Missing sound effect in new linux version

by Keith Frampton · in General Game Discussion · 09/18/2003 (6:33 pm) · 3 replies

Hello:

First off, thanks for updating the linux version so that we can now post our scores!

When you kill the enemy in the first level (or any or level with that particular enemy), there is no sound effect when you kill them. It is only in the third level (and other levels) when they change form a second time, will you hear a sound effect after killing them. I haven't played too many levels yet, but it seems the rest of the sounds are still there.

Any ideas what happened to it? There are no missing files in the new sfx directory compared the old one.

Maybe there are other linux users with the 1.32 update who can confirm this.

Thanks,

Keith

I hadn't noticed that myself, but I've only played the update a few times today. However, if you looked at the "console.txt" you'll see these errors;

*** [file] failed to stat '../styles/explosions/robo_green/anim.bin'
[file1] anim ??? cant read ../styles/explosions/robo_green/anim.bin

*** [file] failed to stat '../styles/explosions/chunk_red/anim.bin'
[file1] anim ??? cant read ../styles/explosions/chunk_red/anim.bin

It was a case sensitive problem on these two directories;

styles/explosions/robo_Green
styles/explosions/chunk_Red

I amended the G and R to lower case and it works fine now. Well, more explosions anyway - don't know about the sound. I have sent a mail to the dudes address.

Thanks for the info. It corrected the sound problem as well. I guess when you don't have an explosion, there is no sound either! :-)

Thanks,

Keith
