Every time i test a world map im making for my SMBX2 episode, it takes me to some black void where i can't move.

EDIT:
i have found my answer to this.
i made a save file before i worked on the world map. I tried to use PGE's funny unique launcher thingy and load the episode, and created a new file from there. and it took me where the spawn was.

I had this issue as well. I had to ask why this was happening, and it turned out to be my .json file. To fix it, delete it. You should be able to find it in your episode folder. While the method that you found does technically work, it is highly unefficent. I will explain below.

Why this happens:
When one saves while play-testing the world map it creates a .json file that keeps everything the way it was when It is saved and not adding any edits. In simpler words when you save it takes an exact 'snapshot' of the entire world map that is saved in the form of a .json file. Therefore it does not add any changes you might make.

The method you found is unefficent because you would have to open the launcher every time you wanted to playtest your map, which can get a little tedious. As long as you delete the .json file that was presumably created and as long as you don't save while playtesting then you shouldn't have any issues. Hope this helps!

its simple really, you dont need pge launcher or anything, just delete the save file, and make the starting level and check the start here option when configuring the level

oh yeah just to correct myself, when i said "PGE's funny unique launcher thingy" i was talking about on how you can run the game by Test > Luna launcher > start game, which will load the game, in a unique title screen and menu, where you can access all of your episodes, choose your players, and also do a battle mode. looking at it now, its not really a launcher, but sure does look and feel like one.
