I've been making a level for the past month in which I've been using the wind-up beetle from the Cleopal wad. Everything has been going fine until recently I found that if Lara uses the beetle but then goes into another room before she picks it up, and then you save and reload the game, the beetle disappears. Not only does this mean you don't have the beetle to use anymore in the level, but the monkey swing and climbing bits no longer work. This is a real pain as my level depends on having the beetle to get from one place to the next. Has anyone else come across this bug (no pun intended!)?

Yes I had this to in my Black Palace level that is already a year old. I found out that Lara can not climb while the beetle is in use. Did not test it with monkey or with saving and loading. I guess you will have to skip the puzzle you have in mind

I feel your pain. I have already been in such bad situations, too. You have worked so long and then there is a bug that make the level - bad. But I think if you tell the players this (with a readme file or something) you can go on.

That's not a solution, I know, only my opinion .

Well I think I can tweak the level somehow so that I can keep some of what I've done. I think as long as Lara can't leave a room without picking up the beetle it might still work but it does limit its use overall, which is a shame. But having thought about it I can't remember any climbing or monkey swings in the actual Cleopatra Palaces level - perhaps even Core found they had to work round this bug too?! If so it would have been helpful if they had mentioned it in the manual!
