Dark Nation and Fatcatfan,
As you may or may not be aware, scrolling side warps between 2 different DMAPS behave very differently than they did in Version 1.93 as far as continuing is concerned. Before, they acted like any instawarp type; when you died, you would return to the beginning of the dungeon. Now if you die after going through one of these warps, you will continue in the room of the warp's destination (possibly stuck in the upper lefthand wall).
This behavior will "break" many existing quests that use the scrolling sidewarps (in effect, creating a new sort of CONTINUE BUG), since these old quests were made with the old sidewarp behavior in mind. Mega Man: Dr Wily's Revange comes to mind since it uses many scrolling sidewarps in the dungeons.
My suggested remidy is as follows:
1. Restore the scrolling sidewarps to their original behavior from Version 1.93 and before.
2. Optionally, create a new scrolling sidewarp type that behaves like an Entrance/Exit warp. I can see many uses for this new behaving type of scrolling sidewarp, but it must be created as an additional type so that older quests will not be "broken."
Let me know if you have any questions or need me to clarify this. Thanks,
