Summary

Hi, I am experiencing a weird bug/glitch in my game. Please see attached screenshots. As you can see there is a strange shadow of an object remaining even after the object has been (re)moved, it seems to be cut off by where the shadow tiles are or used to be. Background: the barrel with wine and plant were in tileset E. After I wanted to shrink the tilesizes I removed E and added these objects to my B tile. After that the glitch appeared.

Hi,

As you can see there is a strange shadow of an object remaining even after the object has been (re)moved, it seems to be cut off by where the shadow tiles are or used to be.


Background: the barrel with wine and plant were in tileset E. After I wanted to shrink the tilesizes I removed E and added these objects to my B tile. After that the glitch appeared.


I have tried putting back the original tile, putting blank tiles from E, clearing the tiles completely etc... nothing seems to help.


Important fact: this only appears in game. NOT in the editor, editor looks totally fine.


The shadow of the tileset sprite appears black at 50% (just like the shadow brush) but is drawn above the characters in game, not under.


I have absolutely NO idea what is going on....
