That way, you could consolidate all the sprites into one massive sprite and control which frames are displayed with an AMXX plugin. This means that you would precache one very large sprite instead of ~30 (I don't know how many) small independent sprites. I suppose you could use a similar method to embed several different models into one .mdl file. I've never tried such a method and it's just an idea so it could be complete bollocks in practice.

That's actually a pretty interesting idea that I might try...
Does anyone know where the 512 limit is imposed? Is it hlds.exe? I've tried some disassembly and I can't locate the error string anywhere (failed to precache bla bla bla).
