:/ I get what you mean, but I would really want to keep all the entities in the original.
That's kinda the point of my (developing) mod.
So... Can you add the (copied) save entity to it without ruining anything?

Keep in mind I know not the language of assembly. Basically TSC, tileset and spriteset image editing is all I know.

We literally just discussed this.
If you want to put something in you have to delete something or optimize.

Is there a list of what all the other tiles in Cave Editor do?
I've done a search round the forum and checked all the files that come with CE but have not had any luck finding a list of all the tiles.

What do you mean by "other tiles"
If you're referring to the ones that aren't labelled, then they do nothing.

Yeah, should have been more specific.
You have, for example, tile 01 which is background but then you have ones like 15 they both have a red outline but do they do anything different and if not why are they there instead of just having those slots be 00's.

EDIT:

Thanks, Noxid.

Well each tile type has a specific number regardless of whether it does anything or not, this is a feature of the file format more or less. Booster's Lab has built-in descriptions of each tile type in the tile type.. changing thing. It's kept incase a modder wants to add functionality to those tiles.
generally speaking, tiles 0x00-0x1F are background, 0x20-0x3F are skipped when drawing and 0x40-0xFF are foreground

well, I've set flags directly on maps where those flags should happen and they worked. but for these, they don't.... there must be something else.

I'm having the same problem.

I put "disappear when flag is set" but it's disappeared even if the flag isn't set. I also added an event that removes that current flag but it still isn't there!

Is the event on the map you're on? If so you'll need to use a <CNP to make it change immediately, because Disappear when Flag is Set only works after loading the map, not while it's loaded. It's not like this hasn't been explained a million times before or anything.

So this is what happens:

I want an entity (a bucket) to dissapear when a flag is set. I check the "dissapear when flagid is set" box. And it never appears.

I tried unsetting that flag to make sure it wasn't already set, but the same thing happened. I also tried making it flag #9999 and the ID 9999 but it still didn't appear. This happens every time I check the "dissapear when flagid is set" box on an entity.

Well first of all, never use flags over 7999, they don't work properly.

As for your problem, I'm...not sure. What flag were you using before you switched to 9999?

I hate it when stuff like that happens. Sometimes, it's the result of some part of some script setting the flag that you're not aware of. If you haven't already, use either Booster's Lab or Noxid's TSC script editor to generate a flag listing of your mod, and see if that flag isn't being set by some script you're not aware of.

EDIT: Oh yeah I forgot, Doors is right. Never use flags above 7999 unless you know what you're doing.

Don't use flags that low, those are the ones Pixel used in his scripts. I believe all above 4008 and below 7999 are okay to use, someone correct me if I am wrong. Just in case thought I would starts using flags from 4010 and up, that is what I am doing for my mod and have had no problems yet.

imo there's nothing wrong with using low flags as long as you don't also use the original scripts
although if you're just piggybacking on the original game then yeah I guess 4008-7999 would do well

....I tried unsetting the flag. It still did not appear, even when I exited the map and went back.

Have you set the Event ID of the bucket to the same number you set the flag to be?

Example

Event ID = 5000
FLAG = 5000

They should both be the same or it will not work

That's silly, you don't need to do that. The event number has no effect on the flag IDs whatsoever.
