Can't get the source port to start

i've followed the instructions in the read me, move these 3 files to where i have PCExhumed

STUFF.DAT
DEMO.VCR
BOOK.MOV

but there is no Book.Mov with the Gog version.

It's in "game.gog", you can open it in 7-zip if you use that program. For some reason GOG likes to rename .iso files to .gog

EDIT: *Just remembered that I installed the following plugin for 7-zip a long time ago. That's likely the reason I can access it and you can't.

All i get is a black window that opens and closes very quickly.

You've installed 7-zip and right clicked on game.gog and chosen "7-Zip" ->"open archive"?
Then not sure what's going on, it should open as seen in this included image.

May have to google for a different way of opening it. Or try the BuildGDX port. It will run without BOOK.MOV, just won't have movies obviously.

Before i was doing it inside of 7-zip

Just tried the above way and i get a error message "Can not open file 'C:\GOG Games\Powerslave\game.gog as a archive


there's also issues with BuildGDX too and i am running the latest version, Lots of Java related error's.

Just to be sure, you can launch the included GOG "Launch Powerslave" shortcut and play the game correct? If not you may need to verify/repair.

As far as BuildGDX goes, I understand there's 2 versions. A Windows 10 64bit build that uses an included Java and the other that needs Java externally. Have you tried updating java if you're using the external version?

If that doesn't work or you don't want to use it, then here's another way of getting book.mov.
In the Powerslave folder make a copy of "dosbox_powerslave_single.conf". (You'll need the copy to restore after)
In the original replace the contents (using notepad) with the following below: Run the "Launch Powerslave" shortcut, then delete this "dosbox_powerslave_single.conf" and restore your original copy

Yes, I can launch the game the normal way

checking on Java updates now.


Update...I'm fully updated with Java and i'm still getting errors with BuildGDX, it only happens with Powerslave too.

1) Run and install https://wincdemu.sysprogs.org/portable/

2) Drag Game.GOG into WinCDEmu's window and mount the file.

3) On your PC / laptop, double-click on the "This PC" icon and you will see Powerslave mounted as a drive.

4) Open that new drive, find BOOK.MOV and copy it into your PCExhumed installation folder.

5) Back in CDEmu, unmount GAME.GOG.

I got it working, Decided to use BuildGDX with the game.

Either way, glad to hear you got it working in a sourceport of your choice.
