BLADERUNNER: path traversal problems

[emmalynrenato]

Just tried the work-in-progress Blade Runner game. There are a
couple of path traversal problems almost at the start of the
interactive game. Load the attached bladerunner-win.001 file and
start/resume the game. Runciter will walk to the left, right through
McCoy. Click on Runciter again and he'll walk back over to McCoy.
After the dialog, Runciter will walk to the back through the red
bar-like structure.

I'm not sure if these are problems in the original game or just in
the ScummVM implementation.

Redoing the instructions to repeat this, as when I went to retry it,
it didn't work exactly the same. I suspect there is some element of
randomness going on here...

Load the attached bladerunner-win.001 file and start/resume the game.
Runciter will walk to the left, right through McCoy.

Click on Runciter again and listen to the dialog. Runciter will walk
over to McCoy after he's finished talking. Click on Runciter again.

After the dialog, Runciter will walk to the back through the red
bar-like structure. Note that Runciter's walking directions appear
to be random, so sometimes he walked left instead on backwards through
the red bar-like structure.

This is an issue that's being worked on and currently being play-tested in internal builds. It's not an issue of the original game.

@emmalynrenato: Is this still occurring with the latest daily build?
@antoniou79: Any update on this?

[antoniou79]

It shouldn't be happening any more. Path finding has been implemented, enabled and is part of the daily builds for a while, and a few additional bugs we found in it also have also been ironed out (pending more playtesting). @peterkohaut worked on these issues; I did some debugging mostly.

@emmalynrenato: Do you still experience issues with pathfinding in the latest builds?

This has been resolved. Setting its state to pending, as the OP is unresponsive
