I attached the save game on the position in Castel Brunwald. If you follow the path you will meet the Soldier I mean. Choose answers 2 -> 2 -> 1 then the error will occur.

"Ich führe gerade einen Sicherheitstest durch" is the last answer you can give to the soldier.

This bug is caused by a script error in the original game (they encoded the 'sz' letter incorrectly once more). Fixed in Subversion, fix should be contained in tomorrow's daily build.

In 853c0a98:

SCUMM: Improve Trac#1675 and Trac#2715 bugfixes for German Indy3

  • Fix an off-by-one in resStrLen() return value, and apply its workaround for Trac#2715 too.
  • Merge the two convertMessageToString() workarounds into a single one, and fix another off-by-one in the Trac#1675 case.
  • Restrict both workarounds to the German release of Indy3 (DOS release checked against my own copy, Amiga release tested by gabberhead).
  • Restrict both workarounds to the two rooms using the wrong byte for the German Eszett character -- but don't limit it to a particular script number, because the faulty lines can be triggered by some global scripts too (e.g. highlighting a dialogue option).

This should fix the following problems:

  • the use-case in Trac#2715 still triggering a fatal "string escape sequence 32 unknown" error in convertMessagetoString(), when one highlights the "Woher weiß ich, daß SIE kein Spion sind?" line.
  • the missing full stop at the end of the "…irgendwo hier im Schloß." line from the drunk guard.

In 03d1631b:

SCUMM: Avoid erroring out on invalid control codes

This matches the actual behavior from every SCUMM version.
This should properly fix the crashes in #1675 and #2715.
