Boney sprites swapped?

I was playing around on my Boney Grendel world on C2 (Albian years, gog version) and I went down to check on the Ettins, when I came back up to my Grendels, the sprites were now Bulbous Grendel sprites! Any idea what happened or how to fix it?

Did they age to a different life stage while you were "gone"?

I don't think so, but I don't see how that could cause problems like that. :S

Well, there's different sprites for each life stage, but boney grendels only have one set of sprites... so maybe the GOG version gets confused when there's no sprites for a life stage and defaults to the closest slot? Something like that? It's worth seeing if you can reproduce it, anyway. I don't have the GOG version myself.

Oh, and did you install the boney grendels, or did they come with the game?

Actually when sprites are missing from a lifestage it defaults to the sprites from the previous life stage.

I know it does, I was just wondering if there might be a bug in the GOG version.

I don't think so, I've never had a problem like this before. :S

I've no idea then... Very odd. Are they still the wrong sprites? Have you checked that the sprite files are okay? (Both the boney grendel sprites themselves and the individual grendels' sprites - don't they still have separate sprite files with their moniker as filename in C2?) Are you able to reproduce it in a different world or with a newborn?

They are still normal grendel sprites,
I've checked the sprite files, they all appear to be in order.

I'll need to redownload to try it with newborns, I used both the eggs that come with the pack after all. :S
It should work after I redownload it.

Doesn't the advanced hatchery let you "activate" the eggs again? Or is that not included with the GOG version?

I don't think so, I'll check again. :P

Edit:Nope.

That's probably a problem with Albian Years, actually. Its C1 has an outdated injector's kit, too.

Anyway, sorry I couldn't help.
