Physics bug - The invisi-ladder jump

[Sharpie]

Same here Mikee. I haven't managed to perform this jump.

I tried the first time using only one hand... didn't work but with two it did, since you have to run sideways, and then go down-up-jump instantly, it was hard not to say impossible to hit downupspacebar in a single move with one hand...

Vern will fix this - so don't make any mansions where this is needed.

:o Stunning!! Congrats and thx for detecting this bug.

But like my doors in the Whisky Bar (whisky without 'e' because it is Scottish), this feature feels like a bad idea to be used in mansions.

@ brell: Any news from Vern yet?

[brell]

Only that he is aware of this bug and will release a new version soon.

To the original person who reported this bug -- could you turn on movie recording within the game, replicate the bug, and then send me the movie file? That will make it easy for me to fix, and verify that my fix works. :-)

Just set it to

Vern, I've sent you a zip file containing the recording and the mansion, in case it needs it. I'm very sorry for not seeing this post until now.

Got it. Thanks!

I've identified the problem and repeated it myself quite a bit now, so I should be able to fix it.

The ladder-climbing code is some of the most complicated movement code in the game. I remember spending nearly 2 weeks just to get the initial code written the first time around, not to mention bug fixes along the way afterward. So it's tricky, but I'm sure I'll manage.  

Thanks, Rohful, for sending me such a nice package to demonstrate it so well!

Okay, it's fixed now. I should be able to release an update sometime this week, possibly even today.
