Description
This seems to be more an unimplemented feature than a bug, so I'm considering this a feature request. If necessary, please re-file the ticket as a defect.
Synopsis: When using the fan-made Russian translation patch, subtitles are missing in one particular case: in module 1100, where the sound "Klaymen, up here!" is heard. This is even mentioned in the official readme for the patch (ENG-READ.txt in the archive).
The patch in fact does contain a subtitle corresponding to the hash of the sound in question, but it appears that subtitles for sound effects are simply not implemented yet in the ScummVM Neverhood engine.
I have attempted some tinkering with the code myself, but without much success. Looks like the entire subtitle system might need some refactoring, and I'm not quite sure where to start on it.
I'm therefore creating this ticket in case someone else feels up to the task.
For easier testing, I'm attaching a save file made in the corresponding location. To trigger the sound, simply walk forward (skip the walking animation by pressing space).
