at today...Goblins 3 it's completely unplayable......

Post by DjDiabolik »

In addition to what has already been reported in the bug tracker:
On the chess rooms i'm again stuck........ The lover caracter it's completely stuck in square on the board and you can no longer select it with your right hand.

Someone on the team should seriously consider revising the current Gob engine...... :(

*EDIT*
I can also add some information about that... for complete the chess enigma to do all task in a perfect order or all it's stuck... for example you need in order to:
1) Kill the both pawns with the archer
2) bring the killer up to check with the lever
3) Position everything to checkmate the king
4) Only right now move the lover to the mandolin squadre to song the seranate to tower.


Another similar issue it's append on the previous level....... when you are on the Bodd and Xina stage..... if you don't complete all task in a perfect order you can't exit from Bodd rooms to complete the stage and Blount ever say to you need to talk first whit the butterfly because he knows it's winnona but all it's stuck.

Too bad it is so badly treated today :(

*EDIT 2*
Another stuck... at the very end movie....... all games it's been stuck when you can see the devil and the angel play song together. After you press a mouse button it's appears on screen a "Goblins News" you can see the final the epilogue final. After that all it's stuck and the final video whit all memories about the previous two chapter of the games never start... all it's stuck.... nothings appens if you press mouse button or all button on keyboard. :(

The GOB engine has not had any development work recently, but the design of the original engine is problematic as the game scripts are quite buggy and can corrupt the game state variables in unpredictable ways. Coupled with buggy original scripts and corrupted / fan-patched script versions floating around from unofficial sources, then we would need something akin to the work on the SCI engine to harden the script interpreters, add debugging functionality and completely reverse engineer all the game scripts to fix them. I think the ScummVM gob engine is unfortunately bug compatible with the original interpreter currently... hence the issues.

mmmmmmmm.. it is a real pity :(

Even those of GOG who sell the complete pack and on gog forum there's some other users who are complaining about this...

However, the ideal is to make a preventive save for each new room that is reached.....
