DS Out of Memory

Okay, so... I finished all the baby abyss dragon sprites, packed them, moved them to the right slot, installed them, and went into a new world to test them...

Then the problems began.

First, they hatched as aquanorns. Who are a totally different slot. Puzzled, I figured DS maybe just hadn't realised the files were there yet, so I fully closed it and opened it up again.

Next came the above complaint, but only when I tried to open the world with the babies in it. It said I was out of memory and should clear more space in my system - for reference, I have 100GB and 41GB free space respectively, and my RAM was only running at 60%. I tried wiping that world and making a new one, but got the same complaint just as the first egg was about to hatch.

Then I thought maybe it was just grumpy about only having the baby sprites for that slot, so I copied over the un-recoloured sprites for the rest of the life stages. That apparently only made it even *more* upset, as now it was saying that I had caused a runtime error.

So, um... any ideas what I broke? >.>

Does anyone have any ideas about this? I was really hopeful we were going to be able to do this. :(

there's this patch in the downloads section that increases DS's available sprite allocation

if you install it, does it work? maybe the problem is that the graphics are too large

I also had a memory issue when working on my Basilisk sprites and this patch helped, it's a must for anyone making new sprites or simply using a lot of different breed sprites ingame.
