So have fired up T3 again and found that even with SneakyUpgrade 1.1.10 an I am still get the jump-stuck-floating pose. I thought this has been fixed years ago, or am I missing a step..?

I'm afraid you are - I've never even attempted to fix it because I don't know how to approach it. I don't think anybody else has found a fix but I'd love to be wrong about that.
Hopefully you're aware of the workaround? Select any arrow, then very briefly draw the bow. That'll get you unstuck, and the draw will be canceled when you let go so you won't waste an arrow. If you draw too far, hit Escape to cancel it.

I didn't know the full details of that work around, so thanks for that.
Regarding the issue, it only happen for me when I try to mantle onto something, T1/2 and TDM have much better manteling so maybe start there..? Or if not that then the player animation..?

The problem is that I don't have the source code and figuring out the mantling mechanics etc. by reversing the binary is very difficult. (Someone get me the source code please. :))

I understand, I think the movement mechanics of this game are the main thing that ruins it. Followed by the terribly low res textures and the wonky Ai animations. If T3 was ever made CC I would attempt to remake it in TDM.

Well known workaround that I've discovered inadvertently. Or if you "fall" from a certain height (stairs, etc...) it might work, you land on your feet and you go again.
But if you don't have any arrow in your gear, you're done. (e.g Thief's rising GE, only blackjack...) Got to reload and sometimes a far save :wot:.... Happened to me like a hundred of times.
Every author should give at least one arrow (like a simple arrow at least) to unblock the frustrating jump issue...
