Time tunnel before casting narwile. Cast narwile and the time tunnel will look fine, but if you go away and come back you will see the graphic glitch. So it doesn't happen the first time.

This is a bug in ScummVM, it works properly in the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vs7ALIQa2Uc#t=19m48s

The relevant script is me2j.scr

comment:3 by eriktorbjorn, 9 years ago

If I understand correctly, this is the script that draws the lever. At least in my case, I should add, since I didn't use the savegame provided with this bug report.

~~~~ puzzle:09536 { # me2j_setup_lever criteria { [09526] = 1 # me2j_screenset [09484] > 7 # me2j_lever_control [09484] < 11 # me2j_lever_control } results { action:animplay:09537(me2ja151.rlf 480 247 551 310 8 8 1 0 0 0 0) # me2j_setup_lever_anim } flags { once_per_inst } } ~~~~

I think this is the script that decides to show a close-up of the time tunnel (where the lever should not be visible) instead of showing the control panel (where the lever should be visible). So something about this should ensure that the lever isn't shown, perhaps?

~~~~ puzzle:09526 { # me2j_screenset criteria { [09491] = 3 # me2j_guard_state [09419] = 1 # me2j_fence_is_down [09404] = 1 # me2j_time_tunnel_open } results { action:set_screen(me2jf111.tga) action:animplay:09534(me2ja211.avi 213 22 428 321 0 49 0 0 0 0 0) # me2j_time_tunnel_looping_anim action:assign(09406, 1) # me_can_hear_tunnel action:assign(09527, 0) # me2j_backup_1 action:assign(09528, 0) # me2j_backup_2 action:enable_control(09527) # me2j_backup_1 action:enable_control(09528) # me2j_backup_2 action:assign(09529, 0) # me2j_button_hotspot action:assign(19712, 0) # me2j_lever_hotspot action:disable_control(09529) # me2j_button_hotspot action:disable_control(19712) # me2j_lever_hotspot action:assign(09533, 0) # me2j_time_tunnel_hotspot_1 action:disable_control(09533) # me2j_time_tunnel_hotspot_1 action:assign(09535, 0) # me2j_enter_time_tunnel_anim action:assign(06123, 1) # user_at_monastery_timetunnel action:assign(09404, 1) # me2j_time_tunnel_open action:assign(09530, 0) # me2j_machine_going action:assign(09531, 0) # me2j_machine_speed action:assign(09532, 1) # me2j_vo_played action:delay_render(10) } flags { once_per_inst do_me_now } } ~~~~

This bug does not happen in scummvm the first time you look at the time tunnel. Since the youtube video doesn't back away and look at it again we do not know that it is not in the original.

comment:6 by eriktorbjorn, 6 years ago

I submitted a pull request for handling this as a script bug: ​https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/pull/1070

But I don't know if it's correct, or if it has to be modified for other versions/translations of the game. (There hasn't been any feedback of it yet.)

I've attached a save for the original interpreter windows/cd/gog version. This bug does appear in the original. Simply re-approach the tunnel after opening it the first time.

Thank you very much for verifying this!

comment:9 by eriktorbjorn, 6 years ago

The workaround has been merged, and I have updated the comment to reflect that the bug does in fact happen in the original game.
