Wow, that's a weird one. I'd say the sound file is bonkers or you have a weird version of S&M that expects sounds to be stored in a different order in the sounds file. Is this the European (DVD) S&M, or the North American compilation? Check with the author of Q&E to see if you have the same files as he does (since his version appears to work just fine after the filemix, which is what I think Q&E is doing anyway).

V.

I've got the UK, European Version. Thanks I will also try get a hold him and c what he says!!

Thanks!

By that I presume you mean the latest dvd case one?

Yeah Q+E just does the filemix, i'll ask around the lec community to see if I can find someone with that version to test with.
Like Vlad says it sounds like the structure of the resource files has changed in your version, which does seem very unlikely.
Can you do a crc of your samnmax.000 and samnmax.001? Also can you run 'samnmax.exe /?' and get the scumm version and build date that it prints ?

The dodgy noises in scummvm with s+m should be mostly fixed now, click auto-update on the scummvm tab to get the latest daily build and then try it.

Yeah, I know there has been this problem -- those same sounds, too -- with S&M before. Just wait for the next ScummVM, or something. 😉

This must be the recent re-release I had heard about in Europe. I had thought someone had said it was a DVD, but apparently it's just a DVD "package". I remember the guy who bought it was plenty hacked off as he had expected that these were Win9x source-ports of the originals, but Lucas had just re-released the DOS originals; two games that won't work properly on new machines.

Hey! Thanks guys 4 da help!

Sorry... I'm a bit stupid... what does CRC mean I must do? 😀
MMM... the samnmax.exe /? shows the date & build as:
Interpreter version 7.0.2 (Jun 02 1994)
Thanks so will also try SCUMMVM!

Well that .exe is the same as other s+m cd exe's then.
Sfv use it to make an sfv file or just to get the checksums of the resource files.
Then I can compare them to other versions.

Ok.. the checksums are:
Samnmax.000 = a277c40d and
Samnmax.001 = e813ff59 and for interest sake
Samnmax.exe = 92ee12e6
Just tried scummvm & works fine so far, no phantom sounds etc. where there was before! Hmmm... wonder if it's fine the whole game...

Exactly the same checksums as in the white label s+m release. So the dvd case version is still exactly the same.

I suggest uninstalling q+e, deleting the folder, reinstalling and doing the filecopy again. Should work then, something weird mustve happened the first time.

If it's on DVD, and you hard-code the locations, bgbennyboy (bad! heh), it's very possible that the executable is in an obscure location that Q+E doesn't understand.

No I didnt hardcode the locations, I only hardcoded the .exe names and he has the right .exe name.

Hm. Weird. Nevermind, then.
