Discoteque of Doom Help - again

Note: (This is my second reply..... just when I finished my first, very eloquent one, my Mac crashed and the reply was gone. I now try to paraphrase myself.... but I'm sure it is not as perfect as my first reply !)

Yes,
I vaguely remember having thought about this back then (during the design of DoD).

The main reason for this is the old MM game bug that allows Jack to jump over certain smaller closed doors.

To be more precise, this unlikely JS only occurs if a player

a) jumps

on top

of the closed purple door..... and then...
b) jumps further up from there, to the spot where you got stuck.....  and
c) does all this BEFORE he grabs the purple key (otherwise the purple door would immediately open if one tries to jump

over

it).

There's really not much I could do against that game bug (except completely altering the room design).
As I'm otherwise very proud of this unusual room I decided to keep it and leave it as it is.

So it really doesn't happen often - after DoD's 2 or more years of existence you're the first one ever to report this JS.... so I'd rather keep the room and advise people to play

according to the rules

which in this case means: not jump over closed doors !!   8-)  ;-)

BTW: there's no need to remind me of the

rules

for JS's now.... I'm fully aware of them, but I simply feel in cases like this we have to give the room design priority over a potential but improbable JS.
