- Open Spraylogo Maker and drop an image, GIF, video, TGA or existing spray onto the preview. Several images at once become an animation.
- Pick the Engine: Source makes a VTF, GoldSrc makes a
tempdecal.wad. - Pick a Spray type. Each one sets sensible defaults, which you can tweak in the tabs.
- Keep the size meter under the line, then save.
Tip
The spray types cover the common kinds of spray:
- Still image: mipmaps keep it sharp up close and far away.
- Animated: frames are retimed to the game's fixed speed of about 5 frames a second. Use Fit to limit to drop frames evenly until it fits.
- Fading: as players walk away the spray either fades out gradually between two mipmaps, or switches to other images, each from its own mipmap.
- Pixel art: nearest neighbour scaling, uncompressed formats and point sampling keep hard pixel edges.
Any spray type can be transparent. When the image has transparency, Source sprays use DXT5, halos left over from the image's old background are removed, and colour is filled in under transparent areas so the game doesn't blend black or white into the outline.
In Team Fortress 2, open Options, go to Multiplayer and import the .vtf from under the spray preview. For other Source games, save the zip and copy its materials folder into the game's folder (for example Counter-Strike Source/cstrike), then pick the spray in Options > Multiplayer.
Important
Sprays over 512 KB are ignored by the game. Older Source games and mods allow 120 KB; pick that limit from the size meter. VTF version 7.2 works in every Source game.
Save the spray and put tempdecal.wad in the game's folder, such as cstrike for Counter-Strike or valve for Half-Life. The game rewrites this file whenever you change your spray in the options, so make it read-only once it's in place.
Note
GoldSrc sprays are a single image with up to 255 colours and one transparent colour, and no more than 14,336 pixels. Some servers only accept 64 × 64, which works everywhere.
