Hi!
I don't know how it happened and I don't think it's supposed to be that way, but all of my creatures I placed in utiLITI have the same ID than a collision box. For example, a "creature1" and "collisionBox15" are both with ID 72 and "creature2" and "collisionBox16" are both with ID 73. Creatures and collision boxes are not placed on the same tiles.
I'm not quite sure when nor how it happened, but I'm guessing jumping between Tiled and utiLITI to do midifications could have something to do with it. That's just a guess, though.
All I can think about as a fix for the moment is to check and change all of the IDs in the ".litidata" file itself.
Just for information, I noticed the bug through two different ways:

• - My collision boxes have properties which returned null when trying to access them through their map IDs.
• - When moving the collision boxes in utiLITI, the sprite of the creature with the same ID showed up.
  I didn't post this bug on GitHub because, as I said, I don't know where it's coming from. But if I find out, unless someone other does, I'll obviously post it here and on GitHub.

Does Re-assigning map ids (~~*~~Map - > Reassign IDs*) solve this?
unfortunately, we know that when switching between Tiled and utiLITI, IDs can get messed up.

I tried more than once. Closed utiLITI. Openend it up again.
But it doesn't seem like it's doing anything. And nothing shows up in console either.

I've just committed kind of a workaround for this: When an entity with an already existing ID is added to an environment, it (and the corresponding MapObject) gets assigned a new ID. Still, the "Reassign map IDs" feature seems to be broken. Gotta have a look at that tomorrow.
Was your issue fixed by this?

To be honest, I never managed to compile a gradle project.
But I'll give it a try by tomorrow.

You won't even need to build the utiLITI project yourself for testing : clone the master branch of LITIengine, then run utiliti/Program.java as a Java application from your IDE

I can't load the ".litidata" file as project.
Here's the last crash log I got:
main threw an exception: java.lang.NullPointerException at de.gurkenlabs.utiliti.components.EditorScreen.load(EditorScreen.java:308) at de.gurkenlabs.utiliti.Program.main(Program.java:141)
Edit:
Looks like it's coming from "this.getGameFile()" at line 308.

Is it possible for me to see your game file? It would help a lot to track down the failure.

I created another ".tmx" map and had duplicate IDs.
I then re-assigned the MapIDs as you told me to before, closed and opened utiLITI again (didn't do this first time round), and found no duplicates.
So, the re-assigning works, but could be a bit twitchy sometimes.

CalvinMT Found the bug: Re-assigning IDs only considers the MapObjects, but not their respective entities. Will change that.
