Black objects in Monkey Island 4

Post by Kwad_rat »

I tried to play Escape from Monkey Island recently and I encountered an issue. The problem is, that some objects in the game are just compliantly black. I'm using EMI with ResidualVM.

We're going to need more details than that.
Which version of ResidualVM? Which operating system? What video card/driver version?

I noticed that this only seems to happen in Fullscreen mode. I'm not sure why.

Then it is probably related to the framebuffer code we use for fullscreen.
Strange that it should turn textures black...
Does anyone else have this issue?

Yeah, in window mode game looks normal. Only fullscreen makes some things black (not everything). I noticed that on first chapter screen, when it was fading out, the one pirate was visible for split second (there is a female that is lit properly and second guy is only a black figure). Also running fullscreen in software and fullscreen in software mode without preserving aspect ration also doesn't cause a problem (but playing it in small square, or playing it horribly stretched is a little bit of problem).

Would be nice to see if a few more people have this issue. Do you want me to put this on Github? I'll try and post a picture with it. I was going to put a few more issues I encountered on there, but I've been busy lately.

Yes, please. I have an nvidia machine at home, so I can try to replicate.

I just pushed a patch to fix it. Look for a daily build made today.

I'll give it a try.

Edit: I tried and it works great.
