Beta 5 - Jack still unable to jump after pulling lever

[ryos]

I encountered this in room 15494 of Tomb of Princes. I walked off the ledge to the right of the switch, and pulled the switch before Jack had hit the ground. After performing that maneuver, Jack is unable to jump at all.

Wow, two bugs. First, I didn't know Jack could pull levers while mid-air. That's not supposed to be allowed.

Second, yeah, that's a major bug that he can't jump at all. Will look into both of those.

It may be significant that the lever in question toggles gold blocks, since you've just made some code changes that relate to levers, gold blocks, and jumping. I'd have to try it with other levers to be sure.

I just played through Cathedral Towers Hard in one (almost 3-hour) sitting. Remind me never to attempt that again.

Anyway, the bug occurs two places in this mansion too, in rooms 15903 and 14299. In the screenshots, the lever that Jack is standing in front of will render him unable to jump when he lands (the indicated levers in both images toggle gold/silver bricks).

I find it interesting that the toggling of gold/silver bricks is wrapped up in this somehow. Maybe the game isn't getting 'landed on real surface' and still considers Jack to be falling? Or something?

EDIT: The forum is saying that my 690-KB images can't be displayed because the upload directory is full, or somesuch. As such: The lever in room 15903 is perched on two gold bricks, which are over a moving platform; the lever in room 14299 is on four gold bricks that are in a sort of 'L' shape, which are directly over four silver bricks in a straight line.
SECOND EDIT: Images are up now.

I just increased the upload directory so this should not happen again.

Caught a few more.

In Great Escape Hard, rooms 16703, 16503, and 16704 all have this bug. In those rooms, it's the 'standard' setup for the bug to appear, that is to say pulling a lever while Jack is standing on gold/silver blocks.

Now, here's the interesting bit. In room 19096 of Falcon Manor Easy (of all places!), there's a different variant of the bug. If Jack stands where he is in the screenshot (on the brick just above the lever), and Enter is pressed, Jack will auto-align with the lever, pull it, fall down 1 brick— and be unable to jump!

Hope this helps.

All of this is fixed in beta 6.
