Obscure M8 bug
Yet another mode 8 bug!! This ones fairly easy to avoid but I thought it were worth flagging up 
So, as you may have read I've got a game which dynamically switches out WLDs as you move from sector to sector, to simulate rooms over rooms. It's a
great trick and it's making my current project possible
But there is a problem! Yes. When dynamically loading in another WLD, sometimes the screen goes black. No visual readout from the mode 8 camera, but
you can still hear the player walking, you can see their colliding with walls, passing into sectors (I have a stats readout at the top of the screen
for m8_wall and m8_sector, amongst othar things haha). I managed to stop it happening, and isolated it down to one single function -
set_env_color.
Basically, if set_env_color has been used at all - even if it's set to one thing then set back to RGB 0, 0, 0 then it still causes this error. Comment
out every set_env_color and this bug does not occur.
A weird one, yes?
Yes.
