issues with env_sprite

[AsheMosterMashe]

I can scale up my sprite to any size I want but as soon as I want something smaller than about 0.2 scale it just doesn't scale down. It appears to in Hammer but not in game?

I tried making a smaller sprite that's half the size, and I could scale that down to about 0.1 and then when I changed the vtf back to the previous one it remained the same 0.1 scale in-game with the larger texture... but then it stopped working again.
I have no idea what's going on and I can't find any answers online.

Hello,
Just tested this for myself and the same thing happened - the game would not allow a scale smaller than 0.25.
There doesn't seem to be many easy fixes for this.
The easiest way is to just use a lower-resolution sprite.

Another way is maybe turning the sprite into a particle system that just endlessly loops one frame, but I don't know much about that process aside from it NOT being easy.

that shouldn't be too much harder, my only problem now is launching the particle editor after the 64 bit update lol
