)The rest of Room28::init is to handle the day/night cycle and where Rosella should appear, and that's the only place the door object itself is touched (saying "door" doesn't count). I honestly can't find anything here that could cause the door to be misplaced like this.I'm out of ideas.
Perhaps, the game uses different rooms but still uses the same backgrounds.This is, in fact, true. Room 333 handles riding the unicorn through all (!) the screens.
Maybe it's an issue with NRS's "Ultimate King's Quest 4" version? It meshes up resources from the various KQ4 versions.That's "mashes up". (My turn~)
That's "mashes up". (My turn~)or messes. :P
or messes. :PMashes makes more sense in context. At least, mashing it up is the patch author's intent, and messing it up is what results considering the door's gone wonky.
This is, in fact, true. Room 333 handles riding the unicorn through all (!) the screens.

)1988 version is exactly the same at this point except for not using an overlay for the night state and having different coordinates for the door: 289 139 and 283 139, which are again the same as in room 28.This thread got accidentally (I think?) locked. It's unlocked now.
This is King's Quest IV, version 1.006.004, released 1989-08-07 on SCI 0.000.502.
Actually it's weird - according to sciwiki (http://sciwiki.sierrahelp.com/index.php?title=King%27s_Quest_IV:_The_Perils_of_Rosella#SCI0_.28late.29) the only difference is the KQ4PATCH which fixed views 653 and 997. But perhaps the wiki is wrong and there are other differences.There's definitely a new interpreter; and a quick peek at FreeSCI shows this:
#define SCI_VERSION_FTU_PRIORITY_14_ZONES SCI_VERSION(0,000,502)
/* Last version known to do this: 0.000.490
* Uses 14 zones from 42 to 190 instead of 15 zones from 42 to 200.
*/
Does this matter? idk. But the change is included in the last few releases of KQ4.

A different interpreter (0.000.409 vs my 0.000.502) shouldn't affect the door like that, and KQ4FIX is literally just two apparently-missing views that don't apply to the mine entrance so I too would like to see if Robin's version has any differences in script.333 or view.600.

PC version 1.000.106 and 1.000.111 are the only ones with the original detailed graphics. For 1.003.006 and later versions, Sierra simplified the background graphics to make the game fit on one 5.25 inch disk less, removing background detail and separate night pictures.
The KQ4FIX patch dated 1989-02-15 addresses error message "0x80/653 not found" at DOSBox cycle settings above 1500 when entering the screen with the waterfall. This patch only applies to version 1.003.006. This problem was corrected in the later version 1.006.003 and is not needed in versions 1.006.003 or 1.006.004.
PC version 1.006.004 is the latest PC version and has the main character walking faster diagonally.

Robin, the code you pasted is only for the from20 instance.
The other ones (from26 and from27) have wrong coordiantes, carried over from the old kq4 version:Code: [Select](2

I think that finally solves your mystery Robin!
Thanks for raising it - it was very interesting :-)
I guess we should offer a patch to ScummVm.
