#13737: SCUMM: Re-enable lines in DOTT
--------------------------------+---------------------------
Reporter:  GermanTribun         |      Owner:  (none)
    Type:  feature request      |     Status:  new
Priority:  normal               |  Component:  Engine: SCUMM
 Version:                       |   Keywords:
    Game:  Day of the Tentacle  |
--------------------------------+---------------------------
 In DOTT, there are several lines that are in the MONSTER.SOU but can't be
 accessed in normal gameplay due to code problems. While the lines with Dr.
 Fred after getting the diamond are fixed, there are some more.

 It is documented here:
 https://tcrf.net/Maniac_Mansion:_Day_of_the_Tentacle/Unused_Scripts
 And here:
 https://tcrf.net/Maniac_Mansion:_Day_of_the_Tentacle/Unused_Dialogue

 Is it possible to repair those lines so that they appear again (and
 hopefully they were also translated for other languages)?

 Quick overview of those that I think are usable:

 https://tcrf.net/Maniac_Mansion:_Day_of_the_Tentacle/Unused_Dialogue#Field
 In the scene when Franklin wants to test his new kite, he actually has a
 second reaction to Hoagie botching the start of the kite, which is never
 called upon. Perhaps the script can be modified so that his reactions
 alternate? Also, the script is overly restrictive and doesn't allow Hoagie
 to look at the kite and notice a pocket, thus preventing the player from
 getting a good hint. Perhaps the action of looking at it can be allowed?

 Hoagie has special lines for trying to connect an empty battery or a
 random item. However, due to later scripting to make sure the Chon-o-John
 only sends items, these lines are not heard and the plug only gives the
 generic answer. Can the conditions for the special lines instead refer to
 the plug?

 The fire in the fireplace has a code bug that prevents Hogie from trying
 to interact with it properly, thus also never giving his special answer.
