 This seems to be more an unimplemented feature than a bug, so I'm
 considering this a feature request. If necessary, please re-file the
 ticket as a defect.

 **Synopsis:** When using the [[https://ctpax-
 cheater.losthost.org/htmldocs/nvh/nhcaddon.zip|fan-made Russian
 translation patch]], subtitles are missing in one particular case: in
 module 1100, where the sound "Klaymen, up here!" is heard. This is even
 mentioned in the official readme for the patch (ENG-READ.txt in the
 archive).

 The patch in fact does contain a subtitle corresponding to the hash of the
 sound in question, but it appears that subtitles for sound effects are
 simply not implemented yet in the ScummVM Neverhood engine.

 I have attempted some tinkering with the code myself, but without much
 success. Looks like the entire subtitle system might need some
 refactoring, and I'm not quite sure where to start on it.

 I'm therefore creating this ticket in case someone else feels up to the
 task.

 For easier testing, I'm attaching a save file made in the corresponding
 location. To trigger the sound, simply walk forward (skip the walking
 animation by pressing space).
