Dreamweb Released As Freeware

Post by **sev** » Thu Nov 01, 2012 1:53 pm

You may consider as freeware only those packages which were published by ScummVM Team and which have the corresponding license attached to the release.

As of other versions, there is a request to contact us if you own original release not yet published. Then we check the validity of release (it's unmodified state), and consult with the rights owner on the freeware status. If everything is OK, the package gets published officially. The rest is so far could be considered as piracy.

So if you own the versions in question, please drop a mail to lechuck@scummvm.org

Ok, good to know. I've played Dreamweb a bit in the last few days and I've encountered a couple of crashes so far. Trying to use the CD box in Eden's bedroom crashes ScummVM. Likewise, trying to use a certain one of the lights in Eden's garage also causes a crash. I'm using Dreamweb UK CD version with ScummVM 1.5 Windows 32-bit.

I was able to reproduce that once, but so far not again. (For a while I thought it depended on which of the two CD boxes I used.) For reference, in my case it said:

scummvm: ./engines/dreamweb/structs.h:350: const uint8* DreamWeb::GraphicsFile::getFrameData(unsigned int) const: Assertion `i < 346' failed.

In one case when I tried, it inserted a blank line in the message it printed when I tried to use the box. Something is behaving not quite predictably...

Thanks to debugging efforts by eriktorbjorn, we were able to find the actual cause of these crashes: some game texts contain leftover non-printable characters (tabs), which caused the engine to crash. These are now filtered out. The fix should be available in tomorrow's daily builds.

There is a bug in the church, if you pick up one of the last remaining stones at the upper right beside the cart I get a pixelated screen.

You need to register to create an account on sf.net and submit bug reports to our tracker, as we don't accept anonymous users to submit new bugs, for obvious reasons (mainly, avoiding excessive spam). Alternatively, you can use OpenID or a Google account.

For what it's worth, I had no problem picking up the rocks and putting them all in the cart when I try it. Of course, I don't know if what I did is even remotely comparable to what you did, because I don't even know what operating system you're using, something may have happened earlier in the game that made your savegame much different from mine, you could be using a different version of the game than I do, and so on.

But as has already been pointed out, the bug tracker is much more useful for bug reports. There, files (such as savegames) can be attached to the report, and the bug report is less likely to be forgotten once the initial discussion has died down. (And yes, I know there are some very old bugs in the bug tracker that remain unfixed. But they still have a much better chance there than they would have in the forums.)

I have used the english version (which can be downloaded here) on Windows XP. You have to pick up all stones and put them in the cart in this game. It happened by trying to pick up stone number 6.
