Thank you for such a detailed bug report. It is always helpful when trying to bugfix.
These tables have gotten so large and fixed over the months, that going line by line is hardly an option. I usually have to just disable large chunks of code until the issue stops, then I can narrow it down to what's causing the issue. The problem with this method though is that it requires the issue to be repeatable, which is not always the case. Worst case scenario, I just have to make good guesses.
With your highly detailed report I think I can find it easily. At worse, I have some guesses in mind.
I'm not certain, but I think it might have something to do with the allied Marines. I finally got past the area, but I did so by killing all of the Marines as they left their cells (before they could pick up any weapons). With only the
Max Health/Shields enabled, I can't imagine how they could be affected, but the game didn't crash and I was able to clear the rest of the level with ease (thanks to your wonderful table).
Thank you for the excellent work.
I have noticed another issue, though, which Pumatic mentioned just above:

Really love your tables!
I'm having trouble with one option though. I've used it a lot previously but recently it has stopped working as expected. Since table 15.
Using 17 now. The flight/noclip no longer seems to allow me to move up/down. Regardless of whether I'm using the default or different bindings.
If I jump before turning it on, I'll continue to move in that direction but that's all. It has worked once as it used to at the start of The Oracle mission but not since. Any ideas if this is something I'm doing wrong or is it something you're aware of?
Specifically on the mission "Regret", I can use the
Flight/Noclip at the beginning exactly as intended, but as soon as I get to the end of the first gondola ride (just before the first elevator) it glitches. It'll maintain my altitude and continue to clip, but it won't allow me to rise or drop.
I tried disabling the cheat before getting to the checkpoint and re-enabling later in the mission, but no luck. I also tried enabling it only after hitting that checkpoint with no change. Reloading the game to a checkpoint after appears to make no difference, either.
At various points throughout, I ended up with the same exact symptoms of Pumatic, too. First time I encountered it was the result of a clipping issue at that checkpoint where things seem to break with it. Somehow, the "no clip" glitch and I got shot up into the sky. Afterwards, anytime I turned on the
Flight/Noclip cheat before restarting the game and table would have the character shooting towards the stars like a rocket.
Other attempts at using it during that level "Regret" saw it glitching where the character would be constantly moving in a direction, without any control from the player.
I never tried jumping and turning it on while in mid-jump as Pumatic did, but it appears that the slightest clip glitch will override the direction controls offered by the table.
I did use it on a couple of other levels without any issue, but they were primarily for small areas to skip sections whereas on "Regret" it's basically half the mission time. xD
