Hello again, everyone!

Just wanted to ask if anyone knows how to fix custom sprites not animating in game. Its a bit of a head scratch'er for me!

I assume that this sprite animates appropriately in the Hammer/Jack 3D view and the sprite wizard used to make it?

If so then it might be worth showing the settings and flags you have set for said sprite in the level editor.

Yeah, It animates properly in JACK and HL Texture Tools, but not in game.

Here are the flags and settings, I think I had them set right...

When you created the sprite, what sprite type did you select? It should be vp_parallel for most sprites. If you selected something else other than vp_parallel, that might be why the sprite isn't showing up in-game.

@The Mad Carrot: Tested with both Parallel and Orientated, It shows up in game but not animated. But I'll give it another try!
