TR 3 Other bugs:
The River Ganges, and Nevada Desert: The wavering rocks. So the rocks and platforms in contact with the water sometimes do wave. Sender: peterx
" City" savegame-texture bug (Sender: (Nephili TRC-Forums)
After loading the City level I encountered this bug:
<--Granny Raider :) LOL
"Lud's Gate" shortcut (Sender: MMAN TRC-Forums),
The shortcut is at the area where the first secret is (where the overlook
the "stealth" room). Basically if you do a dive in the right
place you can get right over the barb wire and down into the stealtharea.
This might seem great, but there is a problem, the guard you have to kill for the door key you use ages later (I've forgot the name of it ) is not triggered and therefore you get completely stuck, if you head for the "normal" entrance to the room (so you can go back a little to make him appear) it closes right in your face (BTW the diver is just frozen there and doesn't do anything without the other guard existing But perhaps someone could try this and do some "research" to see if they could find a possible way to use this shortcut AND get to the guard.
Here's the video; I screw around a bit then kill myself:
"Crash Site" -- Stucking into the airplane... (Sender: Sch)
The Savegame.6 is the situation what I mentioned already: Lara gets stuck into the airplane's "conk" with a running jump. I took the screenshots here. I've just found the second: she gets stuck here too with a running jump.
TR3 - "Jungle" -- Strange gunshots... (Sender: Jani)
We're in "Jungle" from TR3, where we have to flood the area.
If Lara's shooting with Her pistols in the small pool, the spent cartridges
won't interference the water below, as the gravitation would work. They will
find a place in between; yes in between, because they don't make waves below,
and they don't make waves above either at the new level of the water, after
we've flooded the area. Maybe there's some kind of on invisible platform up
there, because if Lara jumps up with pistols in Her hands, She will bounce
down and holsters the guns. This is visible on the second picture. I take
it that the Creators wanted much more things into the game, when They started
developing TR3, so this thing stayed in the game as a glitch. (It doesn't
work with all versions!)
"Nevada Desert" -- Bug-Collection... (Sender: Jani)
The saves and the pictures are in the same order.
1. Lara stucked into the waterfall and She's jumping inside it. You can free
Her by the CTRL-button.
2. She's sliding in the water, although She's standing.
3. The step-dancer.
4. You can trigger the previous two bugs by Yourself too, if You jump into
the water and then quickly swim up onto the surface. You should let Her flowing
towards Her back.
5. The killer gate. The system is unelectrified, but if You do a "crawling
corner bug", then Lara will burn.
Lud's Gate: The frogman bug. (Sender: Jani)
It's possible to get behind the observing frogman, and he won't notice this. Climbing up and "touching" the frogman after loading the saved game will cause sudden death for Lara. However not always occurs this sad event. As I observed, it happens when the frogman is looking towards the right. I managed to do that 4 times in 20 minutes, approximately, but I made some screenshots by using Paint during that time-period. It's visible from the saved game that Lara is so healthy. However it's also noticable that She has no health at all, on the screens. The guard below couldn't shoot Lara, because that needs time, and the frogman is on his original place. And he immediately leaves his place after the alert. It's not possible to make a savegame about the event itself, because Lara's health goes away by a millisecond.Savegame:
A few entharlling pics from Lara's Home. One of them is the "wall" bug: I was running quite at a pace, jumped at the end of the stairs while turning sideways while in the air ... and I just fell into the wall. On the top of that, I could not escape by making use of any means I know. If we move on, we can easily be taken by surprise by fishes floating around in the air. :-)
You can beat the level in a few seconds by the help of this most interesting bug. And before you can also look around on the top of the trees. Download

"Temple Ruins" - The impenetrable doors
("savebug" & "door bug")...
This is a well known bug, and the 1.1-patch fixes this problem: "2. "Invisible
doors" in Level 2. (A.K.A. the Level 2 bug)". The "savebug"
activates the "door bug"; for instance, first, open the two cross
to doors, and after, return back to the first Shiva statue's room. Then save
and load the game anywhere, and the bug will be activated: we can't pass through
the opened doors! Altough, we can close and reopen the left door, but after
a save and a load again, the door will be impenetrable again. This bug refers
to the small pool's underwater door, and to probably several other doors too....(SYS)

"Coastal
Village"--- Getting into the ground
(Special "block bug")... (Discovered by Rommie from www.tombraiderforums.com,
Profile: http://www.tombraiderforums.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile;u=00006878)
To get the bug walk to the edge of the block and take a standing jump forward.
Hold down forward and action and she will fall though the floor. She will
shift forward and appear on the ground a few seconds later.
It also works on the opposite side of the block, for that side you must walk
to the edge, crouch, then do a standing jump forward and grab.
How did I find this bug?? Well it was the result of trying to play TR at 5
in the morning. lol.
Short remark (SYS): Thanks for the bug Rommie, I've never seen a glitch like this earlier... :)
Crash Site: You can defeat the T-Rex with your small guns and the raptors will turn to water-dinos. Download
Step back for a run-up, make a jump forward, and Lara will find herself stuck into the slide-way. Download
Madubu Gorge: You can travel on the rocks by kayak. You can make many shortcuts withthe help of this bug but... you can't finish the level without the kayak.. Download
The "Madubu Gorge" level still holds surprises.
Lara has a super kayak, which has a negative "friction factor",
as it seems. Due to this, She can go rowing up to the high rocks of the waterfalls,
with no problem. The view is a bit different up there, so She's away from
Her famished "LTG"-party band. And it's also possible to go back
to the waters with piranhas, before getting this 2nd kayak.
(Namely: "LTG" means "Local Tough Guys") :-)) Download
Still Madubu Gorge: Though made with level editor my big dream finally came true – I managed to get to the other side of the river! Download
Madubu Gorge - The invisible platform... Close to the 2nd Secret, you can find a triangular shaped, invisible platform...just shimmy to the right continuously, instead of releasing the action button, above is the wooden platform! The 1st save is before the Secret, just press ALT+BACK, then grab the rock ledge and shimmy to the right. The 2nd save is when Lara is standing on the invisible platform. This bug is accessible through normal game-play.. Download
High Security Compound: Make Lara crouch and you'll find yourself in a weird situation. You have to remove the radar on the top and fall into the water through the gap. Try not to get too close to the turbine and avoid the stream that would carry you along. There's a place where you can climb out of the water. You are supposed to jump forward here but if you turn back and look at the water you'll notice a corridor in the corner. Jump in, swim to the corridor and pick up the small medipack. You'll find yourself close to the guard. So you can get here in a regular way. And here comes the trick. Climb out of the water go to the guard and let him notice you. "Hey!" - and he starts shooting. Run to the left where the guard was walking and disappear from his sight (you have to run to the corner, the one with the window from which you can see the water). If you stand here the guard wouldn't care about you. He runs up and down, he can see you but won't attack. Wait till he starts to run round and round. Save the game and reload it - this will raise the probability of your success. (Although I once managed to finish the trick even without reloading.) Run to the guard and let him catch sight of you. He'll shoot but pay no attention, just start running around him. Shortly after that he'll be paralyzed and won't move anymore. If it doesn't work for the first time run back to the corner and start over from saving and reloading. (Sys) (Thx Pete) Download
High Security Compound: Lara sticks to one of the prisoners and you can rotate her on the prisoner's butt by using the arrow keys. There are several "stick to the ceiling" bugs in this level. Download
Area 51: Made by a save-game editor but still interesting. You can go back to the base in the shallow water. A bit hard but feasible. Download
"Coastal Village" - The disappearing killed cannibal...This is a well known and frequent bug, but for completeness and for curiosity, it must be mentioned... So here is a simple example: just make Lara walk forward and the dead cannibal will disappear right from our sight! (SYS) Download
Thames Wharf: Instead of spending two hours in this level you can finish it in five minutes. It's impossible to find all the secrets this way (and get the bonus level) but it's interesting. Download
Thames Wharf - The immobile crystal... You don't need to use the "Flue Room Key", because Lara is able to jump from the raised easel to the platform, that can be accessed a bit later, by sliding down onto it. When you load the first save, you don't need to change Lara's trajectory, while she is in the air...so just make a running jump to reach the platform! Then make a single jump to enter the hallway...and then the crystal wouldn't move and Lara will be able to go through it! But if you make a "jump-back" and sliding down, before entering into this hallway, the crystal will be rotating and acts out as usual. This bug is accessable through normal game-play... ..Download
Aldwych: Lara moves to the rhythm. Load the saved game, don't touch the keyboard and wait till the thug starts hitting his palm with the club. Download
I just walked towards the guy and Lara unexpectedly got stuck. Looks like some kind of dating pose, doesn't it. :))))Download
Lud's Gate The Flying Bug. Discovered in TR3 by Jason King. Works in TR3, Lud's Gate. Ever wanted to fly around in a level? Thanks to Jason King it's possible, but only in one level in TR3. You need the UPU (Under water Propulsion Unit) to pull this one off. Jason originally found this trick on PSX, but it works just as well on PC. Don't know about the Mac, maybe one of you Mac-users can tell me? The trick was first performed while Lara was on the surface, but it works just as well when Lara is under water.You can use this trick to fly around on the UPU, or to drive the UPU under water without loosing any air. There's one catch, enemies can still hurt Lara, but she can't fire any harpoons to defend herself. Also steering the UPU after you made the trick work is a bit awkward.I found the following way to do the trick the easiest: Steer the UPU against a wall, release Alt (square on PSX), shortly hit End (circle) and emediately press Alt (square) again. If the trick worked, the air-meter will stop going down.If Lara doesn't do anything, you probably hit End a little too soon after releasing Alt. If Lara lets go of the UPU, you hit End too late, you kept pressing End too long, or you hit the Alt key too late. The timing of hitting the keys is essential. Download
Aldwych - Getting stuck into the corner... Lara acts very strangely at one of the corners of the puddle in this room. Load the first save...you can force her into the corner - almost like a "corner bug" -, so that she never will be able to get out (2nd save)! Then load the 3rd save and press a BACK...now Lara is in the mud, upside-down (4th & 5th saves)...but at least She can get out from this trouble.....Download
"Antarctica" & "RX-Tech Mines" - Surviving in the icy water (savebug)... It's just for the completeness again. As we know, if we save the game in the cold water, and then reaload it, the "freeze-line" of Lara will be set to the maximum, and will start the decreasing from there, again....(SYS) Download
Lost City of Tinnos: Made with editor, it enables us to scrutinize the area extending under the bridge. Download
Lost City Of Tinnos -- The "unpickable" large medipack under the spiked barrel (From the Traveler's Guide) "There is no legitimate way to collect this large Medi Pack, but Lara can attain it by employing the clipping bug. When the spiked barrel comes to a rest, it will no longer be dangerous. Head toward one corner of the spiked barrel and run at the barrel and take running jumps. Soon Lara will land in the space at the corner. Angle back toward the Medi Pack and continue to take running jumps and Lara will begin to pass through the barrel. Soon she will be close enough to grab the large Medi Pack (38), bringing the total number of pickups to 38. If Lara pops out of the barrel on the far side after picking up the Medi Pack, use the same method to work her way back." Download

Bug with the weapons (Discovered by Dr.Uhu)
I've got a code for TR3! It's easy to do it and You can do it as many times
in the game as You want. You need a large place for this trick. Draw a weapon
what Lara hold on Her back, and then put it away. Then press the CRAWL-button,
the SPACE, and the UP Cursor Key at once. Lara will be convulsing and soon
the weapon will appear in Her right hand (You can't shoot with it). Release
SPACE and the other keys. Choose another weapon from Lara's back in the Inventory.
Now they are combined. My favourites are the MP5 and the Rocket Launcher.
Some comments (by SYS)... Thanks for the stuff, Uhu! I analyzed the bug, and
I have to report that it works - it's very cool! But I can admit one thing:
You can use an invisible (invisible MP5 for example) weapon too. For this,
do the following steps... 1. Do the same what Uhu told, with MP5 ("6"-key)
for instance, so force the MP5 into a "passive mode". 2. Now DON't
combine it with another weapon, but simply press the "1"-key to
draw the pistols, and the MP5 will disappear from Lara's hand. 3. Now press
the "6"-key to draw the invisible MP5, and She even will be able
to shoot with it too... Naturally, it works with the other weapons too...
It could be quite interesting to trying the bug with the other TR-episodes
- to know, how it works in those episodes...
