ORIGINAL TITLE: sprites problems

Sprites are very tricky. You must use the perfect path/name, with the right capitals - or it will stop the game. The path should start with sprite/spritename, not the whole path name. Sometimes browsing to the sprite works best, sometimes typing the path/name in works best.

In WC (but not Hammer) a sprite can lock up a level map as soon as it opens, if the animated sprite is in one of the veiws. The solution is to close up all but one view and try again to load the level....or remove the sprite from the WC sprites folder.

If there is fog in a game, it reacts badly with sprites, so that the sprite may have a black border/box, instead of invisible. No solution yet.
