Startool incompatible with StarCraft Best Seller Series edition #13

Closed timfel closed 2 years ago

timfel commented 9 years ago

Hi,

Startool seems to be incompatible with StarCraft Best Seller Series Edition:

samuel@portable:~/starcraft/stargus-instdir/bin$ ./startool /media/cdrom0/ /home/samuel/starcraft/data.sg Extract from "/media/cdrom0/" to "/home/samuel/starcraft/data.sg" Using mpq list file "/home/samuel/starcraft/data.sg/mpqlist.txt" Please be patient, the data may take a couple of minutes to extract... Archive "/media/cdrom0//install.exe" Can't open /media/cdrom0//install.exe Could not open archive "/media/cdrom0//install.exe", skipping Archive "/media/cdrom0//stardat.mpq" Can't open /media/cdrom0//stardat.mpq Could not open archive "/media/cdrom0//stardat.mpq", skipping Fatal error: Cannot extract data

Certainly because files are named differently:

samuel@portable:~$ ls /media/cdrom0 Autorun.inf Installer.ico Installer Tome.mpq StarCraft (Windows).exe

I'm running latest bazaar revisions for both Stratagus and Stargus, on Debian 7.1 64 bits.

Sincerely,

Samuel

(by brad-c6) Try taking the Installer Tome.mpq and coping to the your computer and rename it "install.exe". Then point Startool at that directory

(by samuel-viscapi) Hi,

/media/cdrom0

cp Installer\ Tome.mpq /home/samuel/install.exe

mkdir /home/samuel/starcraft/data.sg

cp /home/samuel/starcraft/stargus/mpqlist.txt /home/samuel/starcraft/data.sg

cd /home/samuel/starcraft/stargus/build

./startool /home/samuel /home/samuel/starcraft/data.sg

samuel@portable:~/starcraft/stargus/build$ ./startool /home/samuel /home/samuel/starcraft/data.sg Extract from "/home/samuel" to "/home/samuel/starcraft/data.sg" Using mpq list file "/home/samuel/starcraft/data.sg/mpqlist.txt" Please be patient, the data may take a couple of minutes to extract... Archive "/home/samuel/install.exe" Not found: files\stardat.mpq

Bye, Sam

(by brad-c6) The internal structure of the MPQ is different from that of the US original edition. It might be if you extract using MPQExtractor(https://github.com/Kanma/MPQExtractor) the file "Common/Starcraft.mpq" and then change it's name to install.exe that might work

(by electricprism-m) After banging my head against the wall I finally was able to generate a data.sg file on Arch Linux.

I first mounted my starcraft backup iso.

Startool usage is as follows

$ startool -h startool V1.0 for Stratagus (c) 2002-2012 by the Stratagus Project. Written by Lutz Sammer, Nehal Mistry, and Jimmy Salmon and Pali Rohar. https://launchpad.net/stargus Usage: startool archive-directory [destination-directory] [mpqlist-file] -V Show version -h Show usage archive-directory Directory which include the archive install.exe or stardat.mpq... destination-directory Directory where the extracted files are placed. mpqlist-file mpqlist.txt file which contains mpq file names

#

I had to manually specify the 3rd hidden option "mpqlist-file" - once I manually linked to this file it was able to build a data.sg file in my home directory.

startool /run/media/electricprism/StarCraft /home/electricprism/data.sg /usr/share/games/stratagus/stargus/mpqlist.txt

Hope this info helps others out there experiencing the same problem.

Similar problems here. First, I had to touch ~/.stratagus/sc/data/mpqlist.txt to get something other than "could not open archive". Now instead I get this error:

Archive "/Users/thomas/StarCraft//starcraft.mpq"
Not found: files\font\font8.fnt

The archive exists, this is my installed Version StarCraft 1.15.2 and it works flawlessly in Windows, although I'm not sure where it's from, exactly...

timfel commented 8 years ago

I have seen this problem, might have a temporary fix / workaround soon.

timfel commented 8 years ago

@xythobuz you shouldn't have to use an empty mpqlist file, there is one that comes with this project, could you try it? Also, I have updated the windows installer, you could try extracting the data in windows and moving it to your unix box

What's the result here? I'm trying to help someone else with this edition install but it always breaks. Should this work now?
