MI2 (CD): crash when scrolling inventory (italian version)

Description
------------------ BUG --------------------- ScummVM version: 0.7.0 & 0.7.1 Language of game: Italian (for sure) Version of game: MI2 Italia, CD version (for sure)
When trying to scroll up inventory, game suddenly crashes! To be noted that it's not at the begin or the end of inventory, because there are other objects that Guybrush have but can't be seen during scrolling cause the crash! I think that this may be a serious bug, because may block to complete the adventure, and pheraps may occur on other games, even if it hasn't been reported yet. ------------------------------------------------- Really great work! Nice job, you're great! Bye from Italy!
PS: I'll install a C++ compiler trying to find the bug. I hope to help you, if I can ;)

To process your bug report appropriately, we need you to provide the following additional information:
* ScummVM version (PLEASE test the latest CVS/Daily build) * Bug details, including instructions on reproducing it * Language of game (English, German, ...) * Version of game (talkie, floppy, ...) * Platform and Compiler (Win32, Linux, MacOS, ...) * Attach a save game if possible * If this bug only occurred recently, please note the last version without the bug, and the first version including the bug. That way we can fix it quicker by looking at the changes made.
This should only take you a little time but will make it much easier for us to process your bug report in a way that satisfies both you and us.
Thank you for your support!

Yes, sorry for incomplete infos:
* ScummVM version 0.7.1 (Mar 27 2005 10:51:21) * details already reported before ^^^ * Language: Italian/DOS * Version: CD (with code protection disabled) * Platform compiler: Win32
I tested both latest version than 0.7.0
Thank you!

As first item in tat list says, PLEASE test the latest CVS/Daily build. You may find it on the bottom of our downloads page. That is 0.8.0CVS.
comment:7 by , 19 years ago
Sorry...where may I found the CVS/Daily build? "Build" stays for already compiled? Otherwise, what's your favourite compiler?
Thank you!!!
comment:8 by , 19 years ago
As sev already mentionned, you can found the "win32 daily snapshot" on the download page. Here's the direct link : http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/scummvmwin32.exe
Also, if you see error messages when you experience the crash, please, report them here.

This is a critical bug. Raising priority.
And what is the staus of this?
comment:13 by , 19 years ago
Also please, run game with -d9 command line switch and provide output it gives right before crash (30 lines will be sufficient). And this should be tested with daily snapshot.

Still awaiting response by the bug poster -- without feedback, we can't do anything about this issue, I am afraid :-/

Dear ScummVM Team!
I have tried to reproduce this bug with exactly this italian CD Version.
I wasn't able to reproduce this bug with CVS 10/16/2005.
I did'nt really play the game (I don't speak Italian, but the word jokes I tell ya! ;-) ) but I did collect 4 rows of inventory items, used them, stayed at last row when using an item, so it would be empty afterwards, then scrolled up and tried almost every thing regarding the inventory.
Everything worked as it should.
Inventory scrolling works perfectly for me.
But again: I didn't complete the game.
Best regards

Hi Joachim,
thanks for that. Now, there is a savegame attached to this report (just scroll to the bottomt of this page). Could you download this computer and try to reproduce the problem with that savegame? That would be very helpful!
comment:17 by , 19 years ago
Will try now.
Is the save for 080CVS?
I have already played Mi2 Italian CD to PartIII (LeChuck's fortress).
I am currently stuck there because I don't know head/feet/hip/arms in italian!
And believe me: This was NOT FUN at all and spoiled the game for me.
I will try to complete it AND use this savegame.
Until then
Joachim

I can reproduce this bug with this savegame. With what version of ScummVM has this savegame been stored? Does this make any difference?
I cant scroll up above the library card, however, I can scroll down to the bottom and scroll up to the library card again, but no further.
I don't know yet what happens, if I try to finish the game myself.
I will look up those italian words in a dictionary.
See ya
Joachim

I have successfully finished MI2 ITALIAN CD with CVS 10/16/2005.
I did not encounter ANY bugs except 2 line feeds even I recognized as wrong.
Shall I file those 2 incidents I have found?
I DID NOT ENCOUNTER A INVENTORY BUG STARTING THE GAME FROM SCRATCH.
But I have to say that SF Bugtrackers are HORRIBLE.
Every page takes AT LEAST 2 minutes to show and most often, when I file a report, the "page cannot be found" resulting in my report beeing gone. *Grunt*
Also, it almost takes 1day until I get emails from SF.
Best regards

Your SF.net problems sound odd, maybe something is wrong with your computer. While SF.net isn't the fastest site, over here loading a page takes about 5 seconds. And I never ever see "Page not found errors" (unless I manually enter URLs which I usually mistype, that is :-)...
Regarding the bug report: Maybe the savegame is corrupt, then... Hm
comment:21 by , 19 years ago
Sorry for delay, but I didn't hope you'd try the bug I had.
Here are some last lines of -d9 execution with rel. 0.7.1 (mar 27 2005): --------------------- Script 9, offset 0xa1: [8B] o5_getVerbEntrypoint() readvar(16386) getResourceAddress(Inventory,10) == 014C8714 findResource(BREV, 14c8714) Assertion failed: verbptr, file scumm/script.cpp, line 156 ------------------------------- Same error, but different line, with the latest build, rel. 0.8.0pre (Oct 21 2005) ------------------------------- writeVar(136, 287) Script 9, offset 0x9c: [A8] o5_notEqualZero() readvar(16386) Script 9, offset 0xa1: [8B] o5_getVerbEntrypoint() readvar(16386) getResourceAddress(Inventory,10) == 0951F364 findResource(BREV, 951f364) Assertion failed: verbptr, file scumm/script.cpp, line 168 -------------------------------
I think this is a problem with a verb pointer of Italian version...
I hope it may help you. If you try the savegame, it's not necessary to know Italian, because is enough to scroll up inventory. Anyway: head=testa/feet=piede/hip=anca/arms=braccia
Thank you and good luck!

Dear Lord Larry (Never thought I'd ever say that ;-) )!
I have successfully finished MI2 Italian CD already with latest 0.8.0CVS.
I did not encounter this bug there.
I did try your savegame also, but it is a 0.7.0 Savegame. And yes, the crash happens there WITH THIS **OLD** SAVEGAME.
But if you try to complete the game USING 0.8.0 FROM START!!!! this bug does not happen.
At least for me!
Please start MI2 Italian COMPLETELY from the beginning with 0.8.0PRE to see if the bug is still there!
And: I am not in any way a member of the ScummVM team. I am just someone who wants to help them.
Best regards
Joachim

Dear Joachim, thank you for your answer. I hope you didn't play whole Italian version for me!!! I believe to you when you tell you complete the game. But if I can't scroll up inventory, it's because there's some bug to solve, evidently. I've tried the savegame with latest version you mencioned (0.8.0pre) too, which one is compatible. Now, I prefer to let programmers to find this bug, then end the game from the point I'm arrived, which is real near the end! I repeat the debug lines for convenience:
Here are some last lines of -d9 execution with rel. 0.7.1 (mar 27 2005): --------------------- Script 9, offset 0xa1: [8B] o5_getVerbEntrypoint() readvar(16386) getResourceAddress(Inventory,10) == 014C8714 findResource(BREV, 14c8714) Assertion failed: verbptr, file scumm/script.cpp, line 156 ------------------------------- Same error, but different line, with the latest build, rel. 0.8.0pre (Oct 21 2005) ------------------------------- writeVar(136, 287) Script 9, offset 0x9c: [A8] o5_notEqualZero() readvar(16386) Script 9, offset 0xa1: [8B] o5_getVerbEntrypoint() readvar(16386) getResourceAddress(Inventory,10) == 0951F364 findResource(BREV, 951f364) Assertion failed: verbptr, file scumm/script.cpp, line 168 ------------------------------- Thank you again!

Joachim, though your help is really appreciated :) I wish most users could be like you and help developers with bugfixing. Thanks a lot.
comment:27 by , 19 years ago
lordlarry_it, we, the programmers, can do little to nothing about your problem. First off, we don't have the italian version, so we can't try it ourselves. Secondly, even if we had, this seems like a savegame corruption issue, and if that's the case, we can't do anything at all, I am afraid... :-/ I really have no idea what else could cause your problem.

Dear fingolfin, first of all, thank you very much for the great work you've done. This emulator is great!!!
The bug that I found seems to be not frequent, so I think at this point you should close it. At this point I think it's unuseful for you to bring ahead a bug you can't track. Go on with this great work. You're great!
Cheers Lorenzo from Italy
