Plugin: OtherRoom

[ivan-mogilko]

This is a purely backwards compatibility task, for running old games.

The very old "OtherRoom" plugin was used, afaik, to make "changes" to other rooms. AGS has only one room loaded at a time, and does not provide script API for modifying others. Commonly this is worked around using global variables. "OtherRoom" plugin probably did similar thing, storing room object states and applying after the respective room is loaded.

The forum thread: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/modules-plugins-tools/plugin-otherroom-plugin-v0-2/
Author mentions there's an alternate script module, which probably does the same and may be referenced to: https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/modules-plugins-tools/module-otherroom-v0-85-now-ags-v2-72-compatible/
