Maybe your Jack used some kind of a
teleporter deviceand beamed himself up there ??
Re: Jack Stuck - sherryl199 - 07-21-2009
I wouldn't put that past Jack!
Re: Jack Stuck - sherryl199 - 07-21-2009
Actually I just figured it out. I dropped down onto that level when the moving block was going up. Basically I went under the moving block and got stuck on the lower level.
Re: Jack Stuck - aquaMat - 07-23-2009
I guess you are referring to the moving brick in the room above the one you're stuck in.
But still: even when you did it like that, you would have
flownright thru the zapper beam (which goes across the whole width below the moving brick - even if only part of it is visible) - and I really can't see how you would have passed this zapper alive ??
PS: In the meantime I have tried to duplicate your behaviour in all ways I could think of. I never managed to land in the room below alive !!??!
:o

Maybe there was a brief power outage in the Complex when sherry's Jack passed through the zapper beam?

Hi aquaMat -
I tried to take a movie of Jack's jump. Perhaps I'm not doing it right, but I can only record the last room - not the jump from the room above. I pressed Command R in the top room, but both times I only recorded the lower room???? I have two different films - the first I died on my fall and then was 'reborn' in the room below. The other time I let Jack fall under the platform so he was alive on the lower level.
If you tell me how to do it, I'll send those two clips to you.

Unfortunately I have no experience with those MM-movies.
I have never tried to make one.... but as far as I remember there was a detailed explanation in the MM User Manual, wasn't it ?
If I remember correctly, it is not possible to simply record a certain sequence though..... the MM-movie feature can only
filma complete game.
I'd like to see it though....
...so maybe another member could help out by telling you how to record the movie of only a segment ??
One way to do it:
You could use Snapz.
This is a free software which lets you make
screenshot movies(= a movie equivalent of a screenshot). Everything that happens on the screen (incl. mouse movements) is recorded into a quicktime (?) movie and can then be exported / saved.
I once used Snapz - however I never used it to record MM.... but I remember we have talked about it in this forum before - so I assume anybody else might have used it for MM already !?

Ahem, Sherryl.....
.... I have just re-read your post. Maybe I had misunderstood you.
Now it sounds as if you DO already have working film clips of the issue ??!
Or not ?
(First I had the impression it hadn't worked correctly and you were asking for asiistance for the filming).
If you have working films in a format that I & my Mac can read, please PM me about it....or send them via E-Mail.
Re: Jack Stuck - sherryl199 - 07-24-2009
I just downloaded Snapz and will see how that goes. What I have now are two short films that I recorded using the MM record feature. The recording, however, in both cases, only recorded the final room - perhaps it cannot record room to room. If you pm your email, I will send those to you (I'm a totally Mac person) and try to do better with Snapz. Perhaps it is as Semi-Native said, Jack is falling between the electric bolts?
Re: Jack Stuck - rose - 07-24-2009
Sherryl you can start the movie in any room at any time. Sstart it one room earlier you should get what you need.
