Allright, I was making a project and I had several curving hallways, I had to light them. So , I copied and pasted lights, when I got to the last hall, pasted the light and I got the EVIL thingy. So when the light was pasted, I highlighted it, it said rope. Why did it say that? I had two ropes in next room, a total of maybe 8 ropes in the whole level. So I went to output the WAD with the ropes, it didn't play, but when I deleted the ropes it did play. What happened? Luckly I had several backup prjs. My level has 105 rooms and I'm making more. Has this happened to anyone? Does placing too many ropes cause the EVIL error? I only had two in there.

Thanks for listening.

I once had an EVIL: UNKNOWN OBJECT TYPE DETECTED message, and what I found was an alleged BABOON_NORMAL object instead of—well, I forgot, could have been a shadow or a light—, anyway this was before I knew there even existed such an object, long before TRWEST and custom levels. Still don't know what happened or why. **** happens, as the phrase has it. Another reason for multiple backup files.

Yep i've had this

In the end i had to keep doing find object and rope but the little buggers kept appearing all over the place, as fast as i deleted them they came back. I ended up changing one of my puzzle pieces and holes and the problem went away.

If I remember well, I read somewhere that there is a limit on how many ropes you can use in the same level.... but I don't remember the limit number....
