Stuck in King's Quest 2

Post by Smothermunchie »

Hey guys.

So I'm in the cottage and just gave the soup to the old woman.

Whenever I type "look under bed" I'm only getting this response...

Any suggestions?

Thanks. :)

Which version of ScummVM is this? I can't reproduce the problem with the current development version, but I believe that there were some changes to how commands are parsed less than a month ago. (Not that I know if that would have any impact on this, but it sounds like it's misinterpreting your command as "look bed".)

I'm using scummvm_1.4.0~git2710.g174b8d6_armel for Maemo 4 on my N800 tablet.

I'll transfer the save file to my Windows XP and see if I can pass this part.

Thanks. :)

I'm not sure, but I think that's from a few days before the AGI parser changes I was thinking of. Again, I don't know what impact they had.

Well, I fired up the Windows XP version of SCUMM and all is good now.

So I'm finally past this part. :)

Hey, I noticed that in /opt/scummvm/share/pred.dic that there is no word called "under" in this file.

Could this have been the cause?

Cheers.

I don't know, but I thought that file was only for making words easier to type, not for interpreting them afterwards.

A bug was fixed in the way AGI commands are handled (bug #3424066) in the latest stable version - seems like it fixed this bug as well

Yeah.

Tarek, who asked me to try his latest build for Maemo 4, fixed whatever was the cause of this.

Thanks for the responses everyone.

And thank you SCUMM team for making such a wonderful product to enjoy. :)

I take no credit for fixing any of this. All I did was make daily builds :)
