Duke4.net Forums: With the latest Eduke32 the intro video IVF has no sounds - Duke4.net Forums

And the error is.

Error: expected a hardcoded anim file name (sans extension) on line vidclips.def:8

The video plays but doesn't have any sounds.

Code in the vid file is
animsounds logo { 1 469 }

Works fine with older Eduke32 (somewhere in 2015) but not new 1ne.

I've tried doing
animsounds logo.ivf { 1 469 }
animsounds logo.anm { 1 469 }

No avail

Whole log incase you need.

One of the many unfixed known bugs and shortcomings, reported here. Temporary workaround : remove the extension from the actual IVF file in your CWD.

I remember another bug where in multiplayer on the network or something the host would die at game start. I am not sure if that was fixed or not also that Duke3d.rts file I get that error as well. I am looking for it just to get it to shut up.

LeoD, on 25 January 2016 - 10:49 AM, said:

The error message is just wrong. The token is supposed to have the extension, like this:

animsounds    logo.anm  { 1        244      64        14 }

The error message is right. It reflects the wrongfully implemented behaviour I've described in the linked thread.

TerminX, on 27 January 2016 - 02:20 AM, said:

The error message used to be right, but in r4987 you redefined how animsounds takes a name and broke all existing mods that use it. I haven't yet gotten around to adding support for the original method because I observed some refactoring that needed to take place first.

Yes, and I forgot to correct the error message at that time. That was almost a year ago. If this is the extent of the complaints about the breakage after that amount of time, I have to assume very few mods in the wild were ever using the previous syntax. You can throw something in to check if there's an extension present in the anim filename and tack ".anm" on if not, but it's barely worth the effort.

A once working feature is broken! (Unless you remove the IVF extension from the file name on disk. Example) Fix it.
Starting with r4496 more bugs than features have been introduced. Since then I can't remember any code revision without known bugs or regressions. I'd really prefer the code getting stabilized over having new features added.
I've put together a list of bookmarks (here, in spoiler tags) with more issues which haven't yet been worth anyone's effort either.

r5623 fixes the issue, but leaves one DEF parser error message eduke32.log.
( r5624-5625 bail out with assertion messages. )
r5626, however, breaks the sound again with a new DEF parser error message.

Btw.,
1) The DEF lines are still miscounted by one.
2) Is duke3d.def parsed twice? (Because the error message is doubled.)

Are synthesis builds lagging behind more than usual? The latest one available is 5617.

Seems it's working now... r5628 is up...

They're probably working on those last two posts I made in the eduke32 thread

Sound issue fixed as of r5628. Thanks.
