I think there is a bug in the Mac 3.1 version. I transferred my data files to a windows machine and easily completed the room using the advice of Curious Shy Rabbit and the windows 3.1 version. I then transferred the data files back to my Mac and completed the other rooms on that level. I hope this will help other Mac version users. I suppose that it would still be nice to hear if another Mac version user has the same problem, but I strongly suspect that will be the case. Hopefully who ever is involved in the problems with this version will look at this issue.

Thanks

It's not exactly a Mac-specific bug. The deal is that the Mac patch is really something in between 3.1.0.54 and 3.1.1.55, so includes some newer code that wasn't in other 3.1 patches. And apparently that includes this bug.

Looks like the explosion is being cancelled out on the door tiles, so the aumtlich survives and kills Beethro.

Schep, are you saying this room will be impossible for everyone when 3.1.1.55 is made official?

(If so, I would like to contact the architect and have him start working on an update as soon as possible.)

No, this doesn't look intentional. Actually, if bombs and doors work that way, it could break 2.0 rooms, so this definitely needs to be fixed.

I'm trying out a change that fixes this room. But I'd like to test it more. Can anybody recommend a hold that features interaction of explosions with lots of different elements in rooms that are easy to reach?

I need to double-check here: is this the same bomb bug that TFMurphy posted a patch for this month, or something else?
