Question Water and levelmaking

I've just read thread about Addon Sparks and more stuff, but I still have some questions.

First: Why do enemyes like bees and buterflyes don't appear in some tilesets or is there another reason so they do?

Second: For a long time I've played JJR2TSF with normal water. But half year ago I've saw terrible thing. That thing was water. IT REALLY LAGZ. I'll send screenshot in my next post...

I've worked about adding pic for 15 minutes - nothing.

Just visit this page:
Badwater

Maybe I've done something wrong in graphics settings in JJR2TSF?

If the water lags, it's probably your PC. The reason it looks so horrible in that screenshot is because you're running the game on 8 bit. 8 bit + water = no.

Also, butterflies don't appear in any tileset. There's also some bee related enemy that doesn't ever appear, but I forgot the name of the event and my supreme laziness preents me from looking.

What are your system specs?

I think it's the bee boy, the little, tiny bees you see in Tomb Rabbit's Central Cave.

Bee boys usually work, but I think there are exceptions.. I think sometimes, only a single bee boy appears, and sometimes they don't appear at all, and they're also prone to just stopping like the raven.. *shrugs*
The enemy that won't appear is Bees. I think. It was probably supposed to be a bee-hive or so that never got finished.

Bees are basically used as Hurt events which don't require being put on the floor. The problem is you can stomp them.

As for the water, in 8-bit color, water will use palette entries 176-232 or something like that. Not all tilesets support water. Mez01 is better than many, but still not too good.

It doesn't really matter. JJR2 is only longer, but it still stands for the same thing.

...then why do you guys always use PBA for Pinball Arena rather than PA?
If a word is long enough, there's nothing wrong with abbreviating it into two letters rathern than one.
