Humongous Entertainment/Progress

General Issues

• Improve descumm support for HE72+ games, to help solve bugs.
• Convert wizImage to image file (BMP?), when printing is requested, to allow printing of images by other programs.
• Fix broken sync. of songs, if the game is paused during a song.
• Dog and probably other games may write non-ASCII characters and '=' into .ini fields values.

 An example of such entry is highscore: "_HS=!$Q!B  Ñ‘=m4". Hex representation of the value is
 "21 24 51 21  42 20 20 a3 3d 6d 34". Probably we substitute non-ascii characters as well as '='
 by \xYY like it is done in C.

Sound system

Complete support for music/sound engine of the games

• Add extra sound flag (4), purpose unknown (Looping related?)
• Add extra sound flags (32, 64, 128) in HE100 games (Where are they used?).

U32 library calls

Complete the U32 library calls, triggered by case 2001 of kernelGetFunctions/kernelSetFunctions. Unfortunately the U32 library calls are unique in each HE game.

• The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccer

Backyard Baseball

• Array out of bounds errors often occur, after playing the game for a long time.
• When players attempt to catch the ball, after a hit, their actor movements are strange and actors often completely disappear from the screen.
• When the ball is hit, the distance of ball defies the laws of physics. For example, a distance of 2753 feet.

Backyard Football

• Freezes when the computer picks a player, when choosing teams.
• Items in the Game Options can only be selected by the choosing the pixels of text, selecting the white background of text doesn't work.

Fatty Bear

• Add support for pitch changes in XMIDI music, which is used by the piano notes in DOS version.

Pajama Sam's Lost & Found

Issues which effect HE98 version only

• The sprite image used to mark an item as collected is often incorrect. The sprite image is adjusted twice when the issue occurs, as the collected items are been detected multiple times for some reason. Some examples are:
  • Collecting the comic book on level 6 (Passcode is K1E6W)
    
  • Collecting the teddy bear on level 8 (Passcode is J4V1Y)
    
• The amount of items collected at the end of a level is often incorrect, as the collected items are been detected multiple times for some reason.

Issues which effect all full versions

• The password for last level reached, isn't saved to the config file. The original version used the script of VAR40 (Script 65) to save information, but not sure when exactly the VAR40 script should be used.

Putt-Putt Enters The Race

• The balls get stuck in the pinball type game at the the pachinko location, which uses case 1140 of logic dispatch.

Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo

Issues which effect demo and full version (HE72 version only)

• When you encouner Kenya the lion cub for the first time, you see a short cutscene. When Kenya tries to jump, her back is teared off with waterfall drops. Actor 1 (Kenya) is an AUX image and actor 2 (Waterfall drops) is only displayed around Kenya (Not overlapping). But the complete background of actor 2 is been reset, causing the glitches.

Fun Shop titles

• Add support for processWizImage mode 7 (captureWizPolygon), used when selecting the stamps button or background objects button. Creates the images to be displayed.
• Add support for processWizImage modes 13, 14 & 15, used after selecting text button. Creates and displays the text written on cursor.
• Add support for processWizImage mode 17, used draw circle when first selecting shapes button.
• Add support for thickLine code for processWizImage mode 10 (fillWizLine), used when selecting the shapes buttons and cycling through the shapes.

SPY Fox In Hold the Mustard

• Find way to extract the level details from 'map(i)' file, for the Macintosh version.

Russian versions

• The Russian company logo shown at the start of many games, is missing most of the white color sections. The missing sections use palette slot 255, palette slot 255 is skipped when setting the room's palette, due to a RGB of 255, 255, 255. Caused by a missing palette difference somewhere or maybe a color miscalculation in drawStripHE() ?

Freddi Fish 1

• Input is disabled in the updated version, after clicking on Fiddler Crab (When he is still trapped in cage), if animation shown, starts with a shaking of the cage. This problem occurs in the original version too.

Freddi Fish and Luther's Water Worries

• The updated version has a bad picture in the resources, which shows up as garbage, even in the original version. It crashes ScummVM (under Windows), and is caused by the cleanup of code in drawStripHE() in the past.

Pajama Sam 2

• Add support for the custom localization code used to handle speech, in this particular port.

Future

• Add 16bit color support for later HE games?
• Add compression support for music/speech files?

• The U32 code controls the players movements on field in soccer2004
