== 2007-07-17 (Tuesday) - Banged my head to the wall with bug #1751483 == | |||
Tried to fix [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=418820&aid=1751483&group_id=37116 bug #1751483] | |||
(Description: "AGI: The -x command-line option appears to be broken"). | |||
Was somehow unfocused today, did only about a half a day's work. | |||
Didn't get far with the bugfixing as I banged my head to the wall with it | |||
for some hours. It just seemed that yes, the save_slot parameter does get correctly | |||
parsed from the command line and set to the configuration manager's key | |||
save_slot but doesn't for some unknown reason get to the AGI engine at all. | |||
Sooo... it seems that it was just the way I used the command line options that | |||
made it act that way. I did use the --save-slot i.e. -x command line option but | |||
used the launcher with it to choose a game. Oh well, I did realize that after | |||
some hours :) and now I can at least reproduce the bug on my machine (By also | |||
giving the game's name on the command line, not just the save slot number). | |||
The problem with my approach was that if no game was given on the command line | |||
the save_slot's value was cleared when loading a game. It got cleared as a part | |||
of the configuration manager's transient domain (kTransientDomain i.e. | |||
__TRANSIENT) that got cleared at game loading. So no wonder the value never | |||
got to the AGI engine's side at all :-). | |||
And yeah, it's broken at the moment, the bug is true. With Police Quest I's | |||
PC version I also got the menus to disappear when loading some save game for it | |||
from the command line. And when I tried accessing the menu the game | |||
died. So it's definitely broken. But I haven't come up with a reasonably | |||
easy way to fix it yet and starting work on the Apple IIGS sound support | |||
is around the corner so I'll probably put this bug back to the pool. | |||
