Glad I could help.  So if I wanted to use that resource I would essentially either make the sprite smaller or cut out frames.

Also I tried exporting the patch file and importing it. It went from 200k to 20k with a grey box.  Here is the original export of the patch and the imported result.

I tried it again on another machine, was first the first save. Quit and reloaded SCICompanion and it turned grey.  Here is the exported view

Odd. The only thing I did differently was I didn't use the imported palette - I let SCICompanion create a preferred palette. I wonder why it isn't working for me?

I loaded up PQ4 in SCICompanion and extracted the main walking cycle of the main character to seperate animated gifs.
I then loaded up the SCI 1.1 template, created a new view and imported the gifs as is.  After about the 3rd or 4th loop I saved the view, reloaded up the project file and that view was grey.  Even tried doing the rebuild function but no luck.

Quite a simple process to recreate.

A bug in SCICompanion perhaps.

The IDE runs fine for me under the latest build of Wine.  Some delays on menus, but other than it is fine.

So I was trying to import the main character from PQ4 into a view and I noticed after about the third loop when I save the whole view just goes grey and all the images are lost.  Is there a size limit to a view?

Thanks for this IDE - discovered it very recently and I am now able to achieve a childhood dream of creating an actual SCI VGA game.  Just wondering how difficult would it be to port the IDE, etc to Linux?
