Unable to set custom sprites to springs

[Sevenberry]

Expected Behavior -
Spring will apply the texture given in the editor to the spring in-game.
Actual Behavior -
Spring will automatically revert back to the default sprite depending on object type, AKA the sprite change does not apply in game.

Quick and dirty solution could be adding:

std::string custom_sprite { };
if (mapping.get("sprite", custom_sprite))
{
  if (!custom_sprite.empty())
  {
    change_sprite(custom_sprite);
  }
}

to the constructor that takes the mapping as argument, right after parse_type(mapping);, but this does work for the constructor that just takes the Vector and a type. I have not yet figured out in which cases the latter one is called, so in a first basic test, the solution above did its job. But I assume there might exist a cleaner solution.

The issue is actually a result of a bad quirk in the MovingSprite code, which #2646 fixes. Such custom sprite validity checks are already performed in MovingSprite initializers.

Well, I should have read the linked issue more in detail than just checking the code diff. :-) Thanks for clarification.
