I think I've found a bug in N v_1.4. I set practice mode on ON for practicing mines path 3. I forgot to set it OFF. I went to another level to make my highscore better. I made it better (at least it said, new personal best). I went to another, I finished also that one faster (at least it said, new personal best). When I went back to user levels I saw that the new highscores are too good to be true... One had 182.00 (The Crazy Miner) the other had 90.00 (user level Flower). So that's impossible. I watched the replay and the time was not the time that in the little box stood. I deleted the maps from user level.txt to fix it and then I put them back there again. But that didn't work.

I can't improve my personal bests on that two maps because of this 'little' thing. Any ideas how to fix it? I finished crazy miner with a better time (but still, it's irritating me that the box says 182 secs while the real time is 142.475), but flower with a worse time... And it's saved... forever? Please help me :)

Try this:

Edit the map, delete any random object other than the ninja or the last object that appears (i.e. the last object in the map data), and then replace it.

For reference; how to edit a map:

1. Copy the raw data from the map: (if you are extracting it from the userlevels.txt, that is the part in green) $MAP_NAME#AUTHOR#DESCRIPTION#MAP_DATA#

2. Go to the debug menu / map editor by pressing either ` ~ or \ |, paste the map data you copied into the top box, and then press L to load the map.*

3. Press E to go into edit mode, press insert to enter object editing mode, and then use the key provided to delete and insert an object.*

*These steps might be different if you are using a mac.

Check fr NaN'd objects. (Shouldn't effect it, but whatever.)
