Yeah, a word of warning with SCI Studio, it acts strange on some people's computers (like mine). If you're using WIN98 it just randomly glitches and twitches (kind of like WIN98). For the most part once you get used to the glitches it works fine.
I always jump between microsoft paint and SCI Studio when doing views. I draw everthing in SCI Studio, export a frame (copy & paste) AS SOON as I'm finished with it. Once I have all of my frames I import one at a time, cycling back and forth through the frames to make sure they aren't corrupted. Once I have a good view I save it and make 1000 copies (okay not 1000, maybe 2 or 3 copies). I usually have to do this for each direction for the view.
It sounds completely insane, but once you get used to it, it's easy. As far as I know memory leaks are to blame. The views get corrupted at COMPLETELY random times. Basically, SCI Studio is just like any Sierra game, SAVE ONCE A SECOND. This may all sound bad, but, it's really not. So long as you save often and back up often, none of these things should cause you a problem. I have never lost any signifigant amount of work because of the glitches. One MAJOR tip. Copy the directory of the game you are making after any major overhauls. Twice I had the RESOUCE.001 file lock up or something?? It ruined the entire game. Luckily I had many backups.
These problems might not exist on all OS's, my computer has a lot of "personal issues", but, regardless I imagine at least some of these errors occur in other OS's. I'm sure most if not all of this stuff will be taken care of in the next update.
Good luck,
