So i set up a hud sprite sheet, numbers and letters included and 0,1,2, and 3 appeared in the corners of the designated hud area, even without hud elements created.
I cannot get rid of them, and when i try layering the test hud over them, 3 overlaps it.
I don't know what they're for or how to get rid of them.

1 and 2 aren't visible but are when in the hud elements editor.

Strange... Could you share screenshots of your HUD graphic tilesets and you HUD editor?

I have updated the tileset a bit since posting, but this is pretty much it.

What does the mapping look like on the tiles tab? Is it pulling the wrong references for the box corners?

The tiles tab is the image above the HUD elements screenshot. I arranged the tiles in sequence to the list on the left of the screen.

I think you just need to remap your HUD tileset: in "Hud & Boxes", on the "Tiles" tab, the list on the left is all the HUD tiles, you will see at the bottom there is elements named "_BOX_0_TL", "_BOX_0_TC", ... those corresponds to tiles displayed at the edges of the HUD. ("_BOX_0_TL" for "Top Left", "_BOX_0_TC" for "Top Center", ...)

When you select one in the list (here, for example, "_BOX_0_TL"), you can assign with tile you want to use for the "top left" corner edge of the hud box.

You need to verify each of them, and reassign if not corrects.

Everything seems to be in order!
I never took a look at the default assets and just jumped into making my own.

Seems to be correct.
And you still have a weird result during gameplay?

Not that i'm aware of!
though the bottom or top half doesn't show when the HUD area is drawn on either top or bottom of the screen.
but i'm sure there's a good reason for that and nothing bad.

The 8pixels top row and the 8pixels bottom row are "cut"... on most CRT TVs, it's the overscan.
If you plan to play your game on real CRT TV, you should avoid to draw any important element in the overscan zone (the 8px top / bottom rows).
On some emulator (fceux / Mesen) you can change the value of the overscan (when you set to 0, you see the entire nes screen as designed)
