Title: [Solved] Question about Sample.cat and sample2.cat
Post by: wolfreal on October 04, 2018, 02:07:45 am

Hi

After updating to OXCE5.1, executable started to ask me for sample.cat and sample2.cat on my sound folder of UFO. The thing is, I do not have those files in my UFO copy, and in my TFTD copy, I have only sample.cat, and not sample2.

TFTD is working flawlessly, but UFO is crashing every time for this reason. I copy TFTD Sample.cat to the UFO folder, and made another copy called Sample2.cat. The problem is solved but I don't get why it ask for a file I had never had.

Does I have a bad copy? Or it is something different?

both Steam files and GOG files contain sample.cat, sample2.cat and even sample3.cat

That is very sad. I have the same copy from 1997....

Well, I will look again

Thanks!

PD.

Thanks again. I found the problem. Reinstalled and get files again.

There might be a bug in the code as well: https://github.com/SupSuper/OpenXcom/commit/0854dec7da01a14503f750aecaf6c624df33859a
Will be fixed in the next version.

Still, having those files gives you better v1.4 sounds (if I understand correctly), so it's good to have them.

oh actually that's a good point, if you're running an unpatched original 1.0 version you'll have problems. you'll want the patch from strategycore

That was actually what I did. I searched the original copy, reinstalled in openbox, copy the files, and applied the patch from the strategycore page.

Thanks!.
