SIMON2: Cannot load savegame, also in CD DOS?

Reported by: SF/mikeyco Owned by: Kirben
Priority: normal Component: Engine: AGOS
Version: Keywords: script
Cc: Game: Simon the Sorcerer 2

Description

ScummVM 0.12.0 (Aug 29 2008 11:01:26) - Win32 build Simon the Sorcerer 2 (CD/DOS/English)

It's actually the same problem as the one here. http://sourceforge.net/tracker2/index.php?func=detail&aid=1555117&group_id=37116&atid=418820

Based on the kirben's comments, this bug wasn't supposed to exist in the CD version. However, the same thing happened to me after I saved at the dungeon while Simon was still dizzy and closed ScummVM. When I tried to load my savegame, the game won't load (cursor disappears, but animation and music continues). Any ideas?

I'm unable to reproduce the issue, in the English DOS CD version. We have two separate entries for the English DOS version though, so it is possible there is a script difference between the two versions.

Could you please start ScummVM via command line (Command Prompt or MS-DOS Prompt), and redirect the output to a file, ie: scummvm simon2 > simon2.txt

Press 'Ctrl u' to dump all scripts, wait a few minutes and quit ScummVM. Then attached the file (ie simon2.txt) to this bug report.

Script dump.

Alright. Script dump has been uploaded. The file has been compressed because it's larger than the file size limit for uploads. Also, during the script dump, this message came up at the console: "derefItem: invalid item 28525!"

The script output for script 12101, shows that script bug occurs in this DOS CD version too. So I altered the work around for that script bug, to apply to all versions of the game.

Use the next snapshot of ScummVM SVN.
