Thanks a mil for the detailed reply!

So, i'm using the NewDark 1.27 atm with the EasyLiving 1.1 version of this FM.
And while the door issue is fixed, it seems that the rope arrows do not stick in any wood surface.
I can hear the sound of them been deployed after firing, but no rope is shown to climb.
Other than that the level works fine.
Thanks again.
