Were you using absolute target?

If you're asking me, I don't know. I have not heard of this.

Rather than having relative position coordinates (-1, -2, 1, 2, etc.) you could define exactly where you want the player to go when the shift is hit. So multiple instances of a shift take the player to the same spot.

Oh.
I was talking about actual screens, not shifts. You start off at screen 1000, 1000.
An example of a screen using negative numbers could be -138, -27.

S/he was explaining what "absolutetarget(a)=true" was.

S/he

Kasran = he.

All very valuable information, but I think I get the gist.

O_O  Now my only worry is exceeding a polite size for the game.  I've just started on the second section (^_^  Pirates, yay!) and I'm at 2 megs compressed...This is gonna be big'ish.

Not that I care, it'll just be harder to upload once it's finished.

BTW, is there a clever way to count the number of rooms you've finished without hand counting them.  I'm over 200 right now, and it's boring going 1,2,3,4...etc.

The Level Composer counts screens.

...and on size issues, I was under the impression that it's mostly relatively high-quality music that bloats filesize, or really many bloated gradients/tilesets/cutscenes. To keep a "polite size" (), that would mean to reduce music quality or offer that as a separate download, in the very most cases. I think there's more discussion about that on the forum already, that might be findable with the [search]. I am not completely sure, though.
