Odd (bug?) in AE

i found this strange but yet cool(?) bug in AE. It´s a downward arrow with an upward sprite on it, and abe cant crouch while standing under it. the ps version. enjoy.

it's to show the place where he has to croutch, no?

No, its to show where he has to jump to the next screen. I've tried the same thing on the PC and there was no bug.

you´re supposed to press up to climb up a ledge, however, you cant crouch. thats the awesome bug. it only exists in the ps version.

What bug? I see two signs. One has an upward arrow, where the player has to press up to jump up to the next screen. The other has a downward arrow, where the player has to press down to climb down to the next screen.

Yeah, but on that screen Abe can't jump high enough to reach
any screen above. You just make him go right to enter the next
screen.

ps-players, if you´re up for a bug, just try standing at that exact spot and press down.

Alright, later since I intended to plug back in my PS1, I'll give it
quick go. Besides I like passing the normal limits of games and
finding out what normal players wouldn't.

that´s the spirit!

I see what Zebulon is saying, now. I’ll have to give it a go when I go home.

Eh? Sure he can jump high enough. How else can he get from MIP01C05 to MIP01C10?

Unless I'm missing something where Abe was standing in the mines in that
picture, he just had to walk into the next screen.

***Wil*** · #12 12-08-2006, 06:18 AM

No, from there he needs to go up. He’s just come in from the right. To the left is the first game screen.

Maybe the fact Abe can't crouch there is something to do with the ledge you can climb down directly below that spot? No such other combination exists anywhere else in the game, so maybe it's a coding effect.
I presume you can still roll onto that spot though.

That arrow is pointing up, not down. It's showing where Abe has to jump in order to climb a ledge above him.
