Description
Details: This has been reported on the help forum (here: http:// sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php? thread_id=1346035&forum_id=115757 ), but I haven't found a bug report. Here's the description of the problem: Having gone through much of the game, you get to a point where you're supposed to step onto a crypt (platform) that will descend with your character on board. However, when clicking the appropriate spot on the front of the crypt, your character gives the same speech he would give if you'd chosen the "examine" tool and clicked the crypt - he does not step onto the crypt. I've looked through several walkthroughs, all of them suggesting that this is a bug. Bug persists independant of platform flags (default, amiga, atari.. etc)
scummVM version: 0.8.0 (latest mac snapshot) Game language: English Version of game: Talkie Platform: Run on Mac OS X (10.3.9) with above mentioned CVS snapshot - don't know what platform the game files are from.
Try it yourself with the saved game I've attached

This "issue" has been reported several times already. So far in every single case it turned out to be a mistake by the player / incomplete walk throughs, not a bug in ScummVM... Oh well, maybe this one is a real bug for the first time, we'll see :-)

weird - I searched the bug tracker and couldn't find it listed anywhere... strange thing is, I may have found something else while trying to play the dig from the beginning in 0.8.0: You have to set set a trap at some point to catch an animal. Then you have to "play sheep-dog" to get it into the trap. But the animals never do go in, and the don't seem to respons to what my character is doing. They just do one of two routines every time. What they do depends on what hole in the wall they came out of...
oh, well, that's probably just me again.

If you're still having trouble with the slab, Boston needs to find out more about the crypt first. Try the map room.

For the animal trap, just approach the animal from the opposite side, to force it into the trap.
Closing as invalid, as this is clearly another case of a poor walk through.
