Custom weapons with a script that has an 'End' in it won't work once you leave the room you got them from.

In addition, dropped custom weapons behave oddly. Check the annexed hold for details.

Also, I can't figure for the life of me how to make transparent custom graphics on this.

This doesn't sound like a bug...what would you expect?

Mmm...okay. Would you please give us a rundown of the issue here, though?

The transparent color key is different in this game: (255,0,255).

Uh, for the weapon to keep working as long as you have it in your possession? Am I being unreasonable?

Ah, I've been able to get more detail on it. When you swap one of the aforementioned nerfed weapons for another one, it leaves behind a buggy chest.

To simulate the problem:

1) Go to the weapon room (1N1E), touch the northwest wubba.

2) leave the room, enter. The sword becomes +0 ATK and has no abilities.

3) Touch the southwest wubba, leaving a chest.

4) Leave without hitting any roaches and enter again. The chest vanishes.

5) Touch the southeast wubba, leaving another chest.

6) Leave and enter again. The chest vanishes and a ghost Beethro appears.

A bit, yes, as it is the job of the 'end' command to make a script stop working. Why would you use the 'end' command if you don't want the script to end?

Feature request: "Stop". It has the effect of going to the last line of the script (that is, making the script stop and wait for special triggers or reentering the room)

To make your custom weapons work properly:
Instead of "End", place a Label at the end of the script, and replace the End with "Go to <label name>".

This was a bug. I've fixed it for the next build.
