If that is the case, then the release version will have a problem when it looks up the bpp value for a type 10 sprite (64k colours), since the static array of stored values only goes up to type 8 sprites 8o(
I was wondering what happens when 64k sprites are turned loose. Do apps understand them, for example something like Ovation Pro uses RISC OS to render sprites but probably also has some code of its own, then there are apps like DPScan which process sprites using all their own code.
I might be inclined to automagically convert to 32bit sprites. -- David Pilling email: david@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx web: http://www.davidpilling.net post: David Pilling P.O.
