Some rather annoying issues I can't figure out how to fix

[playingwithwilly]

I'm using JSWED with the JSW64 "]" configuration. It looks perfectly fine in the editor, but during gameplay the third tile is replaced with black, and, I'm unsure if this is an engine limitation, but if a tile is set to be air and not water it is covered by a large square when Willy walks to it. I've also noticed the formerly horizontal beams are replaced with the vertical beam tile.

In the Editor:

Game Running:

Please note Willy is set to be blue in this room, so him being that color is not a problem.

I'm wondering if this could be traced back to a slightly corrupted original file? Loading the file in FUSE instead of EmuZWin leads to this:

The file I used for editing (and converted to JSW64) was one that had the code entry system pre-nullified.

The 'code' code shouldn't effect it unless its done something silly perhaps such as moving things around. Its only a couple of bytes to change the 'starting' code to jump to the title screen or (better) remove it and replace it with three instructions, leaving some free space plus emptying out the codes area, the latter I tend to do just looks neater somehow.

I've not used the 64/128 variants much sorry, however others here have so hopefully a better reply will be along shortly. 🙂 For the immediate moment can you carefully verify you've not re-used a tile colour for a different cell type ? As in (a bad example) setting both 'air' and 'fire' to the same ink/paper.

 

EDIT... Welcome too!

About the large square what turns blue when Willy walks to it, please try to change Ink and Paper, in example if Ink is 6 and Paper is 0, change them to Ink 0 and Paper 6. Then you can decide which one is better for your purposes.

About the latter problem, it looks like what Spider said, you have used the same Ink/Paper colour combination for cells 9 and A, both cells being Ink dark red/Paper black (or vice versa). If that´s the case, please try the following.

cell 9 Ink 6 / Paper 0

cell A Ink 0 / Paper 6

The other cell will turn to dark red square when Willy touches it, but at least you can get both tiles visible. 🙂 

Though, sometimes the engine lets you use the same Ink/Paper combinations for more than one cell. For this, you just have to try that in every room, if you can use certain colour combinations more than once.

Set the third unit to 2/0, ninth to 0/2 and tenth to 2/0 and it's working pretty well. Thanks.
