Summary0000626: Climbing on ladder takes up too much space, player needs a larger "hatch" to climb up through than he ought to.
DescriptionNormally, the player can fit up through or down into a hole that is 33x33 (actually it just has to be barely over 32x32)

But when on a ladder, the player is "bounced back" about 10 units upon entering climbing mode on the ladder, thus taking up more space in that direction. If you have something like an attic hatch you are climbing up through, instead of being 33x33 it now has to be 33x43 or so.

There may be some reason for this extra space being implemented in Doom 3 by default, such as clipping, room to climb off at the top, etc, but I don't know.

This would appear to be controlled by the following constant in game/physics/physics_player.cpp:

/**
* How far the edge of the player clipbox is away from the ladder
**/
const float LADDER_DISTANCE = 10.0f;

I haven't tried changing this. Easy enough for any coder to do so. Do watch for potential consequences though (test thoroughly!), and definitely don't reduce it to zero.

2.06:

LADDER_DISTANCE doesn't exist

Climbing code was substantially changed for 2787

This appears to be the closest paramter:

/**
* how far away is the player allowed to push out from the climbable section?
* Measured from the last good attachment point at the origin
**/
const float LADDER_DISTAWAY = 15.0f;

but isn't the same behavior.

To account for other physics issues, 39x39 is the smallest hatch.
