TF2: in game graffiti!

[Morety]

You can do something called "sprays" in TF2. So what it is, you can do some basic photo-editing and place pictures in-game.

You can spray a sniper on a wall and watch the enema shoot at him.

Me, I'm thinking of some more fun stuff. Like, maybe when I get on a server I'll 'spray' the ball-licking-lion onto a home base wall or something like that which says "Lions Are Here!"

I don't know all the details on it yet, but damn it looks like it could be some fun stuff. I'll get into this over the holidays for sure. Here's a link from MyU:

HAHAHA... That's exactly what I was thinking half way through your post! Wouldn't it be great to see a giant lion licking his balls grafitii'd on a wall in a game! I'd die of laughter!!!!!!!

[Morety]

I intend to make that my trademark :D

[]LoL[Harm]

I do exactly that every game I'm in. I have a 256x256 lion licking his balls. :)

Ever since Mo posted that picture!

This is what sprays are for:

I'm just sticking to what I had in TF Classic: "CAUTION: WET FLOOR"

[Morety]

Harm, can you tell me, in plain English, what I have to do to make these work?

[Morety]

ok, I've downloaded http://nemesis.thewavelength.net/index.php?c=149 for the vtf edit and saved my picture in .vtf form

Wtf do I do now?

You just need to put it in the right folder, as far as I can tell.

[spyder913]

actually scratch that. all you have to do is this:

1) While in TF2, go to Options->Multiplayer

2) Click "Import Spray"

3) Find your file, and you're good to go.

You may possibly need to do the following first:

0) resize your image to be 64/128/256 x 64/128/256

[Morety]

Wow, looks easy. When I tried to do it though, for some reason it's not picking up the file I go to. It's only 43k too.

[Morety]

Trying to save it in the proper file first:

Save As > Save in C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\ACCNAME\team fortress 2\tf\materials\VGUI\logos (if some don't exist make them) >hit the scroll down > .VTF > and save

[Morety]

BWAHAHAHAHA

This is the beginning of some fun stuff!

[Morety]

hehehe man, all the limitless options of things I can do with this! I LOVE IT!

I'm going to have to work on my animation skillz now.

[spyder913]

woot! awesome!

[Morety]

Okay, here's what it's going to look like in-game. I've got the transparencies all set up and some animation in it now:

[Morety]

Meh, figuring out all the animation stuff for in-game is like rocket surgery.

I'll have to stick to still shots for now. My patience wore out.

[Hammer]

Picked up the game today. Got owned but had a lot of fun. Mostly doing heavy right now because it doesn't seem to require much in the way of thinking. Pull trigger until dead, wash, rinse, repeat.

[Noleader]

You need to put the spray up here so any lion can use it :D

[Muadi]

Woot, multi-Lion spray.
(if you have owned a male cat, will have a different meaning for you :) )

[Morety]

lol muadi :p

Here's the still image. If I can figure out how to do animated sprays sometime, I'll post it up as well.

[edit]I can't upload vmt files here :/ or post on my webspace.
