I was just about to do so :-) As it crashed i had to reboot, sorry
It's a little tricky to reproduce You first have to send away Ratpouch to somewhere else then talk to Gwyn (btw, yes, she is stuck, dunno why, she doesn't move a muscle) about Dragons, when finished, immediately click on the sign above the apothecary. Gwyn will say "Hello, my dear" and the game will stuck
btw: Not the right for this, i know, but do you need me to file single bugreports on every "pathfinding" bugs i found so far or could i merge them into one? found so far File Added: lure.010

It's probably best to post a single combined bug report for any pathfinding problems - chances are any anomolies are closely related in any case.

Could I get you to test the latest build for the save problem? The current code has only one point in hotspots.cpp that does an assert(destCharacter), and that's in the doAsk routine (which handles Ask actions).. but from your bug report the bug was triggered by doing a 'talk to' Gwyn and then looking at the sign. I can't remember anywhere else in the code that did that, but it's possible one of my recent code fixes has removed one.
If you can get the error on the newest build, could you tell me if the error is the same, and what the module/line number is. It would also be useful if you could run the game in debug mode with the flags: --debuglevel=3 --debugflags=animations,scripts,hotspots,strings
and upload it here? Thanks.

With pleasure
ScummVM 0.11.0svn (Dec 15 2007 18:23:10) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 zLib MPEG2
assertion "destCharacter" failed: file "engines/lure/hotspots.cpp", line 1691
debuglog attached
Note: It may not be a problem with Gwyn afterall, as i tested it WITHOUT sedning Ratty away, it seemed that if he stays in the same screen with Diermont everything is ok.
Problem is as soon as i send him away (steps follow)
Tell Ratpouch to Go to The Forge and then Ask Catriona Cowbane and then Go to Smithy Street and then Get Cowbane and then Go to Apothecary Street and then finish
the assertion appears, although NOT immediately after i talked to Catriona and clicked on the sign, a few seconds pass and then it appears
It may be because Ratpouch gets stuck on his way to the Forge?

Uploaded debuglog for real now
...and it doesn't matter if you talk to Gwyn. The error is not affected by her et al, it only happens when you perform the steps on sending Ratty. Seems he DOES get stuck on his way to The Forge summoning the assertion (shame on me for blaming old ladys) :-( File Added: debuglog_lure.zip

Fixed - and thanks for the help in identifying. It was a problem that the Catriona hotspot was only active if the player was in the same room - the hotspot is needed for displaying the associated messages, which in this case weren't needed anyway, since the player wasn't in the room.

Could you please attach a savegame from just prior to the talk to make it easier to test?
