No sound in VCMI

International board Help & Bugs
#1

I managed to get vcmi runningon my KUbuntu 12.04 x64 system, though the directories described by

vcmiclient -v

weren’t made automatically, so I made a ‘/usr/share/vcmi’ manually. I didn’t see anything about the other 2 directories so I didn’t worry about them.
VCMIclient runs, but I get these errors in the console:

Warning: Cannot open /usr/share/vcmi/Mp3/MAINMENU.MP3: Couldn't read from '/usr/share/vcmi/Mp3/MAINMENU.MP3'

I

sudo chmod -R a+r /usr/share/vcmi

so that files could be opened, and that allowed vcmi to start, but I still have this issue. Amarock can play the MP3s from this directory so I don’t understand the problem.

#2

Version 0.89 from .deb packages?

If so - this may be case-sensivity issue. Make sure that you have this file with exactly same name.
Most possibly directory name is “MP3” - it must be Mp3 instead. Same goes to file name - make sure that name is exactly as you see it in console.

Should be fixed in next release.

#3

Yes

That was it! Thanks!

One other quick question: In the menu for a new scenario, there’s a button next to ‘Random Map’ that says ‘WoG Options’, is that not yet implemented? There’s no ‘depression’ animation if I click on it and it doesn’t do anything that I can see, and I couldn’t find a manual for 8.9 (only 8.7) so I’m not sure if something is broken there or just work in progress.

#4

Wog options are not implemented. Same goes to random maps, network multiplayer and campaigns. These are most notable things.

#5

Okay, thanks. Looking forward to the next release!
