Troubleshooting / Re: SAMPLE.CAT does not contain 49 sound files

Thanks for the reply!

According to the file manager, the SAMPLE.CAT file is 1.1MB or 1,105,112 bytes. Just in case, I reinstalled the game via Steam and copied the file over again and still get the same error, but the file size is also identical, so no difference there.

Troubleshooting / SAMPLE.CAT does not contain 49 sound files

« on: March 22, 2024, 11:18:36 pm »

Hello!

I'm currently on Linux Mint 21.1, but saw that the latest nightly is ~3 years old (any chance of making a newer one?), so I pulled down the Windows installer and installed it via WINE. I have a previous installation of TFTD from Steam, so I pointed the installer to that location to copy the game files. Everything seemed to install correctly, but when I try to run it I get the following error:

ERROR: C:\users\brent\Documents\OpenXcom\TFTD/SOUND/SAMPLE.CAT does not contain 49 sound files.

Looking through all the file locations everything seems to be where it's supposed to be. Below is the log that's generated:

That's awesome! Thanks for the fix! I'll be watching the Update Manager for the update.

Thanks for the reply and analysis!

I haven't tried editing the file but I agree that it's probably best to avoid it. I think for now I'll keep that game on the back burner and start another one with the mod disabled, but turn on the line of sight mod for psionics. My biggest problem with the psionics is I find it way overpowered for the aliens.

Anyway, sounds like a legit bug so I'll make my way over to the bug tracker and file it.

Just out of curiosity... is it possible to include some kind of conditional statement in the .rul file?

Troubleshooting / [TFTD] Reasearching Live Deep One Terrorist Crashes Game With "No Psionics" Mod

« on: January 22, 2017, 06:48:13 pm »

Note: I am aware TFTD has some tech tree issues which is why I didn't file a bug in the tracker; I'm unsure if this is related to that or not.

Background
I was wondering why I wasn't getting Ion Armour in my research topics so I went online and found a tech tree (GameFAQs) that stated I needed a Live Deep One Terrorist. Cool, very next mission was a terror attack so I figured I'd get one. I did. I brought it back and threw all my scientists at it. Did a small mission after shooting down an Aquatoid sub and shortly after the game froze. I always save after completing a mission so I reloaded, waited a bit, and the game froze again. Below is my gamelog.

Extra information has been saved to openxcom.log.
If this error was unexpected, please report it to the developers.

I have also attached my .sav file.

Steps to reproduce

• Enable the No Psionics mod
• Load game and click the "30 Mins" speed
• Wait a few seconds - crashes at about 23:41 on June 28, 2040

To avoid the crash, load the game but immediately go to the North Atlantic base and cancel the research project. The game proceeds normally.

You can also disable the mod, load the game (click yes to the warning), and click the 30 Mins speed. The research completes as expected and you get Ion Armour and MC Lab for next research topics; however, if you save, exit, reenable the mod, when you try to go back into the game and select a new research topic the game crashes with the same message (STR_MC_LAB not found).

I am on the latest nightly according to the Linux Mint Software Manager. Was prompted to update yesterday: 1.0+20170114.19d7054-1-trusty1 ==> 1.0+20170121.6317d00-1-trusty1.

If you need any other information please don't hesitate to ask! Thanks!

Troubleshooting / Re: No sound on Linux Mint 17.3

« on: January 21, 2017, 11:09:05 pm »

Thanks for the reply!

I managed to fix it. Linux had defaulted the sound device to "Analog Output". After I changed the game to windowed mode I checked the tray icon and changed the setting to my TV. Voila, sound.

I feel dumb but I'm not a Linux expert (yet...) and I have never encountered that before.

Thanks again for replying! Is there a way to mark the thread resolved?

EDIT: Random question... since I installed the game via the PPA, when new builds are pushed will I get the update notifications automatically in the Software Manager, or is it a manual process?

Troubleshooting / No sound on Linux Mint 17.3

« on: January 21, 2017, 04:32:51 am »

Hello!

I installed the latest nightly from the PPA on the downloads page. When I run the game I don't hear any sound. I also tried installing the three recommended packages when I installed the PPA: musescore-soundfont-gm, fluid-soundfont-gm, and freepats. I'm not sure what they are for, but they sounded (heh) sound-related. Note: I installed the game on Linux Mint 18 (on my laptop) as a test and got sound out of the box.

I did a search and saw this thread, but my log doesn't indicate an error, so I am a little stuck at the moment. For reference, this is what my log captures:
