Highlight all objects in the room ...

Is it possible (perhaps with the debugger) to highlight all objects in the room (like in Simon)?

I find it very annoying to miss a crucial item and having to backtrack huge distances ...

And which game(s) are you talking about, then?

In case you are referring to SCUMM games: No such way exists.

I downloaded the source and added that functionality. Thanks again for all the help in the IRC channel. One easy way to do it is to modify ScummDebugger::Cmd_PrintObjects and then use the debugger to highlight the objects.

You could always submit a patch to the tracker, telling people how you did that

Yes, please. Even if it's not accepted, I might just have to build it myself

Yes, please share your findings with us. I'd be very glad to have a look at your source code modifications.
