Hi John, I think I found another problem. Items aren't appearing in the game where they are placed in the room, or sometimes 1 or 2 do, but no more. However items in previously existing rooms /are/
appearing OK. So maybe the editor isn't writing to the item table
correctly?

Looks like JSWED isn't updating the item count. Workaround:
manually POKE 34520 (0x85CA) with 256 minus the number of items in
your game. Do you want me to upload 2.1.4 now, or shall I wait until
you've found some more bugs?

I spent 5 hours with it last night and couldn't see any more obvious
bugs - though I thought a little function to copy and paste guardians
would be helpful. Also I haven't fiddled with the guardian table size
parameter, to see if I can recreate that bug.

Oh there was one other thing, but it's in MM. I could never seem to
add all 8 guardians to a room without it crashing in the emulator.
That is (one of the reasons) why Manic Person has no rooms with 8
guardians.
