Jack Stuck - hawaii - 06-24-2009
Great Game, Thank you
I think that there is a JS. He fell from the room above.
Re: Jack Stuck - aquaMat - 06-25-2009
I remember having tried (during building) to
step offthe block in the room above that ....to see if I could land where you are.
I never landed there alive.
However, apparently you landed there while trying to go back (in the room above)....and then, it seems, you missed the grey (disappearing) platform.
This, honestly, I hadn't checked.
So this is what I call a semi-JS ....and it will be fixed in the next UD. ***
Thanks for letting me know.
***Until then: jump to your death to be able to continue ('cause that's what will happen anyway, once this is fixed: Jack will die instead of landing there alive! 8-) )

I have another one. Room 18694. I took the middle left ladder without activating the platform first and fell to the bottom left ladder. I knew I could do that drop and land without dying, so I thought it was a real route, but I found myself unable to get back.
Pity, until I got stuck I thought this was a very clever way of hiding a legit path!
So, perhaps that middle left ladder could be a tad shorter to prevent someone from dropping from it to the platform below?

Too bad..... this one apparently slipped thru the cracks during our beta-tests. Nobody of us tried to go down there without activating the platform first....and I honestly thought Jack couldn't survive this fall anyway.
It's a pity.... 'cause now I have to make the ladder 1 unit shorter.....which definitely doesn't look nearly as good.
But at least Jack won't survive the fall anymore then.
Thanks for telling me.
Re: Jack Stuck - aquaMat - 06-26-2009
Meanwhile I checked it.
I found a way to make the ladder a bit shorter but have it still look nearly as good..... (I still preferred the old look, however).
Anyway - it will be in the next UD..... and dropping down there alive (without actrivating the platform first) will no longer be possible.

Glad to help. I can't believe I made that mistake TWICE!!! ;D

Hi aquaMat -
Not sure if this is a JS or if I cannot find the answer - fell from above- he's in the upper right. I can 'squirrel jump' down to the lower platform. If Jack dies, he just reappears where he is now.
Thanks -
Re: Jack Stuck - zipwin - 07-20-2009
This is a wonderful wrinkle. Not a Jack stuck. Go back out of the room and re-enter and see if you can go down then.
Re: Jack Stuck - aquaMat - 07-20-2009
Hi sherryl199,
we came across exactly this problem during beta-testing....so I did something against it PRIOR to the release version 1.0. So it is no longer possible that Jack falls from the room above and lands there ....
... UNLESS you are playing a BETA version of The Complex !
Please check if you are really playing version 1.0.
In the room above this spot is a zapper beam that prevents Jack's falling to the room below.
PS: It has been changed already before (beta) version 0.9.6. I have just re-checked it.
Re: Jack Stuck - sherryl199 - 07-20-2009
I am using version 1.0 - I cannot seem to duplicate it although I've tried!
