"If I play for a while I've had a few instances of crashes due to a script trying to sp_<something> to illegal sprite values (like 8262 etc) sometimes, is this something that happens in freedink too sometimes or just here?"
Actually, there was one instance of a random crash reported from a tester... and an instance of a bunch of random sprites vanishing across many screens as well, which baffled me... they were there... but invisible apparently (the dialogue showed in the correct place).
I could not reproduce it, and just ended up throwing some preload_seq lines in thinking the engine somehow unloaded the graphics from memory? lol. I'm now thinking it has something to do with this sp thing you mentioned of writing to illegal sprite values. If I can pinpoint the offending script/s, I will fix them. I'll continue looking, now that I know that might be a reason. Although it's strange. I did an entire playthrough and didn't experience it, so in FreeDink it only seems to cause chaos rarely.. but this could be the reason I guess.
