a.borque Posted June 24, 2011 Posted June 24, 2011 Hello! I have already tried to solve this over in the ScummVM-Forums but did not get any reply. So I am trying here: When trying to compress the monster.sou of the german floppy-disk version of Sam & Max hit the road I always recive the following error message: "Fatal Error Occured: Read beyond the end of file (E:\scumm\MONSTER.SOU)". As it works on the english files and the corresponding monster.sou of german DOTT without any problem there must be a structural problem in this file. A clean and error-free reinstallation from original disks did not solve the problem. Can anybody confirm this / has anybody a solution? Thanks A.Borque
jestar_jokin Posted June 26, 2011 Posted June 26, 2011 Can you open the file in SCUMM Revisited? http://goblin.cx/scumm/scummrev/
a.borque Posted July 1, 2011 Author Posted July 1, 2011 Hello! Yes, Scumm Revisited opens the file but plays only one short piece of sound. the rest of data seems to be unknown to Scumm Revisited. I can provide a version of this monster.sou for analysis, if anyone is interested. Let me say once again, this file results from a fresh error-free installation from original disks! Thanks A.Borque

jestar_jokin Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 Sorry, I haven't had a chance to look at this yet (working on the image encoder and some bug fixes for Scummbler).

I don't want to rush you, but did you have a chance to take a look at the monster.sou? jestar_jokin is still busy developing a scumm V1 graphic encoder. So if you could take a look it would be very helpful for me! Thanks A.Borque
jestar_jokin Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I spoke with a.borque a while ago and resolved the issue, here's what I found. MONSTER.SOU files contain two chunks per sound: VCTL - contains lip synch data (also sometimes VTTL) SOU - contains the Creative VOC file data The German Sam & Max MONSTER.SOU seems to have a VCTL without an associated SOU entry. I wrote a small tool to fix the MONSTER.SOU file - it will create a new MONSTER.SOU file and only copy data for each VCTL chunk that has a matching SOU chunk. Perhaps a better solution would be to update the ScummVM tools to skip invalid sound entries.

icanntspell Posted December 13, 2011 Posted December 13, 2011 The bug will also be fixed in the next release. Patch got accepted today.
