Ridley's fade in

[mccad]

For some reason, Ridley no longer fades in correctly when i enter his room. Instead of starting off black and fading in, he is already faded in instantly as soon as you enter the room. Anyone know how to fix this?

I tried copying the entirety of ridley's bank ($A6) from vanilla, but even then the fade still occurred incorrectly.

As it turns out, the issue was ridley's HP value;
Because i had set it too low, he was changing palettes to his damaged ones, which was overriding the black fade in.
