#15027 new defect

SCUMM: INDY3 (FMTowns): Map lines are drawn incorrectly, plus more issues when leaving Germany

Reported by: ATMcashpoint Owned by:
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: ATMcashpoint Game: Indiana Jones 3

Description

In the FM Towns version of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, in the original interpreter (both in DREAMM and the UNZ FM Towns interpreter), the red lines on the map screens draw an extra pixel downward and an extra pixel on the right as they go compared to the DOS versions. But ScummVM draws the red lines the same way as it does for DOS.

There are also additional errors with the map screen when leaving Germany. At this point, the game blacks out the Nazi swastika on the flag marking Berlin, and also turns the gray outer parts of the country borders solid black. In ScummVM, when the red line passes over the enlarged black borders, the new black areas disappear right where it passes, revealing sections of the original gray underneath. Also, if you pause the game on the map screen, the added black areas disappear entirely. Neither error is present in the original.

That the borders and flag are overlaid with black is, as far as I know, an error in the FM-Towns version. Since pausing the game makes that go away temporarily, maybe this can be fixed to get rid of the black overlay fully? After all, I see no reason to replicate a behavior that clearly is a bug.

We strive to replicate the original as closely as reasonably achievable, so we will not discard the thing as an original bug and move on. I don't understand your general judgment of what is "clearly" a bug or not, I have to be honest 😛 because this looks like a deliberate choice by the programmers to me, and not some kind of limitation.

OK, if that's the philosophy, I won't argue with you.
