Main ToDo items

Missing Features

  • Screenshots are missing for most of games

    • Required for Russian version of Alpha Polaris
    • Optional for Pole Chudes word guessing game in Russian
  • Some plugins are not implemened:
    • Standard plugins (however, there are no known games that use them)
    • wme_displacement.dll for Beyond the Threshold
    • wme_vlink.dll for Sunrise

  • Sound effects like SoundFXEcho and not implemented

Various ToDo

  • Render issues:
    • PSP: Pixel Format RGBA8888@4 is not supported [Bug #12585]
    • WME3D: rendering does not support screen size change [Bug #12630]
    • WME3D: rendering does not support overlays [Bug #12631]
  • Nice to have:
    • Debugger & Compiler
    • Debugger: Implement a way to warp to desired scenes without completing the game 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 and level editors 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]
  • Dirty rects are working wrong sometimes. Notable case: Helga Deep in Trouble - Graphic mistake [Bug #9683]
  • WME: Engine doesn't use correct screenmode [Bug #11160]
  • WME: Theora player issues [Bug #6500]

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

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. Still, we sometimes are able to implement workarounds, meaning ScummVM at times works better than the original ;).

Note that neither of these lists is complete.

Not Fixed

  • WME: Dirty Split - Dialog coming out of wrong character [Bug #6203]
  • WME: 1 1/2 Ritter - Graphical slider issues in sound options menu [Bug #6567]
  • WME: Some games are using same fonts for selected and normal text [Bug #11287]

Fixed

  • WME: Bickadoodle - Assertion on climbing the mountain [Bug #6594]
  • WME: The Kite - Overlapping bug [Bug #6721]
  • WME: Rosemary - Sprite flaw on going upwards [Bug #6572]
  • WME: Add save thumbnails to Corrosion [Bug #11032]

Known Issues for FoxTail

  • selection arrow in dialogues menus seems to be drawn a pixel off comparing to original game (need more testing with different FoxTail versions)
  • text in books contains extra '^' character at the beginning of some paragraphs (incorrect split? some kind of specially added control character?)
  • saveload progress bar is not drawn under overlay (I need to learn how to deal with dirtyrects to fix this)
  • savegame description encoding seems to be wrong for some reason for Russian (may be caused by changing encoding during the game)
