#8206 closed patch

EGA LOOM / INDY3: Experimental bugfix

Reported by: eriktorbjorn Owned by: SF/khalek
Priority: normal Component: Engine: SCUMM
Version: Keywords:
Cc: Game: Loom

Description

I could use some input on this patch, so please don't apply until we've had some time to discuss it.

We already know that setting the CURSOR_STATE variable causes trouble in 256-colour Indy3 (see bug #636578).

Now it seems that setting it, and probably USERPUT as well, causes problems with EGA Loom: The spinning wheel always gives you the incorrect draft, "c c c c".

This patch is based on the theory that these two variables were added at the same time as subopcode 14 of o5_cursorCommand() changed. Can anyone confirm or deny this.

Makes sense, and is what we suspected; what irritates me is that in bug #636578, aquadran said in the disassembly, they are being set ?!

Also, i wonder what's about Zak256 then... it's the only V3 game not covered by this patch, I think...

aquadran, any comments? If not, feel free to apply and/or reassign to me :-)

haven't looked into indy but I'm pretty sure this is the right thing to do for loom
