[FF8] override_path not working for FMVs #732

Closed AxlRose-RX closed 1 month ago

AxlRose-RX commented 1 month ago
          > @AxlRose-RX for the second request, you can make use of the [`override_path`](https://github.com/julianxhokaxhiu/FFNx/blob/master/misc/FFNx.toml#L489-L491) which was made to fill exactly that gap. Feel free to test it.

The first request, worked, FMVs are loading now with the right names on PC2000

override_path = "axl" doesn't work on PC2000 and Steam FF8

added a folder with movies as: C:\Square\FF8\axl\movies

and at the same time: C:\Square\FF8\axl\Data\movies

Fix now available, look forward to the next canary.

If you enable trace_files you will get this in the log which should tell you what and where it is looking for:

[00000001] TRACE: Redirection attempted, but file was not found: data/movies/disc04_00h.avi -> c:\games\final fantasy viii\override\data/movies/disc04_00h.avi
[00000001] TRACE: Redirection attempted, but file was not found: data/movies/disc04_00.cam -> c:\games\final fantasy viii\override\data/movies/disc04_00.cam
[00000001] ERROR: prepare_movie: couldn't open movie file: c:\games\final fantasy viii/data/movies/disc04_00h.avi

Hope it helps :) Let us know, cheers!
