I'm makin a simple platformer in MMF2 and ive created my player using the default platform-engine and I've made backdrops but the stupid active object doenst seem to be able to stand on these, even though ive tried setting them both as obstacles and as platforms. What might my problem be?
Having backdrops set as platforms should allow your guy to jump up from below it and stand on them fine, that's weird.
I would definitely suggest that you look into making a custom platform movement. It might be a little hard to get exactly how you want it, but it will pay off in the long run.

Ladders can be done in many different ways, too. The simplest way is probably to test if the selected object overlaps with the ladder object, and the user is pressing the up key, then set additional Y velocity to -100 or another negative value, also set the maximum Y velocity to 0. Set additional Y velocity to 0 when the user is not pressing the up key, and set the maximum Y velocity to it's default value again. Also do the same when pressing down on a ladder.
