I experience from time to time some weird rope issue.
When I go down with a rope and do some things, somethimes can't climb back up again. When I try jump on rope, I am repelled over and over.
It does not happen that often (maybe 1/10) but still. If this happens, players will need to load an earlier save.
Someone experienced something similar ?

I had only experienced something similar in Thief 1/G but not in Thief 2. Although I didn't have any problems with trying to jump onto the rope again.

I'm having this problem with placed ropes in Thief 2 (seems a bit more in NewDark, but it also does it in OldDark too). It's like the ropes are made of rubber and you bounce off of them at a great amount of speed. This mostly for me results in killing the player. It doesn't happen every time though. I'm not sure what causes this.

I remember this bug in a fan mission (Volcano Island Prison Facility). There's a setting in the game menu to touch ladders (instead of jumping). This should fix the problem, even with ropes

This bug has been around since the OMs. I don't recall every hearing of a fix, but maybe Una's idea will work, I don't know.

I'll give that a shot. Hopefully, that will prevent the bug.

That seems to fix it so far. I've better make sure that I put in info about this in the read me file for TROTB2. There are a few required ropes to climb on.

Nope. It still happens. :(

I just placed one in a test mission and it's not giving me any problems. All I can suggest is ensuring it's not too close to a wall, and that the player won't bump into objects while on the rope. You could also try removing any complicated architecture nearby if it's creating cell splits that a climbing player will pass through.

I just explored that area with the rope in Volcano Island Prison Facility. I didn't see anything until I used show_phys_models
There's a resized tree in the upper area close to the rope which doesn't have the dimensions it should have. So check the dimensions of the objects near the rope.
show_phys_models
is your friend ;)
