FOTAQ: DC: Can't Navigate Pointer in Journal Menu

Reported by: SF/metafox Owned by: cyxx
Priority: normal Component: Engine: Queen
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Flight of the Amazon Queen

Description

In the 24-08-2004 CVS build for Dreamcast, when viewing the journal in Flight of the Amazon Queen to load or save a game, the mouse pointer freezes.

You can navigate the menu by pressing the mouse button or the A key on the controller, then moving the cursor, then repeating. If you just try to move the cursor on it's own, it doesn't show it's position on the screen.

I suspect the main loop in Journal not doing all what's needed for the Dreamcast port. As I am not familiar with this backend ; Marcus, can you look at journal.cpp lines 65-84 and see if you notice something wrong ?

Ok, I have an idea. I suppose that, contrary to the SDL backend, in order to the refresh the new pointer position on the screen, you have to call OSystem::updateScreen()...

I just added a call to it in Journal. Can someone test if the problem is still there ?

I haven't tested the new code, but I can confirm that you do need to call updateScreen() for the mouse pointer to be redrawn. poll_event() will just update the internal position variables.

So, is the problem still there ?
