The earliest 16-color releases of Loom have a bug when Bobbin exits
room 32 (in the dragon's cave) with the staircase on the right: he will
walk *through* them instead of just walking *on* them, if he entered the
room via the other stairs in the ground.
This has been fixed in some 1.2 and later releases, but the original
16-color English releases appear to always have this bug (even with the
original interpreters). The 1.2 release fixed this with more changes
(incl. checking Bobbin's coordinates), but this smaller fix appears to
be enough.
With some help from eientei on Discord, who also found that the
scripts were different in this room between the EGA releases.
This fixed a small box glitch in Atlantis, which also happened with the
original interpreter. This kind of fix is put in the "game-specific
enhancements" option, nowadays.
Tested with boot param 9904.
Fixing original typos is usually an enhancement now, and most of the
SCUMM workarounds describe what's going on.
Still OK with the English talkie release from GOG (with boot param 4964).
I'm not sure this workaround works with the floppy releases though (the
length and offsets look talkie-only) but I don't have any English floppy
release of this title.
b_updateStage updates the framesRan counter while using the
fewframesonly debug flag. With a message in place we can track
the state and where the framesRan counter was updated.
Set debug level higher for fondler and movieDone to have less clutter
on the regular level 5.
Those two functions are called over and over while the movie isn't done.
This replaces the fixed vertical coordinates with coordinates based on the font
height (taken from the original CJK DIG interpreter).
It also influences the appearance of the non-CJK dialog, but not necessarily for
the worse (and the one we had is again different from the one in the original
7.3.5/7.5.0 interpreters, so there really is not one definite dialog).
There is more in this commit, like:
- clippint the save names at the end of the line
- getting rid of all sprintfs and similiar cleanup to be better in line with our
coding conventions.
