#8056 closed patch

Workaround for bug #604398

Reported by: eriktorbjorn Owned by: fingolfin
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCUMM

Cc: Game: Sam and Max

Description

This patch should make your cars visible in the Sam & Max "CarBomb" mini-game. It turns out that the hack that keeps actors from being drawn while displaying the inventory was also keeping the actors (i.e. cars) from being drawn here.

It's not pretty, but it will have to do until someone figures out a way to remove the hack completely.

In CVS now, with an enhanced comment.

I don't know how exactly the inventory is drawn, is it just another actor or a bomp? If it is a bomp, does that mean we are doing something wrong with the order in which we draw bomps and actors? Gee, I know almost nothing about bomps, guess I should RTFS.

I was wondering the same thing yesterday, but as far as I could see then the Sam & Max inventory isn't a bomp. At least not one that's drawn by drawBlastObject().

If I understand things correctly - and in this case that's one big if - it draws objects first, then actors, then blast objects (bomps), and in that case it seems more likely that the Sam & Max inventory is objects or actors that, for some reason, don't mask the other actors. But I don't know this.

The Dig, on the other hand, does use blast objects for its inventory. And I think it has to redraw the whole thing every scummLoop() iteration. Nasty...
