COMI : Unknown Chunk Found (And speach delays)

Post by DevilShroom »

Hello all.

I'm having a problem running my Curse of Monkey Island game in ScummVM.

If you've played it, I get to the part near the beginning where LeChuck is blown up with his own Voodoo cannonball and the ship capsizes. The game is supposedly about to cut to Guybrush in the treasure hold when this message pops up.

'ScummVM 0.13.0svn (Sep 22 2008 10:36:52)
Console is ready
Debugger started, type 'exit' to return to the game.
Tyoe 'help' to see a little list of commands and variables
ERROR: (9:131:0x133) : Unknown Chunk found at 9de356: 0, 0
'

Cue my face -> :shock: Whaaa?

Like a simpleton I tried the help and exit options. Exit didn't return me to the game and help gave me a list that caused me even more confusion.

I searched up this problem on the forum to find that someone else had had a similar one but with a differen game. The difference was however they had had the problem since the beginning with their game I on the otherhand have never had this problem with mine. It used to play through beautifully then suddenly today (while I was filming a walkthrough of it, huh, typical) it pops up with this.

I haven't a clue what's happened nor understand what the error is.

Any advice? What is the quickest and easiest why to fix this?


Also (this is not a big problem but just something I wanted to ask about since it's a bit annoying) the speech in my COMI (when run in ScummVM) is really slow. I've got really long delays between each character's speech.
I'm basically having this problem,

Any advice on how to fix this? It's really rather frustrating.

Errors like that are usually caused by faulty datafiles - either due to read errors when copying them from CD or if they somehow got corrupted during compression with the scummvm tools. Have you tried copying the datafiles again from the CDs?

I also notice your SVN version is quite old (Sep 13?) - maybe a current version will improve things.

As for the debugger popping up: this only happens when ScummVM can't continue anyway, so exit exits ScummVM (kinda like a BSOD for ScummVM, just green ^^) - and help gives a number of advanced debugging options which are nowhere documented and only of use to the engine developers

My guess is that the delays between speech is caused by the subtitle-speed setting. Try decreasing/increasing it.
