Savegame in Prision

I wanted to add 2 things: 1. This might be release critical in my opinion, because it makes the game uncompleteable. (There is of course the workaround of giving Annie the lighter before being captured is there) 2. If someone has an english savegame, please send it to me, so that I can attach it.

Zak can't walk around in his cell either, so this seems to be yet another case of walkbox/walk problems.

comment:4 by SF/weaselp, 20 years ago

Do you still need an english savegame? If yes, I could provide one, just having run into the same problem.

Raising priority. This is a release-critical bug.

Taking a look.

roomobj-18-371.dmp.txt seems to run on trying to give the savegame. At first glance, however, all walkbox checks in this script function fine.

Basically, it seems to run as: if (givingTo == Annie) { walkActorTo(Annie, Zak.X, 49); waitForActor(Annie); doSentence(3,VAR_ACTIVE_OBJECT1,2,0) }

I'm not sure exactly why the doSentence line isn't transferring ownership, yet.

English save before getting stuck (simply 'take flag') attached, as well as the script I mentioned.

So, is it still fixable before release? If not, please, lower the priority.

comment:11 by SF/ender, 18 years ago

I haven't yet found a fix yet, although all versions of Zak follow pretty much the same code here. But I'm not very familiar with the sentence code, so lowering priority.

Fixed in Subversion, next daily build should have the fix.
