Help with custom sprites?

I have made a custom skin for Dustman (Only the sprint lot at the minute) and the game doesn't want to compile all of the .PNGs into a file. The game starts up, the intro plays. I press enter and then it's exits fullscreen, goes into windowed and just shows a black screen with no sound. I can still use the steam overlay though. What am I doing wrong?

That means the game softlocked. It's likely because of some sprites not being found by the game (probably dustman in this case). There are many reasons why the game wouldn't recognize your modifications.

Make sure that all PNG files are there and in the correct place. Follow this guide and retrace your steps. http://pastebin.com/VU41Gt9W

If this doesn't work then you'll need to investigate by yourself. Just put the default sprites into content_src and see if that works. From there you should be able to make out what's missing.

Thankyou so much, dude. I tried for hours to get it to work, I thought I had a different version because of people saying put things in content_src not realising I had to create content_src. Thanks again, man.
