After having successfully imported the new sprites they are replaced by a blue cup when I save the project or run the play test.
This happens only for the sprites exceeded 2,650.
I tried to import 10 new sprites and then delete 5 of those already present (before the 2650); as a result I got that 5 of the ten new sprites were imported correctly saved, while the other 5 have been replaced by the blue cup.
I also noticed that if the compression function of the sprites is set on "TRUE" all sprites are properly saved, while setting the function on "FALSE" the problem occurs.
It is therefore possible that there is a limit of other kind of import sprites in addition to the number of 30,000 mentioned in the statistics window?
Unfortunately I need to leave the compression function on "FALSE" because otherwise the game is too slow at run.
I'm using the AGS version 3.3.3 and set a screen resolution of 800x600, while the "acsprset.spr" file weighs now about 2 GB (if relevant).
Thanks for the attention!
