The actual midi table is doable to resize - but the game has hardcoded tables for where it reads in the music data (compressed sizes, uncompressed, etc) which makes it not really feasible:

70006C60: 3C018006 LUI $at, 0x8006 #
70006C64: 3C038006 LUI $v1, 0x8006 #

70006C94: A46C0000 SH $t4, 0x0000($v1) #(*STORE) 80063738

Not sure the ramifications of moving/adjusting, but wasn't going to do so.

I don't know if this is a bug or if I've just misunderstood something, but the Setup Editor seems to show an extra guard in Caverns. He's at the bottom of the first stairway in the large catwalk area:



I checked the game and he isn't there.

I think that's a vanilla game bug. The two guards are overlapping each other horizontally, so one overrides the other. A lot of the collision stuff is actually calculated in 2D.

Same on Aztec. These missing guards spawn on the new Xbox release. Seems it has a bug where every guard has a radius of zero, so the game doesn't despawn them when they're too close to other guards or walls.

I can see why they did that. While experimenting, I found that when a character spawns even slightly inside a wall (when its radius reaches out of the clipping tiles), it can crash the game due to math errors.

That would explain it. Thanks.

There is also an extra scientist in both Facility and Silo, but because they are positioned partially inside an object, they don't appear. Those two Aztec elites are just far enough off of valid clipping that they won't load in. Shifting them slightly fixes that.

Perfect Dark will act similarly, if a guard is close enough to wall clipping, especially angled architecture, such as cave geometry.
