MOHAWK: Riven: Trapbook ending doesn't display video, just plays soundtrack.

[macca8]

If the player enters the trapbook after leaving the Rebel Age, the end game soundtrack plays, but the screen remains blank until the closing credits are displayed. A side effect(?) is that a 7 second block of silence now precedes the credits (should play lead in music).

If the player enters the trapbook while still in the Rebel Age, the ending plays as expected (note that there are different endings in each case).

I've attached a saved game that allows both possible endings to be tested.

To reproduce:

• click the tablet on the table to return to Jungle Island.
• open the trapbook in your inventory and click the screen.

If you wish to test inside the Rebel Age, just ignore the first step.

Trapbook end game test (after meeting Gehn)

Just a quick follow up.
There are actually two variations of the end game if the player enters the trapbook after leaving the Rebel Age. Which variation plays is dependent on whether or not the player met Gehn before linking to the Rebel Age.

The behaviour is the same regardless of when you link to the Rebel Age.
For completeness, I've added another saved game to cover all contingencies.

Thanks for your report. The video will now play, and there will not be silence for a few seconds before the credits start anymore.
For reference this was fixed in commit efcbe65.
