No SFX in Fallout of Nevada under MacOS

[idealogica]

Everything works as expected, including music and speech. But totally no any sound effect. Sound effects are enabled in the options but they don't work. MacOS 12.6.7 (21G651). This is the log:

I do not know is it relevant but I had similar issue with Nevada running on Linux. I solved it by running dos2unix master.dat/sound/SFX/SNDLIST.LST. If it helps then you will also need to update other text files (VAULT13.GAM, enddeath.txt, etc)

[idealogica]

It worked! Thank you @roginvs! It looks like a bug, because even no any warning in the console when running it with a bad encoding.

[idealogica]

I ran these commands to resolve this:

brew install dos2unix
find . -iname "*.lst" | while read f ; do dos2unix "$f"; done  
find . -iname "*.txt" | while read f ; do dos2unix "$f"; done
find . -iname "*.gam" | while read f ; do dos2unix "$f"; done

@idealogica Also take a look on those notes regarding Fallout Nevada: https://github.com/roginvs/fallout2-ce/blob/main/os/web/README.md#fallout-nevada-notes Especially important part is artimer configuration because without any change your vault-city will disappear at some point

PS: I like your snipper for dos2unix, i will borrow it

[idealogica]

Thanks! This is very useful!
