am not so good in english, therefore i have make a video with camtasia, you can watch it at:

http://www.sebby44.de/Encoding/Encoding.html

I made all as it says the documentation.

But you will see the errors

this video was made with the original script includet in the newest scummvm SVN.

as you can see i have set the pathes. in smk there are the smk files.

aber encoding, the file agent32 (as you can see in the video) is missing. I dont know where it is.

I find it curious because the file could not be deleted. i take a look in the dxa file folder and there it is.

How now!

i dont know where is the error in the script. as you can see the png files and the wav file is available in the directory.

The encode_dxa.exe tool has been changed in the SVN repository so that it doesn't need the .smk extention. You are probably using the ScummVM tools from version 0.9.1. Either download the latest SVN version of ScummVM, or to fix the errors you're getting with the 0.9.1 version of encode_dxa.exe, open file "convert_dxa_one.bat" and change line 22 from:

Code: Select all

"%TOOLS_PATH%\encode_dxa.exe" --vorbis "%~n1.smk"

to:

Code: Select all

"%TOOLS_PATH%\encode_dxa.exe" --vorbis "%~n1"

As I said though, it'd be more preferable if you just downloaded the latest SVN version of ScummVM

ok i downloaedet the acutall programm with the actual bat files and tools.

but when i run it now it says he cannot find the File Airlock but the file is in the directory.

Whats going wrong?

ok i am going to make a little test. i will put only one file in the smk directory and i will list the files of the directory before and after the error

Why nobody answers.

this problem i on 2 other computers also available, because there is an error in the script.

why nobody writes me an answer?

Maybe you forgot to pay your "Support subscription" fee, and so nobody is willing to help you yet?

Or maybe everybody hates you personally?

Or maybe nobody knows a solution to your problem?

Life is hard and cruel, I am afraid....

Since I'm not a Windows user, I don't know the answer to your questions. If there's a bug in the scripts, perhaps filing a bug report has a better chance of reaching someone who does know how to fix it?

Perhaps because it is a bug and all bugreports get discussed.... you know where.

PS. I wrote that script, and I'll gladly help you, but at appropriate place, not in the forums.
