TWINE: A couple of glitches from using the holomap

[antoniou79]

This is with ScummVM 2.9.0git built from master HEAD on Windows, with the English version of LBA from GOG.

I've been playing through the game and noticed that if I am using the holomap in an area where there are NPCs patroling (soldiers or civilians / workers) then after exiting the holomap, the NPCs may display glitched behavior.

This is not consistently reproducible.

The most noteworthy glitches were:

1. A soldier was patroling near Twinsen in the starting island. After using the holomap, the soldier slided quickly as if in fast-forward for a long distance (and out of his normal patroling area) into a stack of trees nearby.
2. Within the tavern(?) in Principal Island, after using the holomap, the waiter was teleported outside the "map" and kept looping his falling-from-a-height animation.

I've only a screenshot from the second glitch though to attach.

I forgot to clarify that I'm playing in the High resolution mode.

maybe some missing freezeTime()/unfreezeTime() calls (see ScopedEngineFreeze) in the holomap code...

debugger commands to reproduce it and limit the actors to the glitching one

scene_actor 2
change_scene 14
give_allitems

activate holomap - wait a little - disable holomap

Attached a video - it looks like the last position of the actor is not correct anymore and we are trying to lerp some random position against the last position before entering the holomap. If the random position is outside of the map, the actor might completely disappear and you would have to re-enter the scene to let it appear again.

should be fixed in master now (and is cherry-picked for a potential 2.8.1)

Thank you for the fix!

I've used the holomap a few times on a new local development build of ScummVM 2.9.0git and indeed I did not get the fast-sliding NPCs.
