and yes I know it's only the pm but a blue screen is quite a heavy behavior imo, I would expect a simple program crash, maybe simply a missing try catch in the misbehaving part? I'm slowly getting into Java so no bluescreens to be expected

It sure is. But to clarify, the blue screen means some of the device drivers crashed (a display driver in this case). That's something which shouldn't happen and (ideally) no application should be able to achieve that. All you can do in such case is work around (which I did now).

well I have the impression that you are all very enthusiastic and supportive. I think I'll give it a big try and see how far I will come ( restricted more due to my lack of knowledge than through the possibilities of Wintermute )

btw: do you know Anime Studio? It has great 2D and even full 3D capabilities and exports to psd, png with full alpha. I intend to use it for my first Wintermute project, going from 3D to 2D. There is a free version too.

psx: Now that the developer is here , maybe you can answer me the scripting and the future Mac support (if any) question).

AnimeStudio: Yes, several times discussed in this forum, a good software. Five magical amulets was made using it.
Mac support: Not in any foreseeable future. Not in this generation of WME.
Script restarting: Usually it's faster to simply restart the game (there's no need to recompile anything etc. so it's fast). However, you can use the DetachScript() method to kill any script and reload it using AttachScript(). Make sure to clear the script cache first though (Game.ClearScriptCache()), because the engine caches already compiled scripts.

I like clear words, so I know what I can aspect 

skripting: ah ok, but the script ahs to be included and compiled already?

@maze :
sorry my fault. I directly bought the pro version...
You can this one, but its no 3d: http://www.synfig.com

Not necessarily. If you include the dcscomp.dll file with the game, the engine will be able to compile scripts on-the-fly (just like it does when you run the game from ProjectMan).

uh, this is great! Many fields for experimentation with this scripting language, wonderful.

I would like to thank you all for your help, hopefully I will manage to show something in not to far a time

The old name of Anime studio was Moho, and it was free, before eFrontier bought it and change the name. It is basically identical. Anime Studio comes with more examples, but the help files are the same. Try finding it in internet as Moho 5, Lost Marble Moho 5

No, it wasn't free. It was slightly less expensive than it's now. And now there are two editions available.
