These are documented as patternNumber 1 to 164 being translated by the engine to image id 136 to 300. It turns out we don’t have the full set in the IDE. I’m not sure how to get hold of MetaCard these days but I’m pretty sure there’s some people here that do so what I’d like to know is does it contain all image IDs 136 to 300?

yes.

I could send you the „mctools.mc“ stack, which contains everything from the MC IDE!
Just drop a line.
