This is not how you use pushlstring! This is actually sending uninitialized memory to Lua, which is making scripts have inconsistent results (duh?)
c/o JTE: "Tell Red they're a doofus."
The point here is ColorOpposite(MAXSKINCOLORS) would have given an actual result of its own since MAXSKINCOLORS & MAXSKINCOLORS is still MAXSKINCOLORS. This shouldn't happen though, as both Color_Opposite[MAXSKINCOLORS*2] and Color_Opposite[MAXSKINCOLOR*2+1] aren't defined.
Objectplace reallocates the mapthings list to add one more mapthing. By itself there's no problem with this.
But, mobj->spawnpoint is a pointer to the mapthing's location in the mapthings list.
So by reallocating the mapthings list, all references to mobj->spawnpoints point to freed memory.
... Oops.
Now when objectplace reallocates the mapthings list it actually corrects the locations of all mobj's spawnpoints to point to the new list.
Hooray, you can use NiGHTS objectplace again if you really want to.

Admittedly I knew of this particular method from the start but wanted to avoid it in favour of a less-hacky looking method of getting sector.lines' size ...but there was none to be found at all.
Coloropposite hotfix
Quick fix to prevent ColorOpposite(MAXSKINCOLORS) or higher input from giving results out of the actual array's bounds. In other words, preventing it from giving you nonsense values or something.
I created the function for Lua to begin with, so clearly this is 100% my fault once again. Welp.
