iscript frame 470+ --> Crash

hello all,
I have replaced the lurker's grp-sprite with a new 481 image grp.
In the Init Animation, it plays frames 460 to 481. I noticed that frame 470 or higher causes a crash.

Iscript (long waits for testing):
Code
LurkerInit:
    imgul                 922 0 0     # Lurker Shadow (zerg\zZluShad.grp)
    playfram               460     # Frame set 27, direction 1
    wait                   1
    setflspeed             0
    playfram               461     # Frame set 27, direction 2
    wait                   8
    playfram               462     # Frame set 27, direction 3
    wait                   8
    playfram               463     # Frame set 27, direction 4
    wait                   8
    playfram               464     # Frame set 27, direction 5
    wait                   8
    playfram               465     # Frame set 27, direction 6
    wait                   8
    playfram               466     # Frame set 27, direction 7
    wait                   8
    playfram               467     # Frame set 27, direction 8
    wait                   8
    playfram               468     # Frame set 27, direction 9
    wait                   8
    playfram               469     # Frame set 27, direction 10
    wait                   32
    playfram               470     # Frame set 27, direction 11
    wait                   8
    playfram               471     # Frame set 27, direction 12
    wait                   8
    playfram               472     # Frame set 27, direction 13
    wait                   8
    playfram               473     # Frame set 27, direction 14
    wait                   8
    playfram               474     # Frame set 27, direction 15
    wait                   8
    playfram               475     # Frame set 27, direction 16
    wait                   8
    wait                   1
    playfram               477     # Frame set 28, direction 1
    wait                   1
    playfram               478     # Frame set 28, direction 2
    wait                   1
    playfram               479     # Frame set 28, direction 3
    wait                   1
    playfram               480     # Frame set 28, direction 4
    wait                   1
    playfram               481     # Frame set 28, direction 5
    wait                   1
    sigorder                1

The "Init" animation is suppossed to be a "weapon switch" animation similar to Siege Mode (iscript of siege tank in siege mode contains a similar "Init" animation).

I'm not aware of a GRP frame limitation - 470 is definitely under such a limit if it exists. I suspect there's something wrong with that frame or your GRP. Do you mind posting it?

Not at all! :) I attached the .grp.
The last frames are not directional, but are suppossed to be a transform animation (siege mode-based ability) during which the unit always faces southeast.

Hmmm, I didn't have any problem playing the entire animation. Does your shadow have the right number of frames?

I invite you to try out the map I modified. I don't have the creativity to create maps from scratch, but I do have the know-how to modify existing ones; my project is to tweak community campaigns (specifically those with errors—to make them playable.

Ultraviolet shouted: Mr.BurnLiquid actually yeah though I wasn't really saying it to narc on you. It just caught me off guard because I don't usually see it (because it's against the rules) "The avatar may not be bigger than 150x150 pixels". Kinda silly that it relies on users to be well behaved rather than just limiting the dimensions on uploads :lol:
Now that I wanted to change my avatar, the error image is showing up, haha.

Mr.BurnLiquid shouted: Ultraviolet Thanks; I'm new to the site and a Spanish speaker. I must have missed the part where it was prohibited—I'll change it now.
I invite you to try out a mission I'm modifying from *StarCraft Reversed*; I'm trying to make it more playable and challenging.
