Name: [Sprite] Light Bug
Author & Submitted by: wiiqwertyuiop
Description: When you touch this sprite it will die and the screen will get darker. Here is a video.
Reason of removal:
I have to wonder if you ever actually test your submissions. This is the so-manieth removal regarding your submissions.
Nevertheless, I'll tell you exactly what's wrong with this sprite. Two of the three are pretty easy to notice, really.
They're pretty small bugs, but it's vital to fix them.
1. Of MoveLight.asm (the one which isn't stationary), the one which doesn't use the extra bit has a small, easy-to-notice bug.
As you hit it, the screen becomes much darker than otherwise. Instead of the brightness decreasing by two, it decreases by four.
Why is this? Well, it's because you run the two DEC $0DAE's twice. There's a missing RTS between these two pieces of code:
Code JSL $019138
JSL $018022
JSR Adresses
; <- this place needs an RTS
Hi:
JSL $01A7DC
Add the RTS so this bug is fixed.
2. If the brightness gets too low, it can wrap over to get a value of #$FF, #$FD, etc.
This is absolutely forbidden, as it makes the game glitchy.
Not only are you enabling F-blank (which however, in itself, is rather harmless), as soon as you die/finish the level, the brightness is decreased until it hits zero.
That means it takes a long time before the level transition is done - a lot of black screen frames, and eight times does the screen flicker from light to dark prior to the level transition.
Very unusual and ugly. Fix it. How? Well, make a check to make sure $0DAE doesn't get any lower than zero.
And furthermore, not really a removal reason, but this is really a note to take:
When the player dies, the sprites keep animating and moving.
This is very ugly, as no sprite should be doing this - aside of a slight bug with the shelless Koopas, does SMW ever do that?

New version gives me an error when inserting. (MoveLight.cfg)
CodePass 1
Pass 2
Error in 192.1/157: Symbol does not exist
Pass 3
Error in 192.1/157: Symbol does not exist
Apparently, the "symbol" in question is this:
CodeLDA TILEMAP2,x
STA $0302,y
That label does not exist. To be frank, I would've fixed this myself and resubmitted it, since I do not like removing the same file twice.
However, I have no idea what this tilemap should actually become. Should it be the same as TILEMAP:, or should it be a different tilemap altogether?
Please fix that for the last time. Works fine otherwise.
