Game Oddities: Read This Before Reading The Report

Missing \ Broken Files

Do to a lack of testing by the developer, The game looks for or tries to run files that are broken or missing. Any error messages that ask for the following files can't be fixed and should be ignored.

File Name Error Cause
todd1.aif WARNING: Failed to open todd1! todd1.aif contains no audio data
You intro WARNING: Failed to open You intro! There are no files on the disk call "You intro" aka, its missing
Shared.cst findPath(): failed to resolve "Shared.cst" There are no files on the disk call "Shared" aka, its missing
SONG084.AIF WARNING: Failed to open SONG084.AIF! There are no files on the disk call "SONG084" aka, its missing
Rockettt.Aif WARNING: Failed to open Rockettt.Aif There are no files on the disk call "Rockettt", that said,
its not a missing file, At some point during development, they renamed it to "BIBLQUIZ.AIF" and didn't update the the storybook code for the final release. If you make a copy of "BIBLQUIZ.AIF", rename this copy to Rockettt.AIF and put it into the game folder, it will work perfectly fine.

The Report

General Issues

While no longer game breaking, the main menu are still broken and becomes unusable if your not careful where you put your mouse cursor. The best way to test this is to move your mouse over the buttons a few times, the more you do it, the more broken it gets. The games menu works well without the issues the main menu has.

Help Button Crash:

The help button in the puzzle game will crash the game if you click any of the text that pops up.

WARNING: BUILDBOT: Uncaught Lingo error: No match found for cast member! Builtin 'member' did not return value

Color Palette Issues

This is new to this version (or at the vary least, this is the first time I noticed this) The color palette is off, its looks washed out compared to running the game a VM or on x86Box


Incorrect Cursor icons

ScummVM is not loading the correct cursor icons and causing issues. The hit boxes in the "Dot to Dot" game for example are programmed for the cursor shown in the image below, these incorrect icons makes these already bad hit boxes even worse.

The photos below shows the game running in x86Box with the correct cursor icons

In the maze "hide and seek" game, the cursor is supposed to turn into a magnifying glass when place over a spot that can be searched but in ScummVM, the cursor either become invisible or turn into the hand icon. the maze also give this cursor related error.

WARNING: Cursor::readFromCast: Needs array of 2!


Activities

Storybook - Paul and the Bright Light

Works but has some UNK stub errors

Bible Quiz Show

Works

Discover The Bible

It mostly works but has three issues

  • It gives messages related to sound.
WARNING: SNDDecoder: Unsupported command: 0!
WARNING: Sound::load(): Invalid loop bounds detected. Disabling looping for cast member id 294, sndId 765!
  • Pressing the up or down scroll button will cause parts of the UI to disappear
WARNING: Sprite::getShape(): kCastMemberSprite has no cast defined!
WARNING: Sprite::getShape(): kCastMemberSprite has no cast defined!
  • If you click bible icon twice, the text will brake. the status window gives no error messages when this happens


Hall of Fame

Works but has some UNK stub errors

Bible-Time Theater

Works well, videos play without graphical issues.

Mini-Games

Matching Game:

It works well but the audio that plays when you finish the board is missing. ScummVM is not playing internal cast member 21 (the named of the cast is "cherring")

Maze:

It works well

Bible Memory:

Works with some errors, the second seems to be related to a graphical issue where a box (with text in it) leaves two noticeable pieces of itself on screen. While a minor issue in this game, there is a good chance that whatever is causing this effecting another game more severely

WARNING: Frame::readMainChannelsD5(): STUB: unk2: 0x00 0x01!
WARNING: b_puppetTransition: Transition already queued!


Dot to Dot:

The first "Dot to Dot" seems always work but the second one (after he says "that was fun, lets play again") will always have broken graphics (aka, the line that connects each dot together is missing)

Puzzles:

Works with a minor graphical issue on the puzzle selection menu, there is a thin white line that shouldn't be there.

Word Games:

Works

Looks like you were testing with ScummVM 2.8.x. If it is so, there were A LOT of changed in 2.9.0, which is in the making.
