Bad sprite type ERROR

[lavasap13]

I'm trying to create a custom animated sprite for my map. Everything works, the sprite is visible when I compile the map, but when I try to pack and test it on a separate server the image won't appear and an error would show up in the console.
I usually test textures by removing the materials folder from /Team Fortress 2/tf to another location just to see if everything is packed inside the .bsp file. I also use Vide to pack any custom content which is usually detected automatically but not for the sprites for some reason.

If you use compilePal it looks for custom stuff in the /Team Fortress 2/tf/custom folder and not /Team Fortress 2/tf
Hope that fixes your problem.

I'm switching compile editors. Compile pal was able to fix the issue. I also had to change the code in the .vmt file since the animation would stay frozen. Thank you for the help!
