In the 4.5, there is a small issue, the loading palette is done differently than the previous version, causing the screen 1st color always been rewritten by the Player 1st color (the transparent color #0):
(my screen uses the 0C color as 1st color)
(my player uses the 15 color as transparent color)
The issue, on every screens, the screen 1st color is always 15:
Here's a quick fix to change that "intended behavior",:
1) Open the Windows Explorer, then in your "NESmaker" folder, navigate to the "GameEngineData\Routines\BASE_4_5\Game\DataLoadScripts" subfolder. Make a new file and name it "LoadSpritePalettes_NMI_DC.asm" for example (you could duplicate the "LoadSpritePalettes_NMI.asm" and modify it).
Then, modify that new "LoadSpritePalettes_NMI_DC.asm" script and replace with that code:
2) In NESmaker, open the "Project Settings > Script Settings" and assign the new "LoadSpritePalettes_NMI_DC.asm" to the "Load Sprite Palettes" element (under "Subroutines"):
Voilà, now the screen 1st color overwrite the player 1st color:
But, this new behavior could cause other issues... it needs to be more tested.
