CHEWY: Missing secondary comments by Chewy

Reported by: afreickmann Owned by: bluegr
Priority: normal Component: Engine: Chewy
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Chewy: ESC from F5

Description

Many of Chewys comments are missing, when you try something not working. Most obvious it is on F5 with the Access card. In the Original, he says "Access denied", in the ScummVM version he says "I cant do that".
Another example is the face scanner: You get for the alien mask and the alien mouse two unique comments. I assume its more often happening.

Another good area where you can notice it is at the dumpster factory. The monitor here can show different items and Chewy will react to each of it individual. In the ScummVM version, he just gives the answer for the black screen.

Another alternative text example is the book in Howards room, you can go through his whole book - title + 6 chapters.

CHEWY: Refactor handling of scene text

I'm attaching a savegame from the trash room. If you look at the monitor it says "Looks like Paris by night". If you then push the button to change the image, it's meant to give different look respoinses.

The issue is especially problematic when manipulating the fake artifact in Amazonia. Chewy says, the scratching does not work, the comment does not change and also the comment after the scratching is same. Thus, this puzzle is impossible to solve for new players.

Noticed problematic scenes all through the game, you are missing many hints by Chewy, making the game definitely worse as it is. The game is far from perfect, but here the developers did some wise choices and gave many tips.

Lowering priority to normal. This is not a game breaking bug

Finally fixed that one in the following commit:
https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm/commit/ae3ebc5b02f707828068e488d044c1608cebfa61
This will be fixed in the latest unstable version. Will need to check if it can be backported to version 2.6.0
