Status

See Wintermute Games for a list of the current state of the various games.

Main ToDo items

Missing Features

  • Screenshots are missing for most of games
  • Some plugins are not implemened:
    • Standard plugins (however, there are no known games that use them)

    • wme_vlink.dll for Sunrise
    • wme_blackandwhite.dll for Stroke of Fate dilogy

  • Debugger

Various ToDo

  • Implement a way to warp to desired chapters without completing the games to reproduce some game-specific bugs
  • Implement script patches (like in SCI) for fixing original bugs (like, 1 1/2 Ritter slider) and accessing interesting dead code (like, debug screens bundled inside game packages)

Known Issues

  • Last letter of text lines is missing sometimes. Notable case: 1 1/2 Ritter - Menu font problem [Bug #11007]

Legacy ToDo List

Not sure if this is already fixed or not. Need to look at this later.

  • Optimize UITiledImage
  • Use more than one dirty rect
  • Font-sizes are wrong enough to allow Dirty Split to draw text that is hidden in the original game (most visible on the coin-interface)
  • Alpha-masks for Theora-videos are broken on big-endian platforms

Known Issues for specific 2D games

Bugs Also in the Original

In the following you will find a number of bugs which actually already occur when using the original interpreter / .EXE. That is, those errors are bugs in the games themselves, not in ScummVM.

  • WME: 1 1/2 Ritter - Graphical slider issues in sound options menu [Bug #6567]
