Bugs, glitches and ToDos

Script bugs

Bargon Attack: Graphical glitch when loading a save made on the Bargon bridge after transforming self (the original actor appears as well).
Fascination: Some versions have incorrect timing in several places as they used loading time. Fixing the scripts is required in those cases (before entering the lab was the most visible example) - Now fixed in Amiga and Atari versions
Fascination: The game sometimes hangs in the parking lot when the card is used directly, without the code. - This also occurs in the original exe
Gobliins 2: Leaving Vivalzart's screen and returning after putting the mushroom into the machine yields another mushroom in the inventory. Letting Winkle use that one with the machine locks him up.
Gobliins 2: In music land, trying to switch the screen should be prohibited by the scripts, but isn't. A workaround keeps ScummVM from crashing and shows a dialog box instead. [Bug #1705338]
Gobliins 2: In the bubble screen, the game lets you try to release the prince before acquiring the safety pin, leaving you in an unfinishable state. [Bug #1786556]
Goblins 3: 'A Bell' button hotspot disappears. [Bug #2016550]
Goblins 3: Chessboard scene reloads after the rat is first used. [Bug #2138762]
Goblins 3: Unable to enter the Battlefield. [Bug #2392671]
Goblins 3: Unable to progress through queen's throne room. [Bug #2355116]
LOST IN TIME: sprite gets corrupted during a dialogue. [Bug #2033907]
Woodruff: Infinite hypnotic CDs. [Bug #1975099]
Woodruff: Access to the Laboratory. [Bug #1975177]
Woodruff: Wrong code for safe in temple. [Bug #1996714]
Woodruff: Bluxtre nut not drawn after leaving it on the ground. [Bug #1971739]

General

Mouse cursor sometimes shown when it shouldn't and vice versa. (Introduced when I changed cursor handling to the CursorManager; my solution isn't all that great, apparently.)
The number of used jokers isn't saved correctly: you'll always have 5 to spend again after loading. This is a result of using individual files for each save slot and letting the user exit with CTRL-Q (the number of jokers is saved globally for the whole game and only when exiting using the menu).

Graphics

A few graphical glitches remain:
- [Bug #1793356]
- [Bug #1994369] (Also happens in the original)
- [Bug #2033907]
- [Bug #2033882]
- [Bug #2037184] (2 of 3 also happens in the original)
- [Bug #2828858] (Also happens in the original)

Sound

Ween: Wrong speaker sound when putting away items on some machines.
Fascination: The duration of short sounds is sometimes incorrect. The most obvious problem is the sound of the keys of the phone: the sound is not played for each key (first room). This may be similar to the Ween sound issue.

File-specific tasks

video.cpp

Add support for other rendering modes (EGA/CGA/Hercules) lega.gdr, l360.gdr, lcga.gdr.

music.cpp

Gobliiins Mac: musmac1.adl isn't played correctly at all.

Game-specific tasks

Bambou

Pink screen for a split-seconds while progressing through the story.
Some voices missing, needs multiple live videos (one sound-only).

Fascination

The AdLib player (MDY/TBR) is missing.
Add support to the RAC file, which is used by the protection of the CD version. (not really required, the game works with extracted STKs)

Inca 2

The (hard-coded) space shooter isn't yet implemented.
A few graphic glitches remain.

Little Red Riding Hood

Handle direction keys, so that the arcade part is playable

Playtoons

Creation tool is not working properly.
Clicking on a word should spell it, not the first word of the sentence

The Last Dynasty

Space shooter is hard-coded there, too.
The game currently loops strangely, thanks to the faked shooter return code.

Urban Runner

When mousing over the register in the hotel action sequence, the inventory pops up.

Woodruff

Crash while loading the "Game over" screen for the Rummy game: [Bug #1974745]
