#873 closed defect (fixed)

MM: F-Keys not yet supported

Reported by: SF/dfabulich Owned by: fingolfin
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Maniac Mansion

Description

Beat the game. Alternately, blow up the mansion. (In the attached saved game, go through the door, give the badge to Purple Tentacle, walk through the door on the right, open the locker, pick up the suit, use the card key on the slot, and turn the switch off.) The game will say "press f4 to play again", but this obviously doesn't do anything useful.

I'm not too clear on what you'd want to do about this, but I'd think that you'd either want to somehow change that message to say "f5" or to make f4 act like f5. (For MM only?)

I'm on Win2K, ScummVM 0.4.2cvs, Built on Jun 8 2003 10:48:38.

I think the F-key codes are different in the old games (1-8 for F1 to F8, or so?)

Ah. A little more investigation turned this up.

In the original, f4 was like ESC, not f5. (In fact, pushing ESC at that point does, indeed, start the game over again in ScummVM, but not in the original version.) Here were the original keys:

f1 - Dave f2 - Kid 2 f3 - Kid 3 f4 - ESC f5 - Save/Load/Continue (with a cool screen that would be nice to have in the ScummVM version... somehow...?) f6 - Toggle sounds f7 - Nothing? f8 - Restart

Yes yes. This is all trivial visible by looking at script 4.

Fixed (well restarting doesn't work fully properly but that's another issue :-)
