Description

Latest Daily Win64 QFG1 VGA

While testing the fix for bug 3585793 (well done M. Kiewitz btw!) I found another path-finding bug that hangs the game. This bug looks similar to bugs 3585189: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3585189&group_id=37116&atid=418820 and 3604939: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3604939&group_id=37116&atid=418820

To trigger it, in Yorick's room click at the bottom right corner of the door on the right. Please see the pic in the zip archive, I've added a red box on it to be perfectly clear.

This is the same save as the one in bug 3585793, so disregard the "bug! push that button" as that bug is now fixed.

I can confirm this; I've seen it a number of times while experimenting in that room.

Script patch for this: https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/1519

This is a bug that also occurs in the original, our pathfinding algorithm is doing the same thing's Sierra's did in this case. Sierra rewrote all of this door's code in the Mac version and changed all the relevant positions and obstacle sizes, so the bug only occurs in PC versions.

The easiest way to test this is to just warp to room 96. If you already have a saved game in that room, this patch will take effect immediately, it's not one the ones where you have to reload the room first. (unless you're already locked up)
