No music (and several other error messages)

[tinker]

I found an old version of Vega Strike (0.3) when tidying out some old files. I never managed to get it to run back then but came here to see what progress had been made. Seeing lots had happened I went furtling about in Arch repositories and grabbed version 0.5.1.r1.

I think I have the config right, the manual is a bit different but most things are self explanatory. The game seems to work, there are some anomalies that are probably my fault for not knowing the keybindings yet, but there is no music at all being played. First thing was to check the terminal output, I noticed fairly early on in the loading -

Code: Select all

Attempt to call ReadFull on a bad file units.csv -1 /usr/share/vegastrike/units/units.csv

Nothing to do with music I think, but is it important?

Next up were several errors -

Code: Select all

Error no songs in playlist 1

These were repeated several hundred times with messages of things being loaded or created successfully and occasional other errors like -

Code: Select all

Error: Cannot Open Unit Llama.begin from save file New_Game.

also there was a big list of warnings -

Code: Select all

and finally one other error

Code: Select all

Unit file engine00 not found

None of the messages, other than the several hundred no songs ones, seem to be connected to music and may not be of importance.

I can not find any setup for playlists so I assume that is internal programming, the music folder is full of stuff, so how do I get it to play or suppress the error messages?

[klauss]

How did you install? What distro?

EDIT: Ok, arch, I just noticed. Again, how was it installed? Because if you don't install the music package, you won't have music anyway.

[tinker]

As stated from the Arch repositories, the actual command was yaourt vegastrike

[klauss]

I have no idea what that does. Do you have music files in /usr/share/vegastrike/music ?

[tinker]

yaourt basically grabs the source file and builds an arch binary and installs it.

the /usr/share/vegastrike/music folder has 59 .ogg files in it.

[loki1950]

If it just grabs the source and complies then do you have the nearly 1GB of data

Enjoy the Choice

[klauss]

Ok, you have the music files, so now the obvious question.

Did you enable music with vssetup?

[tinker]

The only setting I can see in vssetup for music is the choice of 3 volume settings or off. I would think that off would suppress the music totally and prevent the error messages. I have it at medium volume, I assume that is what you mean by enabling music in vssetup.

Yep. Puzzling.

Can you attach your full output capture and config file? "vegastrike --debug=2 > capture.log 2>&1" and the file in .vegastrike/vegastrike.config

Edit: I *am* thinking it might be the "no songs in playlist 1" thing. I'll have to check if I get that message (I don't usually pay attention). If your installation is missing the playlists (possible though unlikely), you should be able to grab them from svn. Can you find any .m3u files in /usr/share/vegastrike?

[tinker]

There are no .m3u files in /usr/share/vegasrike. I have noticed from the files below that there should be lots of cockpit sounds, I do get some not not very often the same with AI comms messages. The training guy Oswald (?) sometimes appears speaking sometime silent, sometimes he speaks without the graphic and sometimes he is only a message in the comms log. Quite often when he is audible he speaks two or three lines at the same time.

Unable to post vegastrike.config file is to big for forum, will post it online somewhere if it is still needed.

[klauss]

You probably have a problem there.

You should have a folder /usr/share/vegastrike/.vegastrike with lots of m3u files, among other things.

That's a packaging bug - if you can, report it downstream (to arch).

[loki1950]

And that folder should have copied to your own home folder as well.

Enjoy the Choice

[tinker]

OK to confirm, there is no /usr/share/vegastrike/.vegastrike folder and there is no copy in ~/.vegastrike. There is a sounds folder in ~/.vegastrike that contains no files, is that correct?

The packaging problem downstream will be reported, the svn repository version seems to be in trouble with gcc conflicts so I'll try and get the 'stable' version fixed first.

If all else fails I'll build from svn next month, my d/l quota is shot for this month.

[klauss]

You don't need to build everything, just extract the .vegastrike folder from svn and put it where it's supposed to be.

[tinker]

Yes I was looking at that as a possibility, but there could be other stuff missing from the Arch package, a lot depends on how responsive the maintainer is.

[tinker]

I copied the .vegastrike folder from svn to /usr/local/vegastrike. That is, to be clear, /usr/local/vegastrike contains a folder .vegastrike which has several subfolders a few files and lots of .m3u files.

With this configuration I no longer get the error messages but I still get no music.

Seeing loki1950 said it should also be copied to my home folder I copied it into ~/.vegastrike, that is ~/.vegastrike contains a folder .vegastrike same as /usr/local/vegastrike, this makes no difference, there is still no music played.

As the .m3u file are relative paths they do not play with an audio player unless I start the audio player from /usr/share/vegastrike, then they play ok.

I also noticed error messages this time for preintro.ogv and intro.ogv being missing, there really does seem to be a lot more wrong with the package than just music. /usr/share/vegastrike is 1.4 Gb which seems about the right size. I am fairly sure that after next week I will checkout the svn code and build my own copy.

The intro files are normal, we don't have them yet. It's not an error, just a warning.
