I made this fix a lot of time ago for the next version of RubberWorm.
This is just a quick hack that prevents the infamous jetpack bug to happen with teststuff5, battyrope, and teststuff3, no way to set it on/off. It won't cause desynch with normal games though, if other players don't have this dll.

This is awesome!
However! Not everyone needs to have this module, but only players who have it will not run into j/p bug? Others still will, I understand this correctly?

Well, yes, I guess it's pretty obvious.
Off course this is a case of you driving with a clean exhaust while the guy driving in front of you is driving on coal :-/
ps: I added this fix to the rubberworm ZIP package on my site, hope this will get added in more rubberworm download places!

When you use Jet Pack in a game that uses Teststuff Version 5 and the players turn ends while they are on the Jet Pack, the Jet Pack won't disengage rendering the game impossible to continue because the game waits for the Jet Pack to disengage before continuing to the next players turn.

as i pointed out in the Worms wiki (http://worms2d.info/JetFix), there's a little glitch in this module
the behaviour of a worm flying in mid-air is the same as a roping worm, when the turn ends: it can land correctly if its vertical speed is not too high. The correct behaviour would be that the worm starts rolling, and so can never land properly, without slipping. Since this work-around was originally intended to be inlcuded in RubberWorm, it will be fixed in the next version of RW.

Nice one. This module can save many TestStuff games. *THUMBS UP*
