Hey guys
i just got the game The neverhood and wanted to play it on scummvm 1.8.1

i just keep getting an error op that scumm cant find the neverhood.dat file and its in there so i got this error:


StaticData::Load() Could not open neverhood.dat!

how can i fix this and play this game?

@klapdeur

1) Open ScummVM
2) Click on "Options..."
3) Browse the tabs to get to "Paths"

See what path there is under "Extras"

The .dat files have to either be in this extras path or in the games main dir (but i don't know if that still applies)

Furthermore, what size does your neverhood.dat have?

The latest has 23.804 bytes and is dated 27th of May 2016 and should have been part of the 1.8.1 release

@Raziel

Thanks raziel
Its working now.
It has been long ago that i used scummvm.

By the way is it in future possible to use opengl druver with scummvm?

In combi with daniel wrapper ?

@klapdeur

OpenGL is already working, albeit the difference in speed is marginal and not really visible.
(Go to Options, Graphics tab, Graphics mode and choose "OpenGL")

There are talks about a new Graphics mode that would use shaders, so yes, *if* that is implemented and *if* i ever choose to pay for the NOVA stuff it might be possible to get a graphics mode that actually speeds up drawing

@Raziel

ok thnx for the info
keep up the good work i love scummvm

Check if the 'neverhood.dat' file is in your ScummVM installation directory, specifically under '\Scummvm\Data'. If not present there or corrupted, you may need to download a fresh copy from an official source and place it correctly within that folder. Ensure no typos when specifying its location during the loading process.
