IHNM: end game text/caption error

Description

I have attached a zip file containing a save game and a picture.

All is on the screenshot. (english version, end game, ...)

The action was: I used the access totem on the Chinese entity. The spoken text is OK (at least I think), but the written one is not.

The used scumm version: 0.12.0svn

The text may is: "That was foolish, human. You have betrayed our trust!

This one is not worthy of our protection. This human must be purged."

I hope I have given all needed material.

best regards

This scene loads a large number of strings, and the text pointers related to examining the two entities point to the wrong memory location, thus this garbage text is shown. The culprit seems to be SagaEngine::loadStrings(), though I'm not sure yet

Update: the culprit is loadStrings() indeed. Here are the string offsets for the strings in this scene: (...) Offset: 65471 Offset: 65504 Offset: 18 <----- out of bounds Offset: 68 (...)

i.e. the last strings in this scene are allocated incorrectly. Quite interesting...

I think the problem is that this section's texts are bigger than 65535 bytes (the max. unsigned word value (2^16)-1). therefore the offsets are: 0 => 65536, 1 => 65537 ... The 18 should be 65535+18!
