SWORD2: Polish version 2nd CD not detected

[ArnoldLayne0216]

Hi,

As a reference to ticket #16449, the games has been recognised now, but after finishing quaramonte, during the boat scene cd2 is being asked for and the game does not continue automatically

All the files were copied from original cds.

Would you be able to help with that?

[ArnoldLayne0216]

do you have any update on this matter? thanks!

[antoniou79]

Can you please attach a saved game from a point just before this happens?

[ArnoldLayne0216]

just attached, thanks for looking into this

[antoniou79]

Could you please run ScummVM at debug level 5 and post here the ScummVM log file?

You can set the debug level from command line or from the ScummVM launcher from "Global Options" -> "Misc" -> "Debug Level" (set to 5) -> "Ok".

Run the game until it asks for the CD, then quit, and attach the ScummVM log here.

See here for the (default) location of scummvm.log depending on your system:
​https://docs.scummvm.org/en/latest/help/report_bugs.html#the-scummvm-log-file

(Do not run ScummVM again before attaching scummvm.log here, because it would recreate the log file, and it will be useless to us then).

I did all the steps you provided a few times, but there was no file generated. I also noticed that the debugger keeps setting off after relaunching.

From my perspective, there is no real bug, but just the software not recognising CD2 from my files.

Since we were adding recognition to my version of BS2 earlier (in the mentioned report #16449), could it be similar problem here? my files not being recognised by SCUMMVM as proper cd2 files?

[antoniou79]

We need the log file, because the engine tries to load a specific file and fails.

The location of the log file should also appear from the ScummVM launcher under Global Options -> Paths at the line that starts with "ScummVM log path: ".

But you can also VIEW the file from there.

So you could try this:

• Set the debug level to 5 (From Global Options -> Misc -> Debug level -> 5 - > ok)
• Launch and play the game until it asks for the CD
• Return to launcher (bring up the ScummVM menu) and click on the "Return to Launcher" button.
• Go to Global Options -> Paths -> Click on the "View" button. Scroll to the bottom of the file (if it's more than one page), then screenshot the last page of it and attach it here.

[ArnoldLayne0216]

Unfortunately, after hitting 'return to launcher' the game and ScummVM quits completely.

Also I can't seem to find the ScummVM.log file, even when trying to search the whole hard drive via finder.

Any other tips you might have for this?

See ​https://docs.scummvm.org/en/v2026.1.0/help/report_bugs.html#the-scummvm-log-file for information on where the log file can be found on different systems.

Your mention of "finder" in the last message makes me think you are on macOS. In that case typing (or pasting) the following command in a Terminal.app window will open the log file in a text editor (where you can then copy the content).

open ~/Library/Logs/scummvm.log

Note that the log file is cleared every time you restart ScummVM, so do this just after the issue occurs, and before you start ScummVM again.

I managed to get the fina via finder, thanks to your tip. There it goes:

Are you missing a "jungle.clu" file in your game data folder?

You'll need to copy it there too from your CDs (it's probably on the second CD).

[antoniou79]

The log indicates that you're missing the "jungle.clu" file in your game data folder.

But also, going through your provided screenshots in the previous (now fixed/closed) ticket, and comparing side by side to my GOG installation of the game, you seem to be potentially missing other clu files as well:

• Carib1.clu
• Carib2.clu
• Carib3.clu
• Jungle.clu
• Pyramid1.clu
• Pyramid2.clu

And these smk files (based on the dxa files I'm seeing on GOG's installation):

• carib.smk
• finale.smk
• Guard.smk
• jungle.smk
• Museum.smk
• pyramid.smk
• sailing.smk
• shaman.smk
• stone2.smk
• stone3.smk

Indeed, my files from the 2nd cd were missing!

Apologies for confusing everyone, now it's properly working!

Thank you!
