I tried downloading the version of Tale II on CP and SS (last modified Jan 2008) and looked at the NPCs. On one map (map 4) I found an NPC with picture 1 and palette 7. Was that not meant to be there? Do you still have that corrupted file: do you think the corrupted happened as you browsed it, or was the NPC data corrupted sometime in the distant past? Could I see the game? I just noticed something: NPC definitions are stored on the stack, and since 'st' is the first defined local, they are in fact at the very top of the mapmaker stack frame (recall that the stack grows downwards). Also, Dark Blubber reported "Sometimes when I do a lot of tilemap work and then push Enter to show the full tileset and pick a new tile, one random tile from the tileset is duplicated in the wrong place.". Sure enough, when I checked the source as it was at the time this was reported, the tile picker tile map was also allocated on the stack, immediately after the npc definitions and npc instances (which totalled about 18000 bytes). So I'd guess that NPC instance data is also being corrupted, but nobody has noticed yet because most fields of NPCInst are not saved, or silently corrected in Game, and are not visible unless the NPC exists anyway. -- Configure bugmail: http://rpg.hamsterrepublic.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Ohrrpgce mailing list [email protected] http://lists.motherhamster.org/listinfo.cgi/ohrrpgce-motherhamster.org
