Summary: crash when trying to fly back to SF after plane scene has been completedZAK: crash when trying to fly back to SF

I wonder if this only happens with the "Classic V1" version because I wasn't able to reproduce it with the "Enhanced V2" version. (I only have the V2 version myself.)

It did crash once at a different spot, but that was not reproducable (time to dig out Valgrind, i guess...), and when I reloaded a savegame I made on the plane the screen wasn't fully redrawn, but those are different bugs.

Is complete sequence really required, or it will crash if you

(a) save game right after buying ticket (b) load it (c) walk to gate

?

comment:4 by SF/sascha_silbe, 19 years ago

Yes, it does also happen if I save after buying the ticket. I've attached that savegame, too.

Might be worth looking at the Valgrind log I just attached to the other recent Zak McKracken bug report (#1252714).

What is the status of this item?

comment:7 by Kirben, 19 years ago

I can reproduce the bug in the original version of Zak McKracken.

The problem occurs during script 115: [0131] (9A) Var[52] = VAR_EGO; [0134] (42) startScript(120) [0136] (ED) putActorInRoom(Var[52],Var[44]) [0139] (81) putActor(Var[52],0,60) [013D] (91) animateActor(Var[52],249) [0140] (C0) endCutscene [0141] (9E) walkActorTo(Var[52],8,60) [0145] (62) stopScript(0)

The value of Var[52] is changed during endCutscene, as room 8 is loaded. The entry script of room 8 starts script 40, which changes the value of Var[52] to 249. So walkActorTo(() is called with an invalid actor number by script 115, after the room is loaded.

I assume the original doesn't crash in this situation, but just silently ignores the error? In that case, we could add a workaround to o2_walkActorTo in the source, as for other similar script bugs...

I.e. add a WORKAROUND comment pointing to this bug report, explaining the situation, and which allows actor 249 in this script and game...

This crash does not happen in DOS.

Thats the only help I can give here I'm afraid.

Regards.

I added work around to ScummVM CVS for now.

A workaround is the best we can do for this script bug.
