GOB2: Date is wrong (WinXP)

Reported by: SF/clementxvii Owned by: DrMcCoy
Priority: normal Component: Engine: Gob
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Gobliins 2

Description

In Gob2 (DOS/CD 1.02), there is a menu that is able to display the current date. However, it seems that the month calculation is wrong: I started the game on Feb. 2nd, and the date shows 01/01/2007 (see attached screenshot).

ScummVM version: ScummVM 0.10.0svn (Feb 1 2007 21:50:15) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 zLib MPEG2 I haven't tried it with previous builds: I reinstalled ScummVM only today, and last time I checked (a few months back) my Gob2 version was not detected.

Reproducing the bug: Start ScummVM Launch Gob2 (DOS/CD 1.02) [didn't try it with other versions] From the "screw" menu, launch the "date" command Compare with current date

Game version: This is the CD version of Gob2 that was sold as part of the Sierra Originals package along with Gob1. When clicking on version information, it shows version 2.01 (ScummVM detects it as 1.02).

Ah, yes, the month in the struct returned by localtime() is in the range 0-11, which is off by one for normal display. Thanks, the SVN version / next daily build corrects that now.
