I am trying to debug my hack right now. I cannot get a red coin ring and red coins to work in one level. I did not use a progress path in this view, and it is the secret exit view. When I get all the red coins, it produces a 1up. The 1up appears and drops about two tiles and disappears. Is there a fix for this? What is causing it?

Looking at the original game data, I think the database may be off here as well. It seems they almost always use the same Input IDs. This is another place I am questioning the nybbles. Right now in the database we have 2-3 as Input IDs. I am wondering though if 2 is a checkbox value 1, and 3 is some other function.

Dirbaio, if you can look at this data in the database and see if this may be the case. Also, I did try using the different values and got no changes. It is possible they just reserved these IDs only for red coins.

"The 1up appears and drops about two tiles and disappears. "

I got once a similar thing with fireballs. There were some regions of the level that fireballs that went through it disappeared completely. I wasn't able to fix it.

If you're getting the 1up spawned, it means that the red coin ring and red coins themselves are working right.
Have you tried touching the 1up while it's dropping those two blocks? Can you get it then? If so you probably have the fireball bug too.

Yup. I think, you should move your red coin ring + coins a bit away from the zone in your level. That COULD fix it. If you want to learn more about the secret "dissappear zones" then you can look into Area1 of the finals castle. The upper left corner (many 16x16 boxes) have the zones. I noticed it, while I was making a level, based on the area

Nope, I dont think it has something to do with the level/area. Watch into the 2-Tower I made with the W8-FinalCastle Area 1. The top left 16x16 Blocks are filled with my level and dont have that bug.

I had one time too that bug. Just move your complete level (View, Objects, Sprites, Paths, Progress Paths, Entrances, Zones) 5 16x16 Blocks down. Probably it works then.
