AGI: Predictive Input

Post by noize »

ScummVM asks for pred.txt when clicking on the typing bar, and crashes.
Where do I get this file, and where do you put it?

I don't know how this predictive input thing is supposed to work - something to simplify typing on hand-held devices, perhaps - but I've just made a slight change so that it won't crash if pred.txt is missing.

It still won't accept any keyboard input while the mouse cursor is hovering over the text input area. I don't like that behaviour, but - again - I'm not sure what the intention is here.

I see the problem is fixed. Thanks.
I'm still curious what pred.txt is, or needs to be.

Apparently it's something to help typing commands on devices that don't have a keyboard, and has to be generated from the game data files. I don't know what the plans are for it.
