SIMON1: Lockup with enhanced Music Tracks
| Reported by: | (none) | Owned by: | Kirben |

Description
ScummVM 0.10.0svn (Mar 12 2007 08:30:39) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 zLib MPEG2
With the new enhanced tracks installed (same dir where the other Simon datafiles reside) and the Audio output (Edit Game menu) changed to 44kHz i get a lockup of ScummVM's window/screen as soon as the music playback ought to be started.
:-( I wanna play the game with those incredible tracks :-(
Log attached, hopefully useable (i can do a -d9 log, too, if needed)
Simon the Sorcerer (English/Windows/CD)
Amiga OS4 gcc version 4.0.2 (AmigaOS build 20051012)

Tried to run Simon1 under winxp sp2 with the latest SVN version of ScummVM and everything works here. Tried changing the audio sample rate to "default" and "44kHz" and it worked under both cases

...oh and of course I forgot to say that I've placed all the .ogg files of the ScummVM MIDI enhancement project in the game's directory
I've got Simon1's audio compressed into MP3 and both audio output works fine (speech and sfx is in mp3 and the music is in ogg)

>I've placed all the .ogg files of the ScummVM MIDI enhancement project in the game's directory
Did that too, and as you can see in my log the first track (track08.ogg) is opened, but then it seems to get stuck in a strange loop, repeating some steps over and over again, finally locking up.

Why did you mention the 44kHz, i wonder -- do you mean to say that it works fine if you use a different sampling rate?
Does audio CD support work in other ScummVM games (if you have any, like the CD version of Monkey Island or of Loom) ?
And do I understand it correctly that you never hear any of the music?

I mentioned it because it's one of the steps one should take when installing the enhanced tracks...taken from James page:
Instructions
These instructions assume you have already installed the game and are ready to install the soundtrack. For further assistance, please check out The Hitchhiker's Guide to setting up ScummVM.
o Download the soundtrack Download the full soundtrack (do not use right click, only left!) o Extract the soundtrack Extract the soundtrack from the compressed *.zip file and place in the root folder of the game installation on the hard drive o Starting the game Start the ScummVM program and select Simon the Sorcerer. Now select [Edit Game?], switch to Audio tab and set Sample Rate to 44 kHz.
Now you can enjoy Simon the Sorcerer with my enhanced soundtrack!
> Does audio CD support work in other ScummVM games (if you > have any, like the CD version of Monkey Island or of Loom)?
Despite what i wrote on IRC earlier, it works with every other game that has .ogg encoded tracks here (MI1, Loom)
> And do I understand it correctly that you never hear any > of the music?
You understand it right, i get a black screen/window and it stays there, no music/sound effects, nothing is played, just plain silence.

Assigning to kirben, as he wrote that code (I know little to nothing about this "enhancement" project).

Unassigning as this seems like an Amiga specific issue, I can't reproduce the issue under Windows XP SP2 either.
The AGOS engine simply uses AudioCD manager to start music, stop music and check status of music. So I expect the problem is deeper in the sound code of ScummVM.
Each debug level in the AGOS engine provide a different type of debug output, level 5 simply dumps the complete video script of each animation, as it is used. You could try logs of debug level 2 (Script opcodes) and debug level 3 (Video opcodes), but I doubt they will provide more help.
Do you use vorbis compressed audio tracks for any other game(s) in ScummVM? and if yes, do they show any similar problems? that would be best way to check if issue is in the sound cde.

Did it anyway

Yes, i do, see my last post, i have Monkey Island 1, Loom and ZakMcKracken running flawless with vorbis encodes sound files.
What else could i do to provide some information? File Added: simon1-d3.log

Just to be sure, does Simon the Sorcerer 1 works fine, if you remove the enhanced music tracks?
The script opcodes seems to stop, after music is played and where video script should be starting. If you enable fast mode (Ctrl F) and waiting awhile, is the any visual difference? or any wait timeouts in console?

Yes, all back to normal

Nothing, just as before, everything black, nothing moving, silence

Looking at the code for the music enh project support, I see some special cases triggered when the platform is Amiga:
190 + } else if (getPlatform() == Common::kPlatformAmiga) { 191 + loadModule(music);
and
228 + if (getPlatform() == Common::kPlatformAmiga) { 229 + loadModule(music);
Perhaps you're trying to load music twice? loadModule stops the currently playing track too, could that be it?
Also, there's this bit: 185 + if (AudioCD.isPlaying()) 186 + return;
Perhaps it's stuck there waiting for something?
Just my 2c from a quick glance at the code
comment:16 by , 17 years ago
Don't confuse the Amiga version of games, and running ScummVM on an Amiga system.
190 + } else if (getPlatform() == Common::kPlatformAmiga) { 191 + loadModule(music);
Simon the Sorcerer 1 specific code, which loads mods on the Amiga versions of the game.
228 + if (getPlatform() == Common::kPlatformAmiga) { 229 + loadModule(music);
Elivra 1/2 and Waxworks specific code, which loads mods on the Amiga versions of the games.
185 + if (AudioCD.isPlaying()) 186 + return;
If the enhanced music tracks are been played, the function returns early. So it doesn't attempt to start playing mods (Amiga versions) or MIDI music (Other versions) too.

I got it wrong sorry :( Well, have to read the code more carefully next time :)
comment:18 by , 17 years ago
Sorry if i bore everyone again, but
the approx. 171MB SIMON.WAV file is the one that holds the original music tracks, doesn't it?
It's loaded *before* the soundeffects SFX files, the new enhanced tracks are loaded *after* the sound effects, maybe they get in their way somehow (audio task stuck -> scummvm stuck?
Also, do i still need the .WAV file installed, if i have the enhanced tracks (given my assumption from above is correct)?

Is there anything else i could test with my limited knowledge of C++ and coding without stealing your time?
Thank you

Did some more tests and it runs (kind of).
If i remove track08.ogg from the Simon dir and play the game it loads in the next enhanced track and plays it fine (e.g. track16.ogg in the pub.
So, it seems it's just the first instance of playing the tracks.
Oddest thing at all, if i enter the pub (without track08.ogg) copy back track08.ogg to simon dir and leave the pub the new track is played quite well. :-?
So it's another of that "Huh, that couldn't be" errors! :-/
Still get a lockup when starting with track08 in place :-(
comment:20 by , 17 years ago
Another test:
If i open debugger (CTRL-F) right after the start of Simon1 and before the lockup i can play every enhanced track with the "music x" command, the dirst one which refuses to run when the game starts play nicely, too.
Exiting the debugger locks up at the same place, though.
any ideas? please?
comment:21 by , 17 years ago
Maybe yet another Amiga specific bug...
Or maybe a flag (e.g. a loop flag?) is not initialized properly. Maybe running Valgrind will turn up something useful (when used in a similar scenario, i.e. with Simon + Enhanced Ogg tracks).
comment:23 by , 17 years ago
Major breakthrough -t's ALIVE again!!! :-)
One of the magicians changed something from yesterday (~rev. 27070) upto today (rev. 27100) and now everythings back to normal. Running with the beautiful updated music tracks.
Thanks to all involved :-)
