#7181 SDL1: mouse error when using SDL1, 3x and full screen, was: SQ5: Space Bar walking bug (can't enter brig)
ScummVM version: 1.9.0git4226-g5b7ad5c (Aug 11 2016 21:40:14)
Language: English
Game: Space Quest V floppy
Platform: Win32
While in the Space Bar I'm unable to get Roger to walk off the screen to the right to enter the brig area. He just walks to the edge and stands there. I've started over from the beginning to determine that this happens on every playthrough (at least for me). It prevents further progress in the game.
Which version is this? 1.04?
Walking to the right works for me. Roger strangely walks a bit to the left and then to the right, but he enters the next screen.
Okay, I tried again. I can get Roger to walk into the brig as long as the game is being played in a window, but not in full-screen mode (with or without aspect ratio correction).
I don't know how to tell which version I have. It's either from my Space Quest Collection CD or the GOG version (most likely the former).
Maybe your full screen mode doesn't let the mouse click at the right edge?!
Do you use OpenGL? Or SDL?
You can check the file called VERSION. But I assume it's 1.04 as well.
I just tried full screen mode as well and it works too.
I don't know what SDL means, but I had the graphics mode set to 3x.
I tried loading the game under different graphics modes, and the walking problem only seems to occur when set to 3x or HQ3x, full screen. What seems to be happening is that in these modes ScummVM lets you move the pointer farther to the right than one can in a window or in other graphics modes to the point where it's completely off the screen., and I'm speculating that it's interpreting a click in that region as more to the left than it is.
If I move the pointer to where it's only slightly off the right side of the screen walking works normally.
(It's version 1.04).
Ah, now I'm able to reproduce it.
3x + full screen seems to be broken for the mouse. But this seems not to be a SCI engine, but an overall system issue.
Indeed. Thanks for your help and your patience!
