Help with sprites

[leadphalanx]

I'm trying to spruce up a few lights with sprites, but the only problem is that they will not appear in-game, Is there something special I need to do to get them working?

edit: im getting this error message in the console:

Precache of sprites/blueflare1 ambigious (no extension specified)
Setting CSprite to non-sprite model sprites/blueflare1

if your talking about lightglow entities, you need to make sure they go beyond the geometry of the model ur using, EX: if ur using a lightbulb, the glow needs to be a greater size than the size of the lightbulb, also make sure ur putting cubemaps in the room

Add ".spr" or ".vmt" to the end of the sprite name in the sprite entity's properties.
