High quality music mod and upscaled videos mod don't seem to work.

[lavadrop]

Hi. I'm running your mod in Linux. I installed those two mods into the locations their readmes instruct to and modified ddraw.ini accordingly but neither work. My system has wavpack, libwavpack1, flac, libflac12, gstreamer-plugins-good and gstreamer-plugins-good-32bit packages installed. Setting the variable AllowDShowSound=0 plays the original music.

For music in formats other than .acm you need to set AllowDShowSound=1 Music file extensions must be { L"mp3", L"wma", L"wav" }; Everything else depends on the system and DShow

Thanks for your input. The variable is set to 1. I also tried 2. No difference, I only hear sound fx. I also downloaded your version of the music from your repository and tried it and it didn't work. I also tried installing DirectShow inside the wine prefix with winetricks and it didn't work.

Do you have set dll overrides?: WINEDLLOVERRIDES='ddraw.dll=n,b' wine fallout2.exe

I also downloaded your version of the music from your repository

wma and Linux are very poorly compatible

Does the music work if you don't have the mod installed? Are you sure the file path to the music folder in the fallout2.cfg file is correct?

Yes, both lutris and winecfg have ddraw.dll=n,b. F01in2 runs perfectly fine, but without music if I activate the "AllowDShowSound" variable. I have no issues playing the wma lossless files in mplayer, vlc, ffmplay, etc.

The music works fine if I set AllowDShowSound=0, it plays the low sample rate ACM files. This is the content of my fallout2.cfg file:

I think I found the solution. I installed gstreamer-plugins-bad-32bit gstreamer-plugins-good-extra gstreamer-plugins-good-extra-32bit HQ music is playing now, the flac version by BGforgeNet. If other linux users come looking for this, try all three versions of gstreamer plugins with their 32bit version.

Arrrghhh, spoke too soon. Now I have memory crashes... I guess this might be an sfall issue?

[egornovivan]

I have no issues playing the wma lossless files in mplayer, vlc, ffmplay, etc.

Well then wma will be preferable for the game, it has normalization ebur128. Versions from bgforge without normalization

I found the culprit of my issue: the lutris website has a script to install the game and the Fo1in2 mod in one go. Unfortunately the script sets up a 64 bit wine prefix and the gstreamer plugins complain of wrong architecture when running. Manually installing in a fresh prefix is the solution. If any other users are lost, do not install via the lutris script, you won't be able to use other mods that require 32-bit libraries.
