If the player starts a map in an elevator tagged sector (18 or 19) the elevator no longer automatically triggers and activates

E2L3 is broke
(luckily the use button can still trigger the elevator, but it's supposed to start automatically)

(It only works in E1L2 because that elevator has a master switch and touchplate)

the last working snapshot was r7839
the next snapshot in the synthesis is r7842, and it does not work

Someone told Duke that the elevators are broke so he's trying to help them out.

[Forge]

E2L3 is still broke using 20190827-8052

elevators do not automatically start when the player's start position is in them

[Forge]

Warp Factor E2L3 is still broke using r8075

the elevator at the beginning still does not automatically activate.

[Forge]

the elevator at the start of E2L3 doesn't automatically activate using r8090

[Forge]

appears to be fixed with r8122

[ViDi]

r8738, r8751
E2L3 (Warp Factor) lift is broken again, the same issue - doesn't automatically start.

Issue caused by jump-related code changes in player.cpp.

First introduced by r7841:

Make it easier to jump into vents

Coincidentally fixed by r8119:

This should help with some of the player movement fuckery
This fixes the bug that let you jump through the ticket booth window in E1L1 and the problems jumping into vents when run mode is disabled.

Re-introduced by r8737:

Fix IF crouch jumping and unintentional automatic crouching under sprites

This is still broken, right?

I was watching a playthrough of AA and an elevator in a very old map was broken. I'm trying to ascertain whether it's this bug or a different EDuke32 bug.

Warp Factor elevator works fine in current AA (r8642), but it was broken previously.

[Danukem]

But I wasn't asking about the older r8642. Your own post above said that elevators got re-broken after that.

[ViDi]

I'm confused.
I guess the best way to find out is to play that map on certain snapshots.

[Danukem]

Can confirm auto-starting elevators such as the one E2L3 are broken as of r8791

This was reported on March 14th and there have been quite a few revisions since then.

[Danukem]

Still broken in r8811.

Last good version is still r8642 AFAIK.

I can't update to a newer version and take advantage of improvements such as sloped sprites while things are broken. I made the mistake of updating the .exe for a version of AA a while back without checking on the elevator thing, and sure enough I started getting bug reports about the broken elevators on the AA discord.

[TerminX]

I'm aware of the problem and will be looking at fixing it sometime soon.

[TerminX]

Fixed, please let me know if it breaks anything.
