If you die in a room that is dark, and the continue point is in that room, it will cease to be dark.
[1004][ZC] Bug with dark rooms
after you're revived or during the death animation?
After you've revived.
It's just being lit up by the "white light at the end of the tunnel". 😊
I don't recall any dungeon in the original NES game that started with a Dark Room. This goes into more...undefined behavior than anything. Maybe if someone were to hack the game, similar to Outlands, we can find out.
......can anyone here do that?
I just hacked and checked. First screens in a dungeon (even if they are marked as dark) will be lit if you enter from the outside (exiting to a different room then re-entering that room sets it dark again). Same thing if you restart. It starts out being light, then only shows up as dark if you re-enter it from another room in the dungeon.
Fixed in 1042.
