Spider-man does not crawl when fighting Octopus for the first time

[windlepoons]

The Arcade game with Octopus has 2 bugs.

1. The fight does not end and is like a loop. The first part you have to dodge the tentacles, after that it goes faster and Spider-Man doesn't lose energy after that.

---

2. Spider-Man does not move his feet (does not crawl like in DosBox).

Tested in game and training mode (Octopus 1) with self compiling version.

For issue 1, I'm not sure why it fails, but this should fix it: ​https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/39df14a946d7a0d5029aa115e271336816613b19 (the code will be refactored soon anyway).

For the second issue, I will fix it soon, since it is a small detail (but an ugly one!).

Btw, which compiler version are you using?

[windlepoons]

I will testing the fix later.

I have several compilers under Linux, but for ScummVM gcc-11:

Looking for C++ compiler... g++
Checking if compiler supports C++11... yes
Checking for compiler version... GCC 11, ok

Thanks!, if you have time, can you also please test the previous version with a different compiler (e.g. clang or an older version of gcc). It is unlikely, but I think issue 1 could be somehow related with the compiler.

The looping bug is fixed, but i have found another arcade bug, sorry. :(
Ticket #13314

I have no idea how to use another compiler, ./configure always uses GCC with the newest version.

[neuromancer]

Please don't be sorry, it is great that you are testing the game!

To use another compiler (e.g. clang): CC=clang CXX=clang++ ./configure --disable-all-engines --enable-engine=hypno and then recompile make clean and make.

This should be fixed in ​https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/a702f68653823c2505e51521bbe8944ea67ff2d1 (the animation won't be perfect, but I will revisit this in the future). Please test it, but be careful since the format of the saved games changed recently, so use the training menu for testing the arcade sequence.

Replying to neuromancer:

This should be fixed in ​https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/a702f68653823c2505e51521bbe8944ea67ff2d1 (the animation won't be perfect, but I will revisit this in the future). Please test it, but be careful since the format of the saved games changed recently, so use the training menu for testing the arcade sequence.

The animation (crawl in Octopus 1) now works in training mode (load save game doesn't work).

[neuromancer]

Great. Please delete all your saves, and start from scratch if you want have new save games (remember you can use 'C' to skip arcade levels). I will close this issue.
