Everything has been going pretty good so far working on my game.. All my banks seem fine at the moment.. I'm working on my 3rd stage which isn't done yet and should look like this:
1glitch.png

But when I start the game it looks like this:
2glitch.png

Then I noticed level 4 and 5 are doing the same graphical glitch and they use completely different tiles.

This glitch seems to be pulling tiles from different tiles in the game.. the first 2 levels are fine but every level after that seems to glitch.. what in the world could be causing this?

UPDATE:

- It has nothing to do with my post screen load because I removed it just to see since i've been editing that.
- Tried turning off the music and unchecking any flags that were on.. nada.
- Tried switching banks on overworld screen when I create a new room.. same results.
- It's every time I create a new room it does this for every new screen now.. uh ohhhhh

Are there any screens with a different tile set on the same row or scrolling screens?
Do you have a detailed (8x8) screen before this one loads?
Are the screens on underworld map or overworld?

Can't think what would cause that tbh.

The entire row has the same tile set as the first screen on the row.

No scrolling screens though.

Everything is on the overworld.

I even tried starting on the glitches screens to see if it was coming from a bigger screen. But they glitch no matter what...

I know... such a bummer.. wondering if I need to download a fresh version of 4.5.9. And start all over again... I’ve never had this problem before. So random

you wouldnt have to start over, just copy the mst file to the project folder, and copy the game engine data and graphics folder over to the new version of nesmaker a delete the new ones

Thanks! I’ll try that if it comes down to it. I’ll fiddle with it a little more just to see and then do that if I can’t find a solution.

Bizarre. I installed a fresh version of 4.5.9. and still does it with my game, which leads me to believe it's something I did with the file.. I'm going to guess it's because I rearranged the monster and object sprites.. but I could've swore I fixed everything.. there's something i'm missing for sure.. going to try a couple more things.. if it doesn't work, i'll start over again.. luckily i have all of my pixels and scripts.. just going to take a day or so to start it over again.. the woes of nesmaker!

EDIT: Went back to my Carpet Shark project.. added a new room just to see if it did it then.. but it doesn't.. definitely something i screwed up in my new game.. i'll fix it eventually..

Any chance you are going from a 16x16 screen to an 8x8 screen or vice versa? I had that problem and adding a screen with just black in between fixed it.

I am, but I tried every kind of buffer screen between the two screens like I normally would to no change.. I even place the player on the screen to start on the glitched screen and it glitches from the start. I plan on fixing it all this weekend by starting over.. luckily it shouldn't take forever, I hope.. or I might bring my laptop with me after i'm done with a job today to work on it.

Interesting developments... if I export the map, monsters, game objects, etc... it’ll still glitch.... if I repaint the screens it’ll still glitch... if I export just the palettes alone and nothing else (then put the sprites in the folder) it still glitches.... wtf... this is the most bizarre thing ever

^Look at BckCHR_02 .... I never noticed it was the wrong size... my game was working all this time without glitching until I got to the 3rd level... I don’t know how..

I made it to this size in Exhibit B and it all works now! I don’t have to start all over again!!!! This made my day! Woooooo!:
