[Scummvm-devel] I Have No Mouth - Character disappears on loading a save

[D G Turner]

Daniel,
  As Johannes indicated, you should report this as a bug on our
  tracker, rather than on the scummvm-devel mailing list.

  However, I took a quick look at this and I can NOT replicate
  this problem with the current v1.8.0git master code compiled
  on Linux x86_64.

  If I start the game and save in Ellen's chapter, just after
  entering the pyramid, I can load the resulting game fine.

  However, from loading your savestate, the behaviour is as you
  have described.

  It is clear from the savegame naming that you have made source
  code changes i.e. the savegame name differs from our standard
  and without knowing what other changes you have made, we can not
  really look at this bug.

  Apart from this, if you create a "good" savegame and compare
  it to your savegame, first removing the gzip compression, the
  binary changes are considerable as the SAGA savegame stores a
  significant amount of script state. Working out why this is
  corrupt is tricky... working out HOW that has happened is even
  more so.

  I would suggest that you assign some developers from your team
  to looking at this as it is doubtful that the ScummVM team SAGA
  engine developers will have sufficient time to look at this in
  the short term.

  Also, if you do report this as a bug, I suggest you attach any source
  code changes you have made as a patch or link to a public git branch
  with your changes.
Thanks,
David Turner
