Despite linking, missing briefing and sounds in vanilla coop

[ejopony]

Hi,

I'd like to play through the vanilla coop campaigns with a friend. Unfortunately, I can't get them to work correctly-- there's no video, no briefing, and the in-game communications have no sound.

Here's what I've done: install Supcom and Forged alliance (both through steam). Install FAForever, register, set FA path. Then on the "Coop Missions" tab I linked vanilla supcom (for me this is F:\SteamLibrary\SteamApps\common\Supreme Commander ). Create games (I've tried the UEF Vanilla Campaign 1st mission, the Cybran 1st mission, and the UEF second mission). After going through the lobby, it goes straight into the game-- there's no briefing video. The sounds from the in-game objectives are missing, though the "talky" picture-in-picture animation plays.

Is this normal? What have I done wrong? Is there a log where I can check if it's correctly finding the SupCom files?

I'd appreciate any help.

Edit: I found and attached the logs.

I see this:
debug: Preparing movie /movies/E01_Arnold_M01_0004.sfd: 1871
debug: Playing movie f:\steamlibrary\steamapps\common\supreme commander\movies\e01_arnold_m01_0004.sfd: 1946
warning: Error resolving bank 'E01_VO' to audio engine

which might explain the missing sounds, though not the root cause.

There are no briefings, only the missions themselves. And linking vanilla supcom is just for videos, not sounds.

Ah, okay. Thanks for the information. So the briefings haven't been ported-- that's fine and I should have expected it. I misremembered them as being videos. Are the missing sounds normal, too?

missing sounds are currently normal

Got it. Thanks again; much appreciated.
