When starting Factorio with only this mod enabled, I get the following error message:
Failed to load mods: The given sprite rectangle (left_top=0x1764, right_bottom=104x1848) is outside the actual sprite size (left_top=0x0, right_bottom=104x1826).: _ _ base _ _ /graphics/entity/tank/tank-base-mask-1.png
Just an update, the error only occurs when Sprite Resolution is set to Normal. (Option found in the Graphics Settings.)
Setting Sprite Resolution to High will resolve the issue.
But, this will still be a problem for players using older graphics cards that do not have enough VRAM to support the High Sprite Resolution setting. (3GB VRAM recommended.)
Not sure how to test it so I won't submit a pull request, but I suppose if you don't get to it before I figure that out, I'll submit one on github there.
