Description
This bug was introduced shortly. After starting MI1VGA (german) the black color is shown blue at least on the copy protection screens. The font should be outlined black and the faces doesn't contain any black color anymore.
Last version without bug I have: ScummVM 0.2.82 CVS Built on Nov 28 2002 17:54:41
First one with bug: ScummVM 0.3.0 Built on Dec 2 2002 17:27:20

It is the o5_roomOps (if I uncomment the change to copyPalColor it works). Which is a bit weird, need to look more into this.

Hmm... Maybe it should be copyPalColor(b, a) instead of copyPalColor(a, b)? Though that makes the background colour black for the copy protection screen, and I have no idea what it would do to Zak256.
Unfortunately the original interpreter doesn't show the copy protection screen at all (because it was part of a collection that didn't include the Dial-A-Pirate wheel), so I can't check what it should look like.
Either way we could remove the checkRange() call, since copyPalColor() checks its parameters, and probably the _fullRedraw = 1 line as well.

I don't really think that (b,a) makes any more sense, esp. since as you noticed, this would turn the screen background black. Rather I fear our whole implementation there might be wrong. At the start of MonkeyVGA, this call is made (in the current notation, so (a,b)): copyPalColor(0, 1) Then on the screen with the pirates, this one: copyPalColor(1, 1) Obviously that doesn't make sense. Hence I am 99% certain our implementation is still wrong. Two guesses: 1) We are reading the params completly wrong (but I doubt that, I don't think the script would run correctly then)
2) My original thought about this is right after all (I discussed this opcode with endy maybe 5-6 month ago): what is happening here is that in SMALL_HEADER games, the "palette" is not a map from index to RBG; rather, it is a map from an index to the HW palette! In this situation, a call like above with (1,1) would actually make sense: it would mean "revert index 1 to point to its default value again".
I must admit that 2) is half a guess, half based on some disassmbly I am not sure I interpret correctly... this needs more investigation.

Hmm... I am, again, tempted to guess on _shadowPalette[] because in GF_SMALL_HEADER games updatePalette() uses that one to remap colours, i.e. it has almost the same effect as copyPalColor(). (This is what we use to implement the animation of the Great Loom in LoomCD.)
But I don't have anything at all to back this up, and besides it would make the "room color" and "set palette color" cases almost identical, which doesn't make much sense either.

I checked in a "fix". Now the monkeyvga will have initiall a black background, but the moment the pirate face is shown, it switches back to a blue background. Can somebody check how it looks in the original?
comment:7 by , 21 years ago
I tried latest cvs and it seems that this bug is fixed now. There is no black background at the beginning (the "history quiz and press enter"-screens are blue like the original were).

I'll try to look into this one later tonight.
Off-hand I can only remember two recent changes that would affect colours: The setPaletteFromPtr() change and the o5_roomOps case 2 ("room color") one.
The former was made specifically for MonkeyVGA, and should only affect near-white colours anyway, while the latter was made for Zak256.
