Potential crash issue - Beyond Zork #13

Closed A11y-ravenpaw closed 3 years ago

A11y-ravenpaw commented 3 years ago

Unsure whether this is a problem with my particular game file or with Spatterlight itself; attempting to use the bubble wand in Beyond Zork produces a fatal error and causes the interpreter to crash. I’m uploading a copy of the save I made right before the point at which the object in question is supposed to be utilized. Game version r60, available at Zarf's Obsessively Complete Infocom Catalog. BeyondZork.z5.glksave.zip

Thanks for reporting this!

Bocfel, the Z-code interpreter used by Spatterlight and Gargoyle, exits with an object out of range error at this point when you try to >BLOW BUBBLE. The command seems to work fine in Frotz and Yazmin, so this might be a case of Bocfel being overly strict.

If I simply comment out the line checking for out of range reads, the game seems to continue just fine.

I'll upload a new build which simply skips this check later today.

Should be fixed in https://github.com/angstsmurf/spatterlight/releases/tag/v0.6b
