Title: Can't find resources in "The Marionette"?
Post by: Spummy on Sun 28/02/2010 02:50:53
Hey all. I'm encountering an error saying it can't find the videos in "The Marionette" when the videos are there. I'm running Linux, and getting it in both the 2.72RC2 Port and WINE. Not the slightest bit sure what could be causing it, anyone have any ideas?

Can you be more specific about the error message? I don't think the Linux port supports playing videos, does the game continue anyway?

Odd, I coulda sworn I read it supported videos, oh well, I'm probably mistaking. The game continues in WINE, but crashes in the Linux port.

** ERROR **: Resource not found.
aborting...
Shutting down Allegro due to signal #6
Aborted

Is the Linux Port error.

Video playing error: File not found or format not supported: Z:\home\<USER>\Desktop\TM\WFL\tm001.wfl

Is the error in WINE, and continues as I said before.

It's a pity that the Linux port crashes at that point, it would be preferable if it just continued anyway. With WINE, it probably depends on what codecs are installed, I'm not sure what the DirectShow support in WINE is like.

Been trying some codecs, nothing so far, been searching for WFL specific ones, but I can't even find a mention of WFL as a proper video format, properties tells me it's an ASF video, but those are typically asf/wma/wmv.

I think Auriond was trying to be clever and renamed the files to avoid the end user cheating and watching the videos in media player. As far as I can tell it's a WMV file.
