autosprite2 does not work with models. Brushed based geometry only.

That effect probably would look better with a particle-based solution anyway - à la Return to Castle Wolfenstein flame thrower.

Not true. It depends on the engine, and Q3 perfectly supports it.

You have to flip/rotate your verts, thats all. Its a bug with Q3 that causes it. Make a brand new box, or rotate that one around on its one axis until it fixes it.

I had the same trouble a few years ago and i got around it this way.

Ah, good to know. Would you mind explaining in more detail how you got it working? It's a long outstanding problem I've been having.
