Subject: Hmmm slight probs.

 

I've been working on the sequel to the man who sold the world, and
something rather strange has happened. I don't know if anyone else
has had this happen before?

The file I used for it was a .Z80 image I saved ages ago for this
game because it had Andrews 24 hour clock patched into it. I
converted it back to a .tap and started editing again, all seemed
fine I deleted all the items but the one in the bathroom, and started
making my game. I'm about 4 screens in and I decided to playtest the
screens I'd done. All the items have vanished from where I put them,
and all the items in the unedited rooms have appeared back in their
usual spots even though JSWED displays them and counts them as being
removed.

So I thought lets put the remaining 255 in the start room and chip
them off as I need them, low and behold when I playtested again the
startroom total gives you 109 items and the ones from the rooms I've
been working on are still not there, and the ones from the unedited
rooms are back. Even though JSWED says that the items I've put down
are in place and the ones I removed from the original screens aren't
there.

Could anybody shine a light on this rather odd situation?
