When I start pathological in a terminal, I see the message "Cannot load music: music/intro.xm". The background-music (background.xm) which is in the same directory and has the same files is being played after starting a game though. I also tried to replace the intro.xm-file with the 10MB high-quality version from http://pathological.sourceforge.net/music.php (renaming it to intro.xm too), but that doesn't make a difference. I'm not sure if this is package-related or game-code-related, but it would be nice to have some intro-music.
added a warning to the pkg_postinst
(In reply to comment #1) > added a warning to the pkg_postinst You added a warning? I'm not sure if I understand you or you understood my problem with pathological, but so far - after updating portage and reinstalling pathological i can see no change. Still the intro-music does not play when launching the game and still i get the message "Cannot load music: music/intro.xm" when starting the game. Although the named file exists.
yes, you're missing the mikmod use flag on sdl-mixer.
No, I am not missing it. The sdl-mixer has the mikmod-useflag set on my system. And as already said the background-music (background.xm) plays nicely when you start a game. Just the intro-music (intro.xm), which I assume to be played in the menu, does not play.
You're right, but as far as I can tell it's not a bug in the ebuild so I'll take a patch or you can report it upstream.
