As promised, this mod will in short amount of time be set to Unlisted, since it appears to be now officially included in Levitation together with other fixes inside the new update and thus the problem was solved and this addon is no longer needed.

If you wish to play Levitation, then I will recommend to disable this mod to avoid any possible compatibility issues, considering this version of the script is already included.

You can still use and share this mod on personal basis, but I do not wish to keep it public for use in other maps, as bugs of this kind should be fixed by the creator of that specific mod, instead of having to rely on another third party modification - This could result in very unpleasant situations, if this mod was for instance no longer available or it was no longer functional in the future, and would affect every mod relying on it.

hmm this seems to be a problem with levitation itself, as i saw another comment having their progress reset on dig deep regardless of this mod

can also confirm it loaded map from the beginning (replacing my upgrades and resin), also reset my control preferences

it does seem to work though

thnx for fixing valves issue

guess that helps, wont feel the same but, thanks i guess

Hey,

I'm unsure how that would relate to this mod, but if you wish to respawn the gnome at any time, then you can do so with a command "ent_create prop_physics {model models/props/choreo_office/gnome.vmdl}".

I do not know if the mod checks for the model or for the name of the entity, so in case of the latter, you can also add: "ent_create prop_physics {model models/props/choreo_office/gnome.vmdl targetname gnome" (with the 'gnome' at the end being replaced with the correct name)

now loading a save game takes me to the start of the chapter, thanks for ruining my gnome run

Yeah, seconding that this fix should remain up unless Valve fix the underlying issue. It's just nice to have around. Thanks, CementStairs!

I think the dev of this bug fix meant he's leaving the bugfix up until VALVE fixes the bug in HLA.

I've encountered this bug with various maps in the workshop. Why not consider leaving this up even once the bug is fixed in your map so that people can utilise it in the future with other levels?

Hmm, I did try this and it's not working for me 🤔

And for that exact reason I always suggest to creators to upload a fresh copy of their addon when it's time for final release. Levitation and Loco-Motive each had a media buzz surrounding them so they easily popped into the front page popular maps scroll, but I've seen other maps suffer from this and end up with low sub counts as a result. To all creators, the first impression is the most important and visibility is key.

I believe that's because Levitation was uploaded to the Workshop as Unlisted before it was released to the public, so it could be tested by playtesters and it could be ensured everything worked correctly.

Here'e something weird, I sort the HLA workshop maps by RECENT every day to check for new maps, and Levitation never showed up, until today after I saw this fix and subscribed, and searched for Levitation and subscribed. Anyway, thanks for this, I had this problem on other maps.

Good idea as this was a problem I had with one I am almost finished playing which had this problem pop up near the end of it.
