Yeah, I did know about it, but thanks all the same :)

I still don't understand why some rooms have only 2 sprites and others
have 5. I thought it was a bug, but editing the 'extra' sprites
doesn't seem to screw anything up. I just can't see anything that's
different in these rooms to warrant having more sprites. It's weird.

Still, not gonna complain.. Ohh, seems all of my unused rooms have 5
slots in them. I would say, at this rate, I'll have more sprites than
I know what to do with, but I doubt that's possible ;0
