Topic: Hrm. Sound problems on OSX. (Read 2141 times)

Okay, I grabbed 0.3 for OS X and downloaded the .zip files for music, sounds and voices. Fire it up, and, sure enough, there's music and sound. I start up a new game and get accosted by an Ur-Quan probe. No voice.
Hmm.
Go to Earth's station, same problem. The voice .zip file is in the content folder, so that's good. I have no idea why it doesn't work.
Do any of you?

Works fine over here 
The file /tmp/uqm.out should have a complete log of everything it tried to do while playing the game. Does it say anything interesting about what it tried to do when loading the speech Oggs?
Also, as a defensive measure, head over here and pick up the latest CVS build and launcher -- A number of crash bugs with the OSX version have been fixed and I think it's well worth getting (but I'm biased  )

I installed the CVS and launcher, to no avail. I can't find the file you specified -- a search for anything containing the word "uqm" turned up four items, none of which ended in ".out" or were contained with a tmp directory. Can you give me more detailed instructions on how to find it?
Thanks.

In the Finder, click on Go -> Go To Folder, and enter "/tmp" in the dialog box. In the window that appears, there should be a file named "uqm.out", it's a text file and will open with TextEdit, SimpleText, etc.

Aha. Thanks.
Well, here's the output that seems relevant:
Error: Zip file corrupt; could not find 'end-of-central-directory record'.
Warning: Could not mount 'uqm-0.3-3domusic.zip': Input/output error.
Error: Zip file corrupt; could not find 'end-of-central-directory record'.
Warning: Could not mount 'uqm-0.3-voice.zip': Input/output error.
I couldn't find any other errors at all, and nothing else pertinent to the voice/music. Any ideas? Did the downloads get corrupted?

It seems likely based on what you've reported so far. Two easy ways to check:- Try unpacking the Zip file with StuffIt Expander, if it works then it's likely OK.
- Open the Terminal (in Applications:Utilities), type "md5sum thefile.zip", where "thefile.zip" is the pathname to the Zip file (you can drop the file on the Terminal window to get this automagically filled-in) Then compare the resulting number with the one on the downloads page
If I were a betting man (and I am) I'd wager that the music file has gone sour; try downloading a fresh copy and see if it correct the problem.

Attempting the Terminal option first, it gave me a "md5sum: command not found" error, and when I attempted to de-zip it, it gave me an error claiming that it couldn't unarchive the .zip file to my desktop.
I'm betting that you're correct in your diagnosis. I'll download a fresh copy and try it tomorrow.
Thanks for all your help.
