Cotton Cove

Room ID#(s):	61

Odd Coding:	Yes

Notes

• This is one of the locations where Sonny can behave like a playboy.

• The driving timer is set to 0 as soon as you pull in (current objective).

• While the dialogue for it has always been in the game since 1.001.000, the scripting in script.061 was edited in 1.001.006 to include the option to ask officer Gelepsi to call a Coroner on your behalf. While it sets the same flag as radioing the call, yourself, it awards the player the wrong amount of points and can lead to a score that exceeds the game's normal 300 limit.

• This 'issue' does not appear in 1.001.000, but was introduced in 1.001.006 and is carried into 1.002.011, Amiga, ST(both) and J1.000.062 versions.

• After the shootout, you can enter the car and either radio in the incident or you can pursue/chase Bains. Both award the same points. If you ignore the captain's calls to return to Cotton Cove to investigate, you will be taken to the Airport (where there is no black car, yet).

• Keep in mind, a timer will still be counting down that will compel the player to return to the cove before doing anything else.

• There appears to be a problem with the J1.000.052 version where if the player leaves the ambush scene without returning fire, they will not be able to call in or pursue Bains.

• If you try to exit the screen to the right and have spoken to the jogger, the game will tell you 'upriver, not downriver', meaning you are still going the wrong way.

• Officer Gelepsi has unique dialogue should Sonny arrive at Cotton Cove in his personal vehicle. Under normal circumstances, this is not possible due to how the driving timers are handled while the game scenario is set to 5. This dialogue is not present in J1.000.062.

Bugs and Glitches

Keith Teleports Credit: Unknown 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes No No No Prior to finding the crime scene, if the player walks from the middle screen to the right screen as close to the bottom as possible, Keith will instantly move from behind Sonny to a much higher position on the screen, enough so the player can see his feet.

Keith Cocklocks You Category: Keith Cocklocks You Credit: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 No No Yes No No Since Keith follows the player (before finding the crime scene) and is the same vertical placement, if Sonny enter the screen as close to the bottom as possible, Keith will also be along the same height. If Sonny moves down along the bottom of the screen, the game will try to auto-move Sonny back to Cotton Cove. Using diagonal movement around Keith will cause the player to end up in front and lock up the game.

Moonwalking Category: Moonwalking Credit: Unknown 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes No No No No The player only briefly moonwalks away from the car. Once the driving sequence is complete, Sonny is placed back in his starting position just above the car. For some reason, the developers decided to move Sonny away from the vehicle prior to the player gaining control over him. - This can only happen at the very beginning of Day 1 due to how the game treats Sonny's initial position on the map.

Endless Blood Category: Infinite Points Credit: Space Quest Historian 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes The player can walk over to the left screen (060), retreat before Bains arrives, walk back to the jogger and 'ask blood' to score additional points.

What Diver? Credit: Unknown 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes If Keith radios in a diving team and the player gets in the vehicle to drive somewhere before they show, then drive back to the cove (immediately), they will find the crime scene has been cleaned up but there is still time left for the diver to show up. When that timer hits zero, the vehicle shows up on screen. However, after leaving the screen, they will find no vehicle has arrived, even after they return to the first screen.

i	No Badge? No Problem! Category: No Badge Credit: Gage Holston 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes ? Yes Typing show badge does not check if the player is actually carrying their badge.

i	Flimsy Booth Credit: Gage Holston 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes ? ? ? No Pulling out the gun in the corner of the phone booth interior can result in the player clipping onto a thin walkable seam. While it seems like the player is stuck, it is possible to clip back out.

Missing Points Credit: Unknown 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes If the player enters in 'show blood' instead of anything else related to the incident, the jogger will point Sonny in the right direction (but refuses to go along). The game treats this as asking about the blood and will not reward the player any points afterwards, no matter how many times the player enters in 'ask blood'.

More Like a Little to the South Credit: Unknown 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes ? ? Every time the player goes back and forth along the right side of the side during the Cotton Cove incident (before the Bains ambush), Keith will comment, "I'm right behind you partner." without limit.

The Jogger No Longer Freezes Me! Category: Draw Gun Credit: Kuro-chan 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes ? ? ? ? Holstering/drawing a gun after the player moves from the ambush scene back to the east side will cause a bit of an interruption with the scripted event. Normally, the 'jogger running' event will lock the controls/parser, but completing the holster/drawing animation during this will unlock them prematurely, allowing the player to carry on, even though the player is supposed to be unable to move.

Where is the Blood? Credit: Kuro-chan Additional Research: Gage Holston 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes Yes Yes Yes Yes There is a different set of rules and conditions when asking about blood compared to showing the blood. ask blood or any other question will check if the distance between Sonny and jogger is > 38. While show blood/clue instead checks if it's > 28.

Never Tardy Credit: Gage Holston 1.001.000 1.006.011 J1.000.062 1.024 1.002.011 Yes ? ? ? Yes There is code that is supposed to have Keith chew out the player if they arrive to the jogger scene late, but it is rendered unreachable due to earlier commands in the script zeroing out the variables needed to trigger it.

OK. I have mucho paperwork to finish. There is content that has been found since the page was last updated and needs to be included.

• Attach images to the various bugs.

• Keith will clip through the tree when trying to enter the car. -- Gage Holston.
