Attaching a savegame to reproduce this would be useful (assuming you can still reproduce the issue with latest CVS).

I have attached a game from V1 zak, where problem also occurs. Just drop Blue Crystal in slot and run to bus stop.

I wonder what happens in the original here? Can you "run away" there, too? Or is Zak maybe meant to be immobile? If you can run away, what does happen?

Yes Zak can run back to bus stop in the original game and the same scene occurs but Annie walks along the footpath correctly. I checked the original version of Zak McKracken (Enchanced).

The problem here is that the walk matrix is foobar, and confuses our walk algorithm. V1/V2 apparently employ a different (simpler & cruder) algorithm. I'll look into implementing that one.

If you want to know a bit more details: When Annie enters the room, she is in box 8, and tries to get to box 5. Problem is, the walk matrix claims that box 8 and 5 are adjacent. They are not (and indeed, if you do a reverse lookup, it tells you that to get from 5 to 8, you have to go via box 10, which is correct).

Due to the simplistic algorithm in V1/V2, the problem wasn't noticed.
