SCUMM: LOOM (not VGA): Bobbin walks in front of the sheep for a split second

Reported by: eriktorbjorn Owned by: athrxx
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Loom

Description (last modified by eriktorbjorn)

This may be a regression. When I click on the sheep in Loom, Bobbin walks in front of them for a split second as seen in the attached screenshot. (I had to use a screen recorder to capture it, and then make a screenshot from the resulting movie. Blink and you missed it!)

I've also attached savegames from the EGA, Macintosh, TurboGrafx-16 and FM Towns version. Walk left, then click on the sheep or the shepherd to reproduce the glitch. I assume it also happens in the Amiga and Atari ST versions, but I don't have them.

I have not been able to reproduce it glitch in the VGA version. Perhaps not surprising, since it uses a different version of the SCUMM engine.

I have now verified that the bug does not happen when running the EGA version in DOSBox. I have attached my savegames and list of drafts discovered so far.

For completeness, I've attached savegames from the VGA CD and Steam versions as well. As I said, I can't reproduce the bug there but I figured they might still be useful for comparison.

I have made a fix. Please check whether this solves the issue for you.

Seems to work with all versions I could test. For an encore, I went through the dragon caves (since that's the part that seems most susceptible to walking problems, and used to be a bit awkward in older versions of ScummVM) without noticing any issues.

Thanks for testing. I have tested some Indy 3 scenes that are known to be demanding regarding the walk code quality (abduction by Donovan's men, Hitler scene, Berlin airport) and they still work fine, too. I'll close this...
