Summary0010943: Incorrect appearance locations after defeating Central Wastes boss.
DescriptionAfter you defeat the Central Waste boss at 096, the portal sends you back to 007 (Central Wastes Main). A script at main called BossComplete is supposed to warp you to SUBLEVEL J 572 573, which is on the right-hand side of the screen. This small room full of bones has a wall that disappears, giving you access to the post-boss goodies.

Earlier today, I found that defeating the boss placed Darrell in the wrong part of this screen, but not a predictable place like the FG origin title. And just now, I found that defeating the boss sends me to screen I instead of J, with both characters appearing on strange tiles!

I don't see why it's broken -- it was working when I originally set it up. Can you look over the logic?

You don't need to do the sublevel warp thing. That's the very wrong approach. You have to have a portal that is there from the start, linking the levels, or else all the metadata between the levels does not work right. Also the marker for the level has to be there from the start if you want them to be able to do it repeatedly.

This also affects where the players respawn. To make the portal not appear right from the start, you have to hide it until the conditions of boss being killed are met, not the other way around.

In this case a lot of the problem was that I accidentally put in and left an AlternateEntrance as well. I've taken that out now, though. It should now behave more predictably for you. You'll want to shift your sublevel code off of Main onto sublevel I, because that's where the portal (appropriately) now drops you.

Okay, these scripts are all fixed up!

* Fixed up the exit from the boss in the central wastes not granting you the green/blue life gems properly.
