That screen_loc is waaaay out of bounds for a normal map, you're probably expanding your map so far that you see nothing but empty space.

"111,6"

Will place the item 6 tiles up and *111* to the left of the bottom corner of your screen.

thank you! for some reason i was thinking that the screen_loc is where the object would be located on the map. Changing this fixed my problem, thank you again
