Comment:
Thanks for retesting, and glad the scrolling fix made most of the tasks
checkable!
The remaining tasks come from your save being older than the fix for this
ticket. Until early August, ScummVM silently dropped some of the game's
flags, including the ones for "Find the vegetable basket" and "Get a
lariat from Tex". Your playthrough started before this fix, so those flags
were never stored when you picked up the basket and got the lariat. The
game doesn't set them again later, so on this playthrough those two tasks
can't be checked off, even with a current build. The Scene::hasItem: out-
of-range id messages are unrelated and harmless, and ScummVM handles them
the same way as the original.
"See if it's okay with Tex if I go riding" can only be checked off after
you ask Tex about riding. A later story event clears it again, so you have
to check it off before that happens. The original game behaves the same
way.
To get all three, please replay those parts of the game from a new game on
a current build. If any of them still can't be checked off on a fresh
playthrough, please attach a save from just before you try, and I'll look
into it.
Given the above, I'm closing this as fixed.
