sigh the new #scummvm 2.70 fails to load my old Baphomets Fluch (sword1). Since it worked fine before, this seems like a regression introduced by the recent changes to the engine...

Read in the forum about blank spaces making troubles, but I don't have any. I use an extra path for music and speech, maybe this now ceased to work.

@scummvm ok, the plot thickens, I removed my old entries and tried to readd the game directory, now was says it's an unsupported version...

Nope, it was supported up to now. It's from the orginal Boxed German Edition. The only change was the downloadable DXAs from the scummvm website.

I will copy the files from the CD and see if works, but it's a mess.

@scummvm Ok, I downloaded the sources and checked the detection_tables.h. My German version is in the md5 hashes the only difference is it's checking against the videos in SMK.

I have the German DXAs from the official scummvm download section. Either this should be marked deprecated or it shouldn't check for the videos.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate all the excellent work the @scummvm folks put into their project, but this change seemed to be rushed.

@scummvm heh, ok, they seem to accept the english GOG version with DXAs, and overide the czech version while all the others have to be smks in the resp smackshi folder... sigh

I guess I'll have to patch it for my version, then.

@scummvm ok, I am lazy. I went to the attic, looked for the cardbox with my old adventure games, got both sword1 and sword2 and copied all original game data to the NAS. I had all audio in Flac before, but if they start to deprecate these as well, I thought it's better safe than sorry.

Ok, I have both version back working... One thing that stopped working too, is I could change the texts to english in my German install (read: German speech, english subtitles). This doesn't work anymore, either.

scummvm,

@Tionisla yes, this is expected. We changed the detection for Broken Sword, so only official releases are supported.

Previously, you could throw datafiles that looked somewhat related to the games which lead to various problems.

    @Tionisla as long as the original datafiles are present, it should work. However deleting original files will break the detection.

    @scummvm ok, FLACs not working was just because FreeBSDs scummvm wasn't compiled with flac-support. (Stupid me)

    Now, knowing this I even got the English Broken Sword from GOG completely working now.

    Oh, and I'm glad subtitle support for the intro video, etc is still there.

    scummvm,

    @Tionisla Awesome, thanks a lot for your feedback!
