#491 FT: Enable F1 game menu in Full Throttle
In the game "Full Throttle", the F1 key is supposed to bring up the game's load/save and volume control menu. presently, the F1 key does nothing.
the request is for the F1 key to bring up the game's internal controls menu. failing that, at least bring up the scummVM menu (which has no name!) but contains controls for Resume/Load/Save/Options/About/Help/Quit.
the reason for this request is that the FT game manual specifically states to use the F1 key to bring up a menu. thus, scummVM should respond in some way to this in order to not confuse the user.
Discussion
I took a look at engines/scumm/input.cpp and it seems we currently only remap F1 to F5 in ScummEngine_v8 and from what I get from the wiki it seems that FT is using v7. According to my "The Dig" cd case inlay the user should be able to use "F1 or F5 on most computers" to open up the save / load menu. A page later only "F5" is mentioned for bringing up the menu though. Thus I think the proper fix would be to move the mapping from ScummEngine_v8::processKeyboard to ScummEngine_v7::processKeyboard.
Ok I added it in r35621. So it should be working in the next SVN build.
