Missing FMVs in "my exotic" version #2487

Closed J013k closed 3 years ago

J013k commented 3 years ago

Hi.

I have a problem with FMVs in "my exotic" PL version of a game. I additionally copied all the SMK files including H2XINTRO.SMK into Anim folder.

Instead of having any FMV, I'm getting "kicked" straight into Main Menu. I tried version 0.8.4 (23 December 2020): fheroes2_windows_x64_SDL1 fheroes2_windows_x64_SDL2 None of these versions launch FMVs...

Only when I insert an org CD and launch an org launcher Heroes2w.exe everything is fine:

Hi @J013k , video support is done in relation to GOG version of the game. In your case you should copy these files from anim folder into heroes2\anim folder like one nested folder. However, we will add more code to check both paths.

Hi @J013k , did it help you?

J013k commented 3 years ago

I am not sure what do you mean... Should I change name of my folder from Heroes of Might and Magic II to heroes2? Because currently I have all the animations in ...\Heroes of Might and Magic II\Anim on a HDD and in E:\Heroes2\Anim* on a CD.

[*] - E.g. "E" it is a letter for my optical drive

Additionally these fixes were tagged with 0.9 milestone... The latest version seems to be 0.8.4. Or am I missing something?

Hi @J013k ,

if you unpacked fheroes2 into E:\Heroes of Might and Magic II and video files are located at E:\Heroes of Might and Magic II\Anim then you need to move Anim folder to E:\Heroes of Might and Magic II\Heroes2 directory so your animation/video files will be located at E:\Heroes of Might and Magic II\Heroes2\Anim.
tags are for the versions where a bug fix or a feature will be implemented. 0.9 is a future release version.

However, I'll make some changes to detect videos even for your version.

Facepalm

Sorry about that... When I copy all the animation into ...\Heroes of Might and Magic II\Heroes2\Anim I have Intro: At least H2XINTRO.SMK probably because only this intro is supported.

However there is something wrong with "cutscenes" after starting a campaign... At first I have a corrupted image: After one\two second(s) everything seems to fine:

Tested on Win 7 x64. Tested x64_SDL1 and x64_SDL2 (0.8.4).

Hi @J013k , that's great! I pushed changes to support Anim path as well for your Gold version so in the future you won't need to manipulate directories.

J013k commented 3 years ago

Thank you.

I am not sure if I am getting retarded or somethings else...

But do you also have the same problems with cutscenes?

ihhub commented 3 years ago

No, we haven't experienced such issues with video playback. It might be that your version of the game has different video file standard or there's something wrong with palette switching in our game.

J013k commented 3 years ago

Thanks once again. Theoretically "my" version has got PL dubbing in FMVs\Cutscenes, but I'm not sure if there is an another video standard\codec involve in this.

Should I make an another "Issue" or for now leave it as it is?

ihhub commented 3 years ago

Hi @J013k please make another issue for video problem so we could track it in the future.
