Cataclysm DDA dont work with "Catasounds" pack

[aaferrari]

Thanks to this overlay few days ago I was able to install this game and since then I liking it a lot. It turns out that doing a little research I found a package of sounds that can be used with Cataclysm (some videos as demonstration) but at start a game, I get the following:

DEBUG: Error loading data from json: 
/usr/share/games/cataclysm-dda/json//soundset.json: line 2:5: unrecognized JSON 
object, type: "sound_effect"
  Press spacebar...

After I get messages of this type again and again

DEBUG: Can't find t_dirtmound 
  Press spacebar...

Thus it become unplayable. According to the forum, just enough with unpack everything in the data folder of the program (/usr/share/games/cataclysm-dda/) but does not work in my case. I do not know whether to make any further process for that this package work with the version of Linux but if it helps anything, these are the USE flags that I have enabled:

 * Found these USE flags for games-roguelike/cataclysm-dda-0.9c-r2:
 U I
 - - clang   : Build with clang++ rather than g++ (experimental!)
 - - lua     : Enable Lua scripting support (e.g., for modding)
 + + ncurses : Install ncurses-based terminal executable (recommended)
 + + nls     : Add Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale utilities)
 + + sdl     : Install SDL-based X11 executable (recommended)
 + + sound   : Enable SDL-based sound support

Thank you for the super-detailed bug report! That was incredibly helpful. And... I'm totally sorry it failed for you. This is unacceptable, so I'll see what I can cobble together over the next few days.

Superficially, I note that a possibly dead Catasounds GitHub repository exists. Assuming that repository is up-to-date with the most recently released version of Catasounds, the thing to do will probably be to:

1. Add a new games-roguelike/cataclysm-dda-catasounds ebuild tracking that repository.
2. Add a new catasounds USE flag to the existing games-roguelike/cataclysm-dda ebuild that, when enabled, pulls in that ebuild as a runtime dependency and properly integrates that dependency with the currently installed version of C:DDA.

The plot thickens. According to this forum post, Catasounds requires that you first:

1) Download and unpack latest experimental build from here: http://dev.narc.ro/cataclysm/jenkins-latest/Windows/Tiles/

From your excellent bug report, I gather you're currently running the latest stable build (0.9.c). If the above installation instructions are accurate, you probably need to run the unstable build (9999) instead. To do so:

1. Hard-unmask cataclysm-dda-9999 by adding the following line to /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords:

   >=games-roguelike/cataclysm-dda-0.9a **

2. Reinstall cataclysm-dda:

   emerge cataclysm-dda

3. Manually reinstall Catasounds.

Would you mind giving that a shot?

With half-hearted apologies, I'm inclined to close this issue – which doesn't appear to be an ebuild issue.

Thanks for all the detailed fish, aaferrari. :fishing_pole_and_fish:
