About the loading and displaying of sprites via script: are there any examples of this anywhere? Any kind of documentation on this? Any games that use it? Is it officially supported yet? I see it in the Jamesland dictionary.

Wandering Hamster uses it; there are some examples in the HSS file. I believe it gets used near the end of the monster belly dungeon. Other than that, it's still a Nightly feature so there hasn't been much usage or documentation yet.

I'm using slices a bit in my current project; they take a fair amount of practice to get the hang of.

With the viking ship and snake head? Will take a peak at the code, thanks.

Is that the project Mr. Powers is assisting with? I'm looking forward to it. But please, I beg of you, please hear my plea: figure out some way to use these sprite functions to avoid using the done-to-death stock battle system. If you're even having battles, you crazy successful ohr reality producer.

You might also want to check out Slice test case RPGs neither of them is necessarily a great tutorial, but they do use the heck out of slices.

There is also Space InvadeOHRs which is completely slice-scripted, and not too terribly complicated.

Charbile!? OHR games?!?
Mind blown.

I'd say slice implementation is currently at missing features/polish/bugfixing. The only missing documentation is perhaps a tutorial or two.
