Weird Glitch After Today's Patch
« on: May 19, 2012, 11:14:45 am »
Hi All,

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right place, but after doing today's beta patch i seem to be experiencing a weird bug.

For some odd reason i cannot jump when standing on generated 'ladders'. Is anybody else having the same issue, or am I just a clueless n00b who missed out on something  :P

Thanks.
I'm probably typing this on my phone. Sorry if it seems short or disjointed :(

If you could upload a copy of your world here so I can see it, that would be great!

If you don't know where it is, look in your install directory, then Runtimedata/Worlds/ and there will be a directory with the name of your world, if you could zip that and post it here, I'd appreciate it.

Same issue here as well. Brand new game after the update and I can't jump off platforms provided, only the wood platforms I can place.

Opened your save. My computer wept. Switched to the ST planet and ship icons filled my screen, so I zoomed out. Game told me that it _was_ totally zoomed out. You could seriously walk from one end of the inner grav well to the other without getting your feet cold.

No expectations here :) Didn't think a bug with severe gameplay implications would be left living long  ;)

Anywho, thumbs-up!!

May I ask how that one happened? It's a pretty weird one.

It's complicated, but was related to how some collision logic was shortcutting determining if an object was touching the ground.  Great for performance, but this was an edge case oversight I missed -- regular entity-based top solid platforms were working.
