Hey there,
In what I'd call the Underground City (so, beneath the Grand Palace, after you defeat Hydra) - there's the area where you meet the resistance. (It has Krissie, Watts, and a couple of other soldiers).

In the original game, often one of the 3 moving characters won't appear, and going in and out can 'swap' the visible characters.
You mentioned that you fixed this in the mod. I'm keen to learn about what the issue was - and how you managed to fix it..! Was it a programming issue (or something due to sprite/character limitations)?

The small improvements like that really do add up.

Ho hey!

In the original game the room allows weapon, so the maximum number of NPCs onscreen is 3, so you have to make a character despawn off screen to have a chance to make the fourth character appear. This is annoying as it is often Krissie or the code guy who will not spawn.

I just had to forbid weapons and set correct palettes for all 4 characters so everybody can show up at once.

I often try to fix small things like that when I notice them. There's a lot I did that I did not document and forgot about.
